Go back to the early 30's and give Japan a textbook detailing the WW2 in Asia War and see how far they get.
If You Could Change One Historical Event, What Would It Be?
- Thread starter Emperor Norton I
- Start date
Go back to 1966, sleep with Dianne Chandler in her prime.
History? Feh. One assassination either way isn't going matter, might as well have some fun.

Whack Martin Luther over the head with a bat, and while he's incapacitated, call the Inquisition.
Well if Dief said it....
After all he was at least the 22nd best prime minister Canada has had.
Have Juana of Castile (or her husband Philip I) die before Charles V comes along.
That way the Habsburgs never become Kings of Spain, and remain purely German Princes. If this is the case they are quite likely to turn Protestant in the early 16C. Germany becomes effectively a Protestant country with a modest Catholic minority. So they don't get all those religious wars, culminating in the Thirty Years one.

Here's real food for thought...
Go back to Nov 22, 1963 with a few firecrackers to Dealey Plaza, light them and throw them on JFK's limo just as he's turning into Dealey Plaza.
The loud bangs will immediately startle Agent Greer and other Agents into believing the President is being shot at and the motorcade will then speed up and head away.
What net effect on history this has is debatable....

I'd head back to December 7th and the Opana Radar Site and warn Lt. Kermit Tyler warn him that the blips aren't the flight of B-17's. I'd also bring books and photo's about the attack in case he needs proof.

I'd go back to January of 2001 and warn the FBI about 9/11. I would have to bring a lot of proof back with me to convince them, but I think it could work.

I'm with RogueBeaver. I'd whack Princip. Archduke lives.
If it's US history, I'd whack Booth. Lincoln lives, Reconstruction isn't messed up, and we are POTENTIALLY saved 100 years of pain.

On August 6 1945, I'll be enjoying a Japanese ramen at downtown Hiroshima. Slurping the soop, chewing on the noodles. And I died. So it goes.
I would get (beat) some sense into Kerensky and co. in '17, and get them to accept a peace with the CP that gives Poland, Finland and parts of Ukraine... then I'd do the same with the CP leaders to accept said peace... then wait till '20 and have Lenin, Trotsky (nothing personal... but I cannot let him loose) and Stalin framed for a Coup attempt and promptly sent to Siberia...
Also. getting Kerensky and Co. to force Nicholas II to return to the throne under constitutional monarchy conditions...
Or... I could make sure the Russian Civil War is seen as a continuation of WWI by the Allies (with all the Germans supported in part the Reds and the expedition being more an answer to Germany than the Reds on the first place) and go and stomp on the Communists...
OTOH... if I can avoid the Thousand Day War... or maybe I can get some federalist on the reins of the 1824 Republic of Colombia (now known as Gran Colombia because some dumb guy thought in 1863 that New Granada ought to be called Colombia..) and avoid the practical dictatorship from happening in 1828-31...

This happening?
Some of these events cannot be avoided. An example is killing Adolf Hitler, maybe another soldier who gains power from WW1 still might have "stab in the back" thoughts. So, WW2 will still happen. Or the archduke survives Black Hand at Sarajevo but gets killed by another terrorist. When someone dies, someone else takes his or her place.
Gold- prevent communism and fascism from spreading.
Silver- force everyone to like alternate history
Bronze- fall asleep
