You have one sniper shot (.50 caliber). What do you do to cause the most casualties or change history? BE REALISTIC. Please don't say "shoot an airplane that would then crash into the white house and trigger a nuclear explosion." Damage will be defined as destruction of physical structures as well as human casualties.
Turning the question on its head somewhat! In 1916 the Australian Imperial Force had left Gallipoli and were sent to France, where they fought their first disastrous battle at Fromelles on the Somme. Opposite them on the line were German soldiers from Bavaria. One of these soldiers was one Adolf Hitler! How different might the world have been if one Australian soldier had aimed a little better and finished off Adolf in 1916?
I have an answer from the past. This 1 bullet eventually killed millions:
Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria
