I'd grab one of my dumb-ass classmates from when I was in grade school, drag their sorry asses back to World War 2, and show them how retarded they are for thinking everybody who was German was an automatic Nazi.

NEWSFLASH! THEY WEREN'T!

Whether it be real or not I'd love to see the battle of Troy as portrayed in Homers Iliad, not the movie starring Brad Pitt.

There's a few books in which something similar happens and it just made the thing seem more real to me. Ilium and Olympos - Dan Simmons, does this really well, but it gets a bit far fetched at the end of the book, with several timelines clashing and just making a mess of things with Hector making a pact with Achilles and they go off killing greek Gods while spaceships and whatnot kill everything else.

I personally would rather observe the battles and not get killed.

[DarthRacoon]

I'd want to see one of the Third crusade city sieges, those would be freaking awesome.

Inb4 Thermopylae.

From... grade school?
You were like 10. 10 year old's believe anything, no need to persecute him for that.

^^ on what? His suicide? You do know he killed himself by poisoning himself right?

And I would want to witness the Hundred Years War, just because battles during that era (900 A.D.-1500A.D.) always interested me.

[TheTrooper5]

Agincourt.

Medieval battles are always far more interesting

[Conspiracy3]

I would like to see cape ecnomus just because it was the biggest battle in world history fought when the world's population was a small fraction of what it is today. The number of men in that battle were a significant percentage of the populations of their nations.

He bit the cyanide capsule and shot himself in the head at the same time.

[Sidorio]

The battle of the Somme, because I heard they had a huge gangbang afterwards.

[SymbolCymbal]

i wanna see the battle of thermopile, only about 10,000 greeks vs hundreds of thousands of persians, it would be awesome to se that fight

The only historical accounts of Thermopile were from Greeks who were very biased and just writing as a form of propaganda. Herodotus fudged the numbers.

[DudeGoofyGuy]

I want to go back and see Ash fight Sabrina, that was an awesome episode.

[gizmo12345]

id go back and stop light from going to the warehouse

cookie for reference get

[andhination]

It'd just be silly to want to partake in a battle. What guarantee is there you won't die?

As for observing, I don't think I'd want to. All that death... I don't think I could handle it mentally...

[boloneyman]

The Battle of Cannae would be my first pick. Hannibal destroyed the Romans, killing 50,000 in men in a matter of hours. I would like to watch the entire Second Punic War, Hannibal is my favorite person to study.

I'd also like to see the Battle of Marathon and the Battle of Thermopylae since they are arguably two of the most famous battles in history.

Hannibal was quite an interesting was hero. I am interested in him too. As for me I would like to see The Battle of Bunker Hill so I could see the talent (or lack there of) that beat the British.

[TheReno]

Personally Id like to see the Battle of Tours. I would just love to see those slim muslim blades fall to the mighty axe.

[Tribalfusion-X]

Saladin VS The english, definately.
Also, hannibal's conquest through Rome and such. I like how he proved the point that one man can make a difference.
Joanne of Arc would have probably been fantastic as well, but I'm sure there haven't been any epic battle's I'd want to see past her time.
