I'd add the Spanish Inquisition to that agenda. But who knows, perhaps the Holocaust might not have ever happened if the Spanish Inquisition never happened. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Time travel thoughts bring up all sorts of hypotheticals...
Might be worth it to sink the Nina the pinta and the Santa Maria Midway across the Atlantic.
If Columbus never made it back to Europe that would have delayed expansionism a good while.
If I could also somehow go to the Americas and provide some interesting artillery to the Eastern coastal tribes that would probably help even more.
There are many ways to stop or deeply alter the Spanish Inquisition, like never getting christianity going, never getting islam going, ensuring the Arabs wipe out all the christian kingdoms of Andalusia, ensuring the Cordoba Caliphate doesn't disintegrate, doing something to both Isabella I of Castille and Ferdinand II of Aragon so they don't get into power.
