What would you change about history?

[The Wolven League]

Kill Stalin
Kill Hitler
Kill Mao
Kill Theodore Roosevelt
Kill Abraham (biblic)
Kidnap baby Trump and have him adopted my Mexicans

Edit early human DNA so we evolved into werewolves

I love how half of the posts in this thread are basically hit lists

[Imperial Valaran]

Tell Max Barry circa 1999 that he will have a legion of devoted online followers soon. Just to see how he reacts mostly.

I'd prefer other sort of hit lists.

I lead the cccp after stalin and it never collapses but instead becomes a communist utopia

I've have Germany win WW1.

So you'd happily repress your people and starve them?

have fun being killed by Stalin.

how could Germany win the war,besides not going through Belgium, or the schleffin plan not existing because of inflexibility.

Out of both sides, the Germans were still filled with more fighting spirit than the Entente. It wasn't until the Americans showed up that really the Germans finally lost any hope of winning.

The Germans had a series of offensives planned before the Americans had involved themselves, and for some time had been gaining ground, compared to the British and French, who were down to fumes.

so if america didn't join they would've won? that dose make sense, but if Russia didn't join ,say they ignored the conflict, never signed their alliance with France or serbia, and china joined o n the central powers, maybe they would've had a better chance, and if spain had joined, then Spain would be fighting Portugal and france, also, if they move fast enough to snag gibralter they wou d make it a lake for the central powers and have supplies cease to russia.
and I swear your flag reminds me of that one mod.

In 1917, both the British and the French had massive, critical mutinies across the ranks. Over a dozen divisions along the French and many along the British side simply stopped fighting, some went as far as to kill their officers. Had the Germans launched their Spring Offensive of 1918 in 1917, the Germans would have been able to topple any meaningful French resistance and been in Paris within a short while.

This, combined with say, a legit French Socialist revolt at this time would also have been very good for the Germans.

if the mutiny had lasted longer or had led to a march on Paris ,with france out of the war as an outcome, though I bet they would suppress it like the revolts after the french defeat in the franco german war in 1870. and if the mutines had happened earlier of a somme series event happens a year earlier in 1915, would France sue for peace?possibly, but we'll never know.

[Husseinarti]

What would have probably happened was that the French sue for peace, the Germans acknowledge it and leave. They would take some land, but for the most part it would have been a peace-with-honor.

Africa never being colonized, and it being more liberal and socialist.

Go back in time and:

Give the recipe of gun power and the mastery of metalurgy to Mark Antony;
Give the knowledge of steam engine and greek fire to Wang Mang of the Han dyasty;
Give the Inca, Aztecs, and Mayans of the same time frame all of the above;

to see what happens when all the civs meet a few centuries later.

That would be rather disastrous.

Don't worry, if you allow Germany to win WW1, WW2 becomes Socialist France and Britain vs the German and Russian Empires.

If Germany had won in 1918, that'd be a pretty terrible outcome. Ludendorff was basically a military dictator at that point, and he had many of the same racial and occultist inclinations as the Nazis later did. Something tells me the peace deal would not have been any better than Versailles was.

I think Germany winning at the Marne and ending the war in 1914 would be a much better alternative. Then the world might at least have continued in broadly the same way without complete social collapse anywhere.

I'm fairly certain that the German military wouldn't have totally condoned Ludendorff to just suddenly create his own military force, establish concentration camps, etc. Hitler had a very specific series of events that allowed him to do such a thing, namely the collapse of Germany and the near open civil war in the 1920s.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Or the Germans enact something worse than Versailles, like Brest-Litovsk.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Nobody else is curious about what a Mongol victory at Ain Jalut, stabler succession laws, and a longer lived Mongke and Ogedei would have done to Europe and the Middle East, and by extent the world?

I don't think one can really argue about alternative history very effectively, since nobody knows anything for sure. But what you'd have is a military dictatorship run by a fairly unhinged totalitarian ruler with a starving population and a lot of anger at the enemy. I have a hard time imagining that the peace Germany would have imposed on other countries would be any better than Versailles... to be honest it would probably have been worse (if Brest-Litowsk is anything to go by, as The Nuclear Fist pointed out).

I find it hard to see how that sort of setup wouldn't lead to something just as bad as WWII in reality... maybe worse. So that's why I think (if no war is not an option) an early end would be preferable, and only Germany was in a position to end the war early. That way civil societies on both sides could have remained intact. At least until some later war.

Manzikert.

You'd change some town in Turkey? ... I don't understand.

Have you been to Manzikert/Malazgirt recently?

It's a dreary little place badly in need of a sensitive programme of comprehensive urban renewal, starting with a comprehensive litter collection plan. Also, the paths in the local parks could be straighter. Change in Manzikert is therefore well overdue.

Lots of places could use urban renewal.

The other responses to your post don't make sense if you just want some urban renewal.
