The Framers of the Constitution gave the President the power to veto acts of Congress in order to prevent the legislative branch from becoming too powerful. Congress can override a veto by passing the act by a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate.
Some 70 years ago, Hitler's Wehrmacht was chalking up one victory after the next, but then Winston Churchill stood up to the dictator. Their duel decided World War II.

Explanation:
In the Anglo-Spanish war , if the English lost, the Spanish would have likely landed an invasion force and succeeded in overthrowing Elizabeth I, thus obliterating the Anglican church. Rather than becoming the most formidable sea power in Europe and, thus, being able to project that sea power, England would have become a Spanish vassal, making it much easier for Spain to “rub out” Protestantism in the rest of Europe. Furthermore, the notion of “Great Britain” would be strangled in its bassinet.
In the Battle of Thermopylae had not the Spartans, Thespians, and Thebans held the pass and allowed the other Greek forces the ability to muster a defense against the invading Persians it is entirely likely that Alexander the Great would never have had Aristotle as his tutor, and never have spread Hellenization to the known world resulting in the rise of classical culture and the offshoots it created.
In the Fall of Constantinople ; essentially this battle played a huge role in the formation of the modern world. as places like the Americas would never be discovered and the world maybe would be a different place, if the battle of Constantinople didn't happen.
