Okay Jow Forums, you get to go back in time to any period in history and give 1(ONE) piece of modern military technology to a country of your choosing, who do you give it to and why
That really only means one thing, so one firearm, one aircraft, one nuclear bomb or whatever

I'm pretty sure OP meant one piece as in one single design.
Obviously, you'd need to give the Confederates at least a few hundred sets of 117s and batteries to be distributed at least to every brigade, if not every regiment.

I'd give the Swiss a minuteman ICBM during WWII. See how neutral they really are.

>im sure they'd figure out how to improve it fast
Romans were an example of governmental organization and a monetarily driven society against almost an entire world of disorganized barbarians. They weren't necessarily more inventive
They already did. What a boring opinion.
They only had it near the end of the war. What if the 8th AF had a bomber capable of carrying a Ju-88's weight in bombs, couldn't be reliably intercepted, and was fitted with ground mapping radar from the start?
I'd give the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1914 Iskender Missiles.
What if they were given a B-52 instead

I guess the idea would be that they'd be able to go full soviet, reverse engineer it and put it into mass production 7-8 years early. WW2 era (lack of) knowledge of materials science and metallurgy would prevent mass production of B52s and B1bs.
Most bang in a single element miltech wise would probably be an Arleigh Burke, or Type 45 I think. I give it 2 days to destroy the Kriegsmarine, then a week to sail to the pacific and smash the IJN. Even if you counted the missiles and helicopter as seperate tech it'd still be able to do all of that with the radar controlled 5" gun.
It sure would like the Hood and the Pearl Harbour fleet.
A year into WW1, StG-44 to the German General Staff
Give von Kluck and von Below a history book about the fuck up at the Marne and win the first WW1 by not leaving open a massive gap for the French to attack while hunting retreating Frenchmen. Also dismiss von M*ltke before modifying the Schlieffen plan.

>a radar controlled 5in gun could sink the IJN
Fuck off, idiot. How the hell can a projectile so small (and in such relatively insufficient numbers) take down, for instance, the six carriers of Kido Butai? That's a hell of a lot of planes for 1 5in gun and two CIWS to take down. Not to mention land-based aircraft, other carriers, and of course their massive surface fleet which could turn the ocean around the thing into torpedo soup. Now, it could have all but guaranteed swift US victory in a variety of battles, but not "smashed the IJN" like you said.

An American 5 inch gun would cut through the Yamato like a hot knife through butter due to the inferior workmanship of Japanese ships.
Ok and?
theyll work it out.
I give the founding fathers the AR15 in exchange for much more strict writing on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 10th Amendments, an 11th Amendment that makes the states entirely beholden to the Bill of Rights and a 12th Amendment that would nullify any future attempts at using an interstate commerce clause as a catch-all "lol we can do whatever the fuck we want."
To be fair, the quality of their steel was a constant problem for Japan during the war. For example the Germans gave the plans for their rocket powered interceptor, the Me-163 Komet to the Japanese and they tried to copy it with their Mitsubishi J8M, but they never were able to reproduce a combat ready copy of the German rocket engine, because they couldn’t produce a high quality steel that could have sustained the temperatures.
When they built the Yamato and the Musashi, they collected scrap metal, including old bells from temples and farming equipment to melt and make a pretty wonky steel out of that and the performance of the Yamato’s armor when tested in combat shows that it wasn’t good.
Something to make Germany win WW1, a modern tank maybe?

ummm I think if you are referring to letting whites know , I think they did.
Romans stole most of their technology from the Etruscans from memory.

Let's say that the Aztecs use it to maximum effect and kill a heap of Spanish Conquistadors , including Cortes , I think you are safe in assuming that an enraged Spain sends more men to kill the Aztecs and take their shit , once the Maxim runs out of ammo , the Spanish have a chance at learning from it and potentially having more built and working by the early 19th century.

The BMPT "Terminator" and the T-90M to Russia in the First Chechen War. Despite how awful their command was, atleast the casualties wouldn't be as concerning when you got >a weapon to surpass metal gear.
But a competent General Staff would be essential too.
The MG42 in 1902 , would be a better choice.
you need to be able to give them smokeless powder and primer technology , not to mention light years of metallurgical technology.

>.t historian specializing in the pacific war
Well you should probably invest more time in the basic mechanics of naval combat and fire control because CIWS and DP 5" on a modern warship would shred WW2 era fighters and precise radar fire controlled 5" with their high fire rate would annihilate bridge crew and fire directors on battleships making them combat ineffective way before the burke was even spotted, let alone ranged in.
Look at the sinking of the Bismarck if you don't believe me, the citadel was never pentrated yet the second it took superficial damage it was combat ineffective.
A modern warship would have massive strategic intel advantage over it's adversary as well as speed and effective firepower. The IJN would not be able to launch a single aircraft within 100 NM of the burke without it knowing and would not be able to fly a single aircraft within 5 NM without it coming under accurate 5" AAA fire.
because of it's combined sonar and radar advantage a burke could wade right into tokyo fucking bay and start shelling the national diet if it wanted to. That's how good it's electronics are and how loud and slow Japanese ships, subs and planes were. (good for the time, but modern tech is literally beyond space age compared to what they had then)
I'd have way too much fun with this, my top 5 though
