Historical Characters Who Died Sooner Than In OTL

This entry lists all of the historical figures whose lifespan was shorter in one or more of the works of Harry Turtledove than in OTL. Most of these characters were killed off years before they died in OTL (for instance, Winston Churchill, who died in 1965 in OTL, is killed in a car accident in 1940 in The War That Came Early), but some did die mere months earlier than their OTL death.

The above applies to the novel. In the short story, John Nance Garner dies in 1953 (d. in OTL 1967, is still alive at end of novel), Hirohito, Emperor Showa dies in December 1945, and Sam Rayburn (d. in OTL 1961, not figuring in novel) dies in 1937.
