Not necessarily a grand consequence, but lots of small things add up and you'll end up living in a different sort of world.

I think the best part of a lot of time travel movies is people trying to figure out whatever they managed to change.. Obviously usually it's like two degrees of separation from some massively historically important person and Nazis end up winning WWII.

That's probably the easiest way to it. But equally if you changed the outcome of WWI you might save the world from Hitler. But then perhaps you end in 2025 with like 70's technology, because no massive wars drove money to inventions like radars and nukes. Oh and rockets, V2 rocket and Nazi rocket scientist helped us get to space.

Not a time travel movie but me just listing those reminded me, "For All Mankind" is a nice show, starts from the space-race and the history isn't massively different, but a thing goes differently than in history and then you'll see how it effects the space race and the world in general.
