There is a whole genre of fiction which explore what would have happened if certain historic events turned out differently: [Alternative History](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_history). If you market your work as part of this genre, then anything goes. But this genre usually focuses on changes which have lasting consequences on a global scale, not just the lives of a few individual people. If you claim or just imply that your work is historically accurate, then anything that contradicts historic consensus will be perceived as a research mistake on your behalf and will likely be seen as a flaw in your work.
