    What If? ROB lets you sic a terminator on a historic figure of your choice

    Anyway, other than Muhammad, I would send Terminator to assassinate Constantine IX Monomachos. I mean, moron disbanded literally the last combat-effective field army of the Empire other than tagma when he dismissed 50 000 troops of the Armenian themes. (EDIT: Or was it Constantine X, I found...

    If you want to remove real causes of World War I, again, the best choice would be eliminating Christopher Columbus (and/or Ferdinand and Isabella) and thus delaying European colonial adventures. Otherwise, I do not really see any way to stop it. That being said, killing Franz Joseph and...

    And there is also the fact that Stalin was out there, just waiting to attack and expand Communism. So even if Hitler wasn't prone to double-dealing and double-crossing people, Stalin may have started WW2 anyway. Fact is, rise of Marxism has to be prevented. Which means either killing Marx and...

    Fact that Hitler and Stalin are to blame doesn't mean that Churchill is innocent as well. World War II, after all, is "merely" an epilogue of World War I, and Hitler in particular was heavily influenced by his experiences in World War I.
