Norway not joining the EU is definitely up there as a "what if", but I think Brexit vote (2016), EU constitution failure (2005) and especially French parliament voting down the creation of an EU based around a unified EU military (1954) are the top three in my mind.

The biggest “what if” in the history of the EU? On 22 January 1972, Norway signed the Accession Treaty to join the European Economic Community (alongside Denmark, Ireland and the UK)
Unlike the others, Norway never joined.
I wrote a short text about it here:
