I'm looking for specific and non obvious answers. Give me something visceral, rid the world of a figure or nation you hate. Preserve a culture you adore. It doesn't have to make sense either, you are basically god here.
What I mean is don't just say you'd get rid of imperialism or colonialism bc no shit
Personally I would make it so that the Americas are never discovered by the old world and every would be conquistador (especially cortez and pizarro) explodes.
This is fair lol, I do it all the time no worries. Obviously I wouldn't actually do this if I had the power to but I am really mad about the spanish rn. Regardless, while I don't believe conquest is inherent to human nature, I find it hard to believe any other outcome was likely given the difference in power and systems in place. However despite that my biggest issue is disease. I don't want them meeting because it would be devastating for one group or the other no matter what. I am also very curious to see how society would have developed in the isolated Americas. I wonder how different and how similar they would have been to us.
Also I am not sure how this would prevent communism long term. Sure it would slow things down but its shouldn't be impossible no?
Fair enough I guesss
You need a global economy, interconnected with lots of people spreading technology and ways of organizing and capital, et cetera.
In fact, at a bare minimum, you probably need the potato to spread throughout the world. I don't think the economic and technological development for capitalism, and later to socialism, is possible without potatoes.
