* The {{Jidaigeki}} film ''Film/ShogunsSamurai'' begins with Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty, dying 8 years before his historical death of a sudden illness (actually he is poisoned by retainers loyal to his oldest son, who they feared would be [[PassedOverInheritance passed over]] to be the next shogun), creating a brief but bitter SuccessionCrisis between the oldest son Iemitsu and Tadanaga, a younger and more talented brother who had been favored by his parents. The film ends with UsefulNotes/YagyuJubei revealing that after he learned of the immoral schemes conducted by Iemitsu and Jubei's father Muennori (who is [[DragonInChief Iemitsu's most powerful backer and responsible for Iemitsu's success]]), which included murdering friends of Jubei to cover up those schemes, he's taken revenge by assassinating Iemitsu just before he could take up the title of shogun and thus ended the Tokugawa line. The film closes with narration saying that this is, of course, impossible, as historically Iemitsu was shogun for almost twenty years and the Tokugawa shogunate continued for over two hundred... unless that history is a lie...

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/TheZoneOfInterest'' provides a minor example. In real life, Rudolf HÓ§ss was hanged after the Nuremberg trials. While nothing in the film's ending explicitly contradicts this, he's shown with BloodFromTheMouth, an IncurableCoughOfDeath, and a StressVomit that suggests he may be developing some kind of disease or an allergic reaction to the camp's pollutants, before the movie cuts to black.

* ''Series/TheGreat'' is by its own admission "an occasionally true story" about the life of UsefulNotes/CatherineTheGreat, so this is employed liberally. Two of the most notable examples are Catherine killing the Ottoman Sultan[[note]]it's not stated who specifically he is supposed to be [[/note]] and Peter III falling through ice when in reality he was imprisoned snd died under mysterious circumstances after Catherine overthrew him.
