If you could travel back in time, become a leader of a country and change the course of history, where would you go?
I would go back to 1988, become German Emperor and create a proto-EU, and prevent the world wars

I'd remind Suleiman to bring cannons to Vienna and then I'd team up with the Poles before the eternal Anglo/Germs can backstab them and carve up Europe between us.
Then I'd convert the continent to Islam by the blade.
If the world wars were in 1988 than
Where have I been

I would go back to 1953 and stop Erdogan from taking over the Holy Roman Empire.

Why would you do that?
The collapse of the European powers was a net benefit for all of humanity just like the Mongol sacking of Baghdad was for the Western world. It's for the greater good OP.

I would go back to the 1970s and prevent the Finno-Korean Hyperwar.
>>3100872
how was it a net benefit?
most of the developed countries in the world were destroyed.
so much industry layed to waste, so many intellectuals and scientists murdered.
World Wars threw mankind back by like 50 years

I would travel back to 2084 and overthrow the JFK Hologram that started World War IIII

1500s somalia. I'd tell the adal sultanate of the incoming Portuguese who will side with the ethiopians in the adal-abyssinian war. I'd give them the technology to beat Portugal, so the horn of africa would be united under one culture.
I just want to see how that would affect the scramble for africa if the east muslim states were more connected. A big reason for sudan being colonized while ethiopia remained independent was that britain made alliances with ethiopia who would send in forces to help with the mahdist wars. Ethiopia gained muslim territory in the east(harrar) while britain controlled the nile. Britain also sent them a lot of training and weapons in their war with italy who was looking to carve out piece of britians sphere of influence in the region for themselves.
But if there were no ethiopia and the muslims all banded together what would it look like? Would britain feel it's worth the money and effort or would they just quit trying to take east africa. Would italy find it harder to conquer the horn of africa even though britain wouldn't be there to help?

Ah, so this is NOT an intentional shitpost.
Super LARP tier: go back and hold Alexander's empire together
Far more plausible tier: go back and help the early Americans not starve so much

Travel back to 1862 and replace Jefferson Davis as the President of the CSA, make sure that Special Order 191 reaches it's destination and is never found by the Union, I'd also make sure Stonewall Jackson doesn't get mortally wounded at Chancellorsville and survives to command the armies at Gettysburg, telling him to not give Meade's army any time to build defences after the first day's victory and to avoid Pickett's Charge completely.
