So, I remember being asked a historically contextual question. If I could go back in time and kill Hitler, would I do it?
My answer? No. Here's my reasoning. Why can't I... go back in time and help Hitler get into Art School? If he had pursued his dream as an Artist, maybe he'd never go into a political career.
The Nazi Party would have still existed, but they would not have gotten as much support as they did in real history. The Nazi Party got its support because Hitler was extremely charismatic.
But Let's cripple the Nazi Party's chance at gaining power even further. Go to the time where they were discussing the Treaty of Versailles, and... try your best, I guess, to convince them to have all nations take equal blame for World War I? With this, Germany no longer takes full blame for World War I, and they would most likely not be thrown into an economic crisis. The Economic difficulties were one of the many reasons the Nazi Party became so popular.
I don't have a degree in history, so maybe I got some info wrong.

There are two ways to that. One is to prevent the rise of antisemitism (which, mind you, apparently dates all the way back to 3rd century BCE in Egypt), and another is to prevent the existence of a fascist regime in Europe that is as powerful as the Nazi Germany that we saw in our history - a regime powerful enough to organize such a genocide.
It's basically impossible to do the former given all the circumstances against you, so in a sense, the same list still applies. You still have to deal with Nazi Germany (which binds itself to WW2).
