I wouldn't change history. It has brought us here now. If we change history, what will happen now? Will we be all dead? we dunno...we might not even be able to survive anymore.

never would, because then we would never learn from our mistakes, and it would just happen later on (what you were trying to provent).

problem 1: history repeats itself all the time

Hiroshima and Nagasaki (assuming, of course, WWII would have ended similarly). It's easy to second guess history, though.

While arguably an awful thing, Hiroshima and subsequently Nagasaki ended a war that could have continued unchecked for years.

Agreed, thus my qualifier :)

I would take back our involvement with the Vietnam War. We really didn't have to be there and we, the united states, were in direct threat. Many of our soldiers got wounded and died and because the citizens opposed the war all the soldiers were frowned upon.

The inception of censorship in the media. America should be much more liberal.

I wouldn't. Every little thing has some sort of an effect on everything else. If I so much as sneezed in the past I could theoretically stop someone from existing, and if they didn't exist, then their kids wouldn't exist, and so on and so forth until one little thing makes a huge impact.

Also for everyone who says to stop WWII, what would be the effects of that? All of us probably would not exist right now, and the world would be a lot different. WWII changed the world drastically, as do all major political events. Simply stopping them from happening would have an adverse effects on today's society.
