Changing the past would change the future in ways you don't necessarily intend. A good example is that changing major events before your own birth would prevent you from being born. Furthermore, even if you could "prevent" something from happening, you didn't stop it from happening the first time. What I mean is that, for example, if you could stop the Holocaust from happening, well, it already did happen in some sense, so there were already real people who went through a real experience of suffering and death, so even if you could reset history so that it doesn't happen, you still can't really prevent it from happening "the first time". Also, in the case of something like the Holocaust, if you could prevent it from happening, then in the new present it never happened, so no one is vigilant about preventing it from happening again.
I would let the past be as it is, and focus on the present. The one history you can change is the history of the future.

If we changed anything in history it would completely f**k up the world we live in today, if it wasn't for Hitler (I can't believe I'm saying this). We wouldn't know anything about the stages of pregnacy, Hitler was 1. Ahead of him time, and 2. Went about things the wrong way. But we owe a lot to him for the world we live in now-a-days. If America wasn't discovered, we might still believe that the earth is flat, we could all fall off the edge and sea-monsters, etc exist and the Earth is in the middle of the universe... etc etc etc. So I wouldn't change anything.

I would change Contstantine's adoption of his version of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire. This corrupted the teachings of one of the greatest Sacred Messengers the world has ever known, and twisted them into an excuse for the conquest and slaughter of many tribes and nations all over the world. The loss of European aboriginal religions, the enslavement of Africans, the genocide of aboriginal peoples of the now-USA, Hitler's holocaust against the Jews, Gypsies, et al, are all abuses on a grand scale perpetuated in the name of the White Christ. On an individual scale, child and spouse abuse is rife in the most fundamentalist Christian homes. Thru all this, Jesus wept, and weeps still.

Oh, don't have to think twice on that one...The victory of the Roman Church over the Celtic Church. We would have a completely different world today if the Celtic Church would've won the debates between Augustine and Pelagius, and won the power. My guess is there'd be not only married priests, but women in the priesthood! (And a hundred other potential outcomes too numerous to mention.) ;-)

The fall of the Spanish Empire, it just seems that they were on a roll to discovering new things all the time, they were always inventing things and at one time was known as "bringing light to the world through knowledge", i think had they not been overthrown, they would have been a very powerful country, and perhaps if they werent overthrown we would have been farther along with scientific discoveries and the thirst for knowledge would have been greater.

If not for the Depression, creating an imbalance of power and money in the world, perhaps atrocities like anti-semitism and World War II could have been prevented. So, I guess I'm saying that a revision of banking procedures and the buying of penny stocks could have prevented the fall of stock exchanges, depression, and war.

i don't whether i could change the event but would have like queen Elizabeth the 1st to have married the man she actually loved and been happy . her council was a great part in her life which overall made her decision on dying being the virgin queen. and why well she was faith full once to her true love i think she could deserve a second chance with him.

The prevention of World War II. If the Treaty of Versailles had been done right, the League of Nations might have actually created peace.
