(s'il n'avait pas plu, l'avenir) était changé : (if it hadn't rained, the future) would have been changed, would have been different littéraire
This usage of the imparfait (était) to mean "would have been…" is very literary and somewhat old-fashioned. In modern French, we would use the conditionnel passé: aurait été (changé).
  • "S’il n’avait pas plu dans la nuit du 17 au 18 juin 1815, l’avenir de l’Europe était changé."
