You don't try to stop it, it was shit and awful wast of life BUT it was an important part of human history. Without it meany of the advances in medicine, materials, electronics, physics, chemistry, economics, philosophy, aviation, mechanics, construction, agriculture, etc.. would not have happened or would have been delayed in development.

If you really have to change something about our history then change the middle ages so that the church/religion never rises to a position that would allow it to hamper the progress of science as it did. Imagine where we would be today if that never happened.
you relise that the church was the sole point of everyones life because life was horrible and the church offered salvation, had the church allowed science to continue it really wouldnt effect the layman, that and with out the crusades we would not have the trading routes which caused the black death which caused the renaissance.
I do realize that. That's why i didn't say get rid of the church altogether because weather you like it or not religion did do some good things back then. However it was when they got too overzealous that things started to go pair shaped. They practically had absolute power and we all know what happens in 99.9% of cases where some one or some organization gains total control don't we. Also the bubonic plague did not cause the Renaissance, it was mealy one of meany things that together accumulated to initiate it.

As soon as Germany start acting up, launch a Nuke at one of their small cities and send a note to Hitler: BACK OFF YEAH

Hmm probably this:

War in Europe
Write a letter to the "big 3" (Clemenceau of France, Wilson of the US and Lloyd George of GB) asking them to make the Treaty of Versailles either more extreme or much Less.
The compromise didn't really work out for anyone.

1. More extreme
Similar to how Germany was divided and controlled by Russia, France, Britain and the USA at the end of WW2, Germany would need to be taken control of by the Allies for a short period before holding free elections after the country was built up enough. Crippling it entirely with reparations would never help anyone. After the Allies pull out they can regularly check in to make sure everything's nice and democratic.


2. Less extreme
By cutting reparations massively and allowing Germany to have an army the Allies would be running a risk that it might fight back but hopefully this would cripple Hitler's campaign as the people of Germany would not see the need for voting Nazi if the state of Germany's economy wasn't so bad. The people didn't want the Weimar Republic because they felt democracy was weak not because they specifically wanted the Nazis (at the start at least). Without negative cohesion the Nazis would have no strong footing with the German people.

It might also help to publish anti-nazi propaganda articles and shipping them to Germany :)



Obviously it would be a bit hard to do all this so a letter would be the best I could do unless I could manage to get involved in GB politics as an advisor.

Kill Kaiser Wilhelm.

There is no WW1; there is no Treaty of Versailles; there is no economic turmoil in Germany; there is no WW2.
And that is the winning post.

stop WWII in as few steps as possible that includes the war in the pacific (Japan, China, USA, and Australia) as well as in europe.
you can do anything that was possible at the time, but only what you as a person could do.
Help the Germans rebuild thier Nation after WW1 instead of just installing a goverment and saying "best of luck with it"!

Find some way of stopping the Wall Street Crash in 1929.

Allie America with Japan and Germany from the outset.
America was dead set to stay out of it, if the British sank that American boat instead of the Germans they would of axied up. Thats what broke Germany exceptional equipment and manufacturing ability just doesn't stack up when your up outnumbered 4 to one.
Thank you for the history lesson I never asked for. I never knew America was dead set on staying out of the war till today. In my 29 years on this earth I have managed to avoid that fact. Thank you for finally setting me straight.

By the way I was being sarcastic. I already knew that.
You have an excellent attitude, and must be a very likable fellow.

1) In WW1, the Germans never let Lenin out of exile. Say he randomly dies. The Bolshevik party never take over, and go into an alliance with more moderate socialists. The Duma runs Russia after WW1. Communism never takes root in Europe.

2)Woodrow Wilson persuades Lloyd George and the French president to offer more moderate terms to Germany with the Treaty of Versallies.

3)Without the fear of Communism, and with Germany better surviving the Great Depression, Hitler never comes to power.

This leaves the remaining axis powers Italy and Japan.

Mussolini would have still come to power however, and would still invade Abyssinia in 1936. If he does anything else though is questionable. He would probably help General Franco come to power in Spain with the Civil War, and maintain the Spanish as allies in order to counter-balance Britain, France and perhaps Germany. However, it's clear which side as the more power and if anything does kick off in Europe it would end with a swift Anglo-French victory.

As for Japan, the British Empire and her Dutch allies easily counter-balance any imperial ambitions Japan may have. Japan would probably still invade China, but it would not get into SE Asia or the pacific. Eventually, the Japanese army would be weakened by a prolonged war with China and would probably eventually withdraw.

A "WW2" of sorts could however happen if Italy+Spain and Japan go into an alliance and agree to attack the British and French Empires simultaneously. While that would be a big war, it wouldn't be anywhere near as severe as WW2. Britain and France would destroy the Spanish and Italian fleets and then make a successful land-invasion in the space of about two years.

Then Anglo-French forces would launch a counter-offensive against Japan in the Far East. The Japanese navy would be tough to beat, but i think it would eventually overwhelmed by the sheer size of Anglo-French navy sent against it. Then it would be a case of starving Japan into a negotiated peace settlement. So you would be looking at a major war, but a war not near as destructive as WW1 or WW2, but lasting around the same time length as WW2.

Convince Hitler to not attack the Soviet Union and to be friendly and fair towards the occupied areas. Convince Churchill to join forces with Germany.

This should do it.
