Not really if you actually go through history with a spy glass in the last 100 years you will see the USA is at fault for a lot of the shit. It was American pressure that broke down relations between Britain and Japan, it was American pressure that forced Britain to let go of countries in it's empire and the same for other empires. It was Americas anti imperialism that has led to the shitfest of a world we now live in. It was America that funded and trained the first wave of modern radical muslims, it was Britain that forced civil rights and social justice upon the world. It was America that forced it's belief that mass immigration is wonderful and should be tolerated. Social justice was the virus made in the USA.

>>893358
I am British and therefore can not speak to other empires and would hope Britain would be able to least keep it from delving into a world war as well as averting the USA's involvement.

>>893358
Not particularly but it would be nice to preserve the empires for as long as possible so they can at least develop some of these shit holes that are now just breeding grounds for charity black holes and radical training camps. If the Empires remained then Britain would have remained on top, the USA would have stayed in isolation and thus at it's greatest. Civil rights, social justice and every other vile thing would not have been forced down everyone's throats by American media and American government officials no matter what corner you hide in. A united liberal as fuck Europe would never have been born. America would never have had to go to Vietnam averting the whole hippie liberal spurt that came with it. The waste that was the cold war would never have happened. The middle east would never have gone the way it is. The world would just be better in my opinion as the end of the the European empires would have met a more natural end instead of the forced mess that it was.

With Franz Ferdinand assassinated, Austria sent an ultimatum to Serbia. Germany, Russia, Britain and France all wanted to diplomatically handle things, but Austria did not. Austria's emperor and military leadership wanted to go to war with Serbia and did not seek a diplomatic solution. Every attempt was made by all the major European powers, including Germany, to peacefully resolve the crises except for Austria.

>>
>>893248
Tell them to execute Stalin, Lenin, and Trotsky when they have the chance and to destroy all communist literature and teachings. Make everyone agree to intervene in communist coups/revolutions if any do occur.

Then manufacture a war with Russia and the Ottomans on one side and everyone else on the other. Once the eastern powers lose, get Russia to release Poland, Ukraine, Finland, and the Baltic states in exchange for free use of warm ports and give Serbia a bit of Ottoman clay with the rest of the Balkans and most of Anatolia going to Greece. Also make Russia not intervene in any European wars for 50-100 years.

Warn everyone not to intervene when the Austro-Hungarian Empire starts to break up in a civil war. And warn them about the black hand.

Then tell them to invest in sending more europeans to the colonies to reverse-white genocide the Africans. Also convince them to invest heavily in converting the muslims.

I would also try to get the French to declare war on the Germans to reclaim Alance-Lorraine. Once they lose (because no Russia + blood & iron) install either a Bonaparte or Orlean to the throne.

Private Enterprise actually existed under Lenin. And he formed a police state that was pretty much comparable to Czarist Russia, so it's hard to say that he was the reason things turned out Totalitarian, because he was a man of Imperial Russia.

Stalin took shit to that hellish level when he collectivized the property. That was perhaps one of the greatest tragedies in human history. But he felt it necessary because the farmers would've inevitably rebelled against the regime, so he had to disarm them by taking their property.

Okay. No more talk of this shit. People get the wrong idea when I explain Communism because of opportunistic red baiting.

7. Push strong anti-nationalistic policies on occupied territories.
8. Support anti-colonial movements all over the World, cut of BE from India and other overseas territories. Beat Japan, Balkanize China, unite Latin America under anti-US slogans.
9. Create communism ideology: all people are brothers, but nationalism, capitalism and religion separate us.

Kill every single Jew in the world, do it swiftly and mercilessly. Shamefully many innocents would die but in the end it would save the world of communism, cultural-marxism, modern liberalism and all the destruction these
idealogies have caused and are causing.

Tell them to be ever mindful of their ethnicity and cultures, and do everything within their power to keep their countries ethnically or racially homogeneous. This would mean that most US blacks would have to be killed or deported too.

The death of the Jews butterflies away WWII and brings peace to post-WWI Europe, and lets Europe and the US lead the world's future unhindered without every having to worry about internal strife like we are now with this ISIS bullshit.

Stop WW1, accelerate formation of EU. Europe becomes a technocratic superpower. Wage war on imperial Russia and leave Russia as its modern day borders while absorbing the baltics, poland, finland, belarus, ukraine etc. Maintain colonial empire. This European Hegemony will be able to oppose the USA for many decades. Russia as a rump state will never attain super power status and will be ruled by pro European puppets anyway.
China would become powerful maybe now in this time frame but it would take them forever to industrialize starting in 1900. Without the Soviet and US shilling at the UN europe would still run Africa & Asia. Except China and Japan

America would practice Monroe Doctrine and that would be it. Maybe a budding Japan challenges America in the Pacific. But still, in this scenario, Europeans could theoretically rule the entire world into the 21 century. Instead we got ZOG'd into a government that is run by lobbies.

Green: EU
Red: Eu Colonies
Brown: Imperial russian puppet satellite
Turkey: T*rk containment zone
Saudi kingdom: Sunni containment zone
Iran: Shia containment zone
Afghanistan: Free fire zone
China: independent, china must grow larger etc.

Britain: Annul all treaties with Belgium, be wary of both the French, the Russian and of course the Germans. Work to strengthen the size of the British Army as well as the technological and doctrinal sway of the Royal Navy, begin to give home rule and indigenization of the British Empire, and encourage a Imperial British Uniculturalism in places like Malaya, India, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Burma, that unites disparate tribes, groups and factions.

Make sure to make the lease on Hong Kong's New Territories extended to 2997.

Russia: Begin to devolve more powers to the Duma. Have the Tsar adopt the power and role of a US President - as the Chief Executive of the Russian Empire but also give power to the Russian Prime Minister. Allow Socialists like Kerensky into government and begin a industrialization and national reform program - specifically in the cities.

USA: Enforce Civil Rights for Blacks in the South, integrate the military and develop the Navy.

I'd say absolutely fucking nothing, because I don't want everyone I know now to get erased from history. That's the problem with time travel: if you do change the timeline you've essentially murdered everyone you ever loved, since most of them probably won't be born. In fact, worse than murdered - destroyed their existence completely, past as well as future.

Even if we're just talking hypothetically, why would world leaders listen to me? I'm certainly not going to be able to get any of the absolute monarchs to abdicate and instantiate democracy, and if I tell everyone that a war is coming, I'll just end up sparking an even bigger arms race as everyone tries to get their military ready for 1914.

So what I'd do is go to the UK, wheedle my way into being appointed grand commander of the army and navy. Then I'd spend the next fourteen years building an actual army for the UK to fight with - the available fighting force it actually had in 1914 was around a hundred thousand men (with about another hundred thousand garrisoning the colonies), which was the same as the limit put on Germany's army in the humiliating treaty of Versailles. Needless to say, while I'm doing this I'll rip out the command structure of the army and navy and replace them with people who didn't get their ideas about warfare from boys' adventure novels.

Then when war breaks out it should be a simple matter to inflict a series of crushing defeats on Germany and secure Britain's predominant place in world affairs, ensuring that the Pax Britannica continues into the 20th century (and hopefully beyond). The level of ignorance of the commanders at the beginning of the war can't be overstated; anyone from today with a half-decent knowledge of the period could do better, and I personally have more than a half-decent knowledge. As long as I pay particular attention to seizing the middle east from the Ottomans, I should be able to use the oil revenues to make the Empire's position unassailable.

Proceeds to massively alter WW1

Did you guys miss the point of WW1 and WW2 entirely?

I'd probably be negating my own existence with some kind of paradox, but I'd just give them (the British government, since I'm British) a textbook covering 1900-1945 then say I know the next 100 years of history after that so they still need me for shit

Instantly become an advisor to the highest echelons of government, became part of the aristocratic elite

Keep Britain neutral in WW1, but use future knowledge to ensure France can fight Germany to a standstill (eternal anglo.strat) and thus conclude a lasting peace treaty, then begin work on European Economic Community so we can get a permanent peace in Europe going and entrench liberal democracy.

I imagine without WW1 the British Empire might go on for a while longer. Who knows what would happen in Russia, there'd probably still be a revolution but I'd try and ensure the bolsheviks didn't take control in a second revolution.

Kinda hard to tell what would happen at that point or what my goals would be. I'd probably strive to create the foundations for a united earth and post-nationalism. Maybe use my knowledge of the future to create a secret organisation that works towards that end, with the brightest minds and technology decades ahead of anyone else.

I'd nip bolshevism in the bud by introducing social democracy and such like. I'd definitely nip wahhabism and all the shit we have to deal with today in the bud by ensuring nothing like the sykes-picot happens. I'll keep all those arab tribes nice and disunited, and self-ruling. Or alternatively all in one supra-arab state that would ideally be a secular democracy.

Yeah, Germany was especially diplomatic when annexing neutral Luxembourgh and attacking neutral Belgium.

Claim aliens are going to invade Earth and humanity must come together and stop fighting and subjugating one another if we hope to fight them off. Along with this start decolonization, or at the very least teach integrate the native peoples better so they can participate in government.

Teach people how to make penicillin and warn them not to abuse it to help delay the inevitable development of drug resistant bacteria.

Warn everyone of the dangers of fascism, militant Islam, and modern banking and corporate practices.

Encourage conservationism so as to prevent some extinctions. I want to at the very least save the Tasmanian tiger.

Try to get people to perform more missionary work, but also to avoid destroying native culture as much as possible. Obviously somethings got to give, but make sure to at least try,
>>
I would tell the Russians to focus on defending the Black Sea and give up as much of the Balkans as possible especially Serbia. I would tell the Austrians their army is weaker than they think and I would tell the Germans to knock it off with the ship building and give up goals of empire.

>>893761
Building it wouldn't be that much of a problem(it's even relatively googlable), the problem lies in calculating proper timing with triggering explosives meant to start fusion and make a mechanism able to execute all this shit.
And it has to be all-mechanical because vacuum tubes were too unreliable, delicate and power-hungry(plus they were invented in 1906, not 1900), relays were not precise enough and transistors were going to be invented 50 years from now. First nuclear bombs were mechanical, but re-creating that mechanisms will require knowledge which isn't by any mean common, since nowdays we're using microprocessors(PLC's, or KNX or other systems like that) instead of all this shit.

That's of course outside of the problem of getting materials to develop a bomb like that. While Germans could theoretically buy entire hills made of Uranium from Belgium and A-H(Bohemia to be specific), such purchase would be highly suspicious(therefore intelligence networks would try to get to know everything about it) and in fact there was a time when they've also had access to those, during WW2 but it was still not enough to actually build working reactor(let alone bomb).

Uranium was used to make green glass, sure but it wasn't excavated too intensively because... I mean what's exactly the purpose of it? There were cheaper means to get the same results, and you're not going to fool me that German government somehow decided to manufacture millions of tons of green glass because ???????????
>>
>>893248
I will make sure that leaders of various powers will believe me about what happen (like giving them letter containing information about what happen but they can open it after war). Will wait until war is over. And now I tell directly to leaders of victors what happen with their ideas of peace and how shit it was.
>>
>>903855
So basically my point stands?
>>
>>903859
Yes, with the correction that you could do it if you were really into certain niche and sometimes outdated engineering-related topics which include everything from control theory, ballistics, chemical engineering, prospecting, mechanics etc. most of which can be found in very specific(and often old) books.

So it was possible but it's unlikely that you can find team of 100 people nowadays who would know how to develop it together, let alone that some random /pol/lack would do it by himself.
>>
>The problem lies in calculating proper timing with triggering explosives meant to start fusion and make a mechanism able to execute all this shit.

That's the later, more complicated form a nuclear weapon. The simpler, first used form was the gun type. Basically just shooting a small chuck of Uranium into a bigger chunk of Uranium, and that's not too complicated.

>>903873
This isn't true, just at all really. iirc, during a congressional hearing, someone took a group of college students, told them to make a bomb with the given materials (sans Uranium/Plutonium), they did, and the guy took it in with him to prove how easy it was.

You seem to think it's more complicated than it actually is. And in 1900, the THEORY is what's important, once you dedicate a group of smart people to something you KNOW is possible, they'll get it done.
>>
>>893248
I would just show them what is about to happen in the 20th century. Think about it, by the 1950's, basically all regimes that were in power in 1900 were BTFO some way or another:
>AH destroyed
>Germany defeated twice
>Russia and Eastern Europe ruled by communists
>France humiliated by Germany, lost colonies
>British Empire falling apart
>Italy became fascist, failed to create an empire, got defeated and occupied by allies

Every European state that existed in 1910 would be better off if they didn't start WW1, which naturally led to WW2. Having this knowledge they might start to work together to keep up the current system and resolve differences peacefully.
>>
I'd persuade the Kaiser that instead of executing the Schlieffen plan, he should build up a strong defense line along the Rhein and draw most of his forces to the East to combine them with the Austrian army and defeat Russia first, then focus to the Western Front. Also, I'd notify him of the incompetence of the Austrians.
>>
>>903910
You do realise that it all didn't really matter because regardless of the fact that Russia was defeated and lots of very agriculturally worthy land was gained, Germany starved due to naval blockade they couldn't possibly break?

Stop Decolonization in all countries except east-Asia, Canada, Australia, and New Zeland
Severely limit powers given to banking and corporate interests
Tear down patent and copyright system and recreate a system with a heavier focus on the creators and with a much shorter lived duration, say around 5 years of copyright for artistic works, 1/2 years for technological ones and heavily regulate creator-publisher/distributer
Severely reduce the copyright lenght and with heavy penalties for corporate in the creator's work
Cap the world population at 4 billion with a caucasian/east-asian majority of 3.5 billion out of the 4
Caucasians includes Hispanics and Slavs
Do this by forced sterilization
Completely westernize Central and South America, and Africa the same way North America and Australia was westernized
Leave the rest of Asia to east-Asians to fully colonize
Fully integrate what's left of the local populations
Create the United Nations with capital is in a neutral zone, possibly Istanbul, if not there then Rome
UN main members are: US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, China, Japan, and Australia
Slowly tear down national borders and infuse power to the UN
Political union achieved through UN of Earth with capital in Byzantium or Rome as a federal democracy
Absolute internet freedom and human right of access

>>

Yes, but it took the Entente 4 years to starve out Germany. I would advise the that, because Russia is a more fragile state than the rest of the Entente, so if the Central Powers focused more on Russia, they would defeat it faster and maybe without fewer casualties, thus having more manpower for the Western front and not fighting on two fronts. Moreover, if no incidents, like the sinking of Lusitania or the Zimmerman Telegram happened, the USA would have no "legitimate" casus belli to enter the war, which would save a lot of trouble for Germany.
