>WW2

You just go back and stop the Archduke from being assassinated.

>>2978098
that was the trigger for ww1, not the cause. If it weren't for that assassination, Germany would have eventually found another crisis to escalate.

Everything that happened prior to first single cell life on Earth, as well as any following meteor impact.

Not necessarily. Europe and the Ottoman Empire were ruled by particularly inept leaders at that time. I'm not denying that some war wouldn't have happened, but I doubt it would be anything as large and horrific.

If the past is malleable how do you decide that an event is historically inevitable?

>>2978539
I suppose you're right, even the meteor that killed the dinosaurs could've missed Earth if our planet was formed in a way that its orbit or speed or mass was just different enough to dodge it. In the end, I suppose everything right after the Big bang could've turned out differently.

How was the Norman Conquest of Sicily inevitable?

America becoming a superpower

The creation of the Bible, or any Bible.

>>2978581
aka everything is 'inevitable,' causal interactions of particles at the beginning of the universe determine all future events.

>>2978822
Does that also mean that time travel would also be predetermined?

>>2978047
Static events gated by technological progress and desire to perform them. Here are some examples:

Discovering fire
Learning ancient mathematics to figure things like the size of the planet out
Discovering the new world
Creating new forms of government like a democracy
The development of trade networks, or an economic system in general as kingdoms grew in power and size
The development of the wheel, ships, the taming of horses to make travel easier and more efficient

Extrapolating about more specific things related to our time line in history as inevitable is foolish and impossible.

>>2978830
yes. it also means you can't go back to a time before the time machine was invented.
