If You Could Change One Historical Event, What Would It Be?

So many to choose from...

I think I'd avert the modern day V4 states becoming Soviet sattelites. That is all.
 
..... keep Margaret Maid of Norway alive long enough to marry Edward II and unify England and Scotland in the 1300's or stop the American Revolution and create a federal United Kingdom of Britain, Ireland and America.
No thanks. Not keen on either. A more interesting scenario would be that Sir Andrew Moray didn't die but Wallace did.
 
One thing to change? I'd make sure the Big Bang doesn't happen.
If I can't do that I would kill Karl Marx. Nothing wrong against what he says, but rather the way some people take it (North Korea, Mao, Stalin)

If it wasn't Communism, it'd be something else. Also, I'm sure somebody else would have come up with a similar theory if it wasn't him. Communism is pretty logical.
 
1066 and all that...

Maybe have the English Fleet in the Solent upwind of William's transports and cause critical losses. Or William gets killed (he nearly was) or Gyrth and Leofwine fight Senlac whilst Harold waits in London for the Cheshire and Gloucester levies, then comes down and sweeps up the pieces.

we'd be a more Nordic country, that's for sure, so the eurozone wouldn't be such a nuisance.:mad:

Wasn't William's invasion delayed by storms in the Channel? If so, you could just have those storms last a week or so longer, so at Hastings William faces a larger, much better rested, army.

It's interesting to read all this talk of Harold Godwinson. I know a guy who claims to be descended from him (He has yet to prove it).
