What historical event would you change and how?

So if you could change one historical event/moment what would it be and how would you pull it off without getting caught?

I would alert the cops to the sniper on top of the book depository building about to take down JFK then walk quietly away back to 2012.

How would that have stopped the ****er in the grassy knoll from shooting JFK?

Sent Bertie Ahern on an trade mission to New York on September 11th 2001.

I'd go back with a warning about the titanic crashing, and bring evidence. No crappy movie, yay! Oh, and a bunch of people wouldn't die.

FloatingVoter

I'd have turned up sober for the leaving cert.

squod

Would have persuaded Mars to keep the name 'Marathon bar' .

SafeSurfer

I would have persuaded Mark Chapman to take at least a couple of shots at Yoko.

Chuck Stone

I'd prevent the plantation of Ulster.

I would've alerted the cops about Jack Ruby.

Senna

Probably should choose some horrific event that could save suffering or death, but i'd choose Henry's handball.

I'd change the "treaty of Versailles", less draconian measures against Germany could have prevented Hitler (or any other extremest) from taking power.

I would have stopped Diarmud McMurrough from inviting strongbow over here. Imagine all the lives and hassle it would have saved. The traitorous ba$tard.

He wasn't on top of the building.

Also, what do you think would have changed as a result of your actions? Any clue about JFK's politics and how the world today would have been different?

Fast forward to modern day.

Greek bailout sorted.

But surely €10 would be ten euro? Don't you mean go back in time with a cash or barter equivalent of €10 and ask him to save that up and as inflation takes hold on it would suffice to bail the Greeks out today?:P

kowloon

I'd go back to the big bang on a mission to stop it. Save countless needless deaths it would.
