A strange, ephemeral being awakens you in your sleep and presents you a gift.
You may choose any war in history, and alter the outcome of it's most critical battle. You would essentially be choosing to make the losers of a war the winners.
You retain your memories and existence if the alteration would threaten them. The world would change, but you cannot influence that change, only the war. What war do you choose? Bonus, which battle?
Hardmode: No WWI, WWII, American Civil War, or Vietnam.
Anons, feel free to postulate the outcome of other anon's answers.

Battle of al-Qādisiyyah 636.

The Roman Civil War of the early 300s.
Constantine loses and is killed at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. Christianity remains one of many religions in Europe instead of becoming the state religion.

How is that possibly more important than stopping the tyranny of the USA from developing or christianity from becoming the dominant western religion?

The Franco-Prussian war. France wins that and Germany as we now it doesn't exist.

Because the US is the best thing that ever happened to humanity, and the consequences of eliminating Christianity are unclear.

depends on what the terms of peace would be, if they didn't stamp out Rome completely it would rise back up because romulus didn't kill remus for this shit
assuming carthage just becomes the de-facto ruler of the sea, civilization would focus much more heavily on the coast of the mediterranean, the inner european peoples wouldn't be very disturbed relatively speaking. over time, this may end up resulting in gallic and germanic kingdoms that preserved it original germanic and gallic cultures.
the result would be an extremely diverse western europe, as different is as welsh is from english across borders.
