If you could Erase One Event from History, What would it be? - Jinu - Oct 17, 2024
Hello everyone,
Let’s dive into a thought-provoking discussion! If you had the power to erase one event from history, which event would you choose and why?
Think about the potential impacts it could have on the present and future. Would it be a war, a political decision, or perhaps a natural disaster?
I’m curious to hear your thoughts and the reasoning behind your choices!

This one is deep, and hard to answer because of the butterfly effect. Also removing the event doesn't completely stop it from happening, just delaying it being done by someone else later and even worse.
I'd be very curious to see a world where WWI never happened though. That set the events for WWII, the Cold War, and other conflicts.

Probably the European colonization of the America's, or WW1.

COVID. I had so much money saved up for 2020 to go around Europe to music festivals, but covid came and I spent the money on dumb shit.

Figuratively speaking it would be interesting if WWII never happened. By stopping it this could have prevented horrors of events like the Holocaust and atomic bombings. However, even if WWII never happened that doesn't mean a tragic event like the Holocaust couldn't still happen.
