Sure would be a starting point. Couple of tweaks of the timeline maybe.
Be interested to see anything you come up with

Yup ... first four years in the trenches, then the Spanish Flu epidemic :o Sounds pretty Apocalypse-y to me!
Old Wombat:
WW1 was, pretty much, The Apocalypse for the Romanov's but not so much the rest of the world because, although it caused massive social upheavals, it didn't destroy all/most of civilisation.
However, as BT (buzzbomb) said; a good starting point, though, if you tweak it a bit. :smiley:
For example: If the Spanish flu epidemic was an outbreak of the Zombie Virus. :o
Old Wombat:
WW2 is, also, a good starting point.
What if the Manhattan Project had led to the World consuming conflagration that some physicist feared? ???

Some cometary apocalyptic scenarios:
Halley's comet made a relatively close approach in 1910 and the Earth passed through its tail. A slight bump to it's orbit and it would have been very bad news. It came even closer in 837 at 5 million km. If the core (or even a fragment) had hit the Earth, it would have caused extensive extinctions, year or decade long winters and just a generally not fun time.
Comet Hyakutake in 1996 came within 15 million km. Doesn't seem that close, but it was only discovered 3 months before its closest approach. With a core 4.8km in diameter, it would have been very bad news if it had impacted.
