the first mistake: Adam and Eve eating the fruit and bringing sin to the human race.
The destruction of the tower of babel.
If everyone in the world spoke and understood the same language there would be less misunderstandings and wars.
People believing that Hitler would make their lives better and giving him power.
The ratification of the United States Constitution. They should have stayed with the Articles of Confederation.

The loss of the antikythera mechanism.
Some of the writings of the survivors of the destruction of the Great Library of Alexandria and the invasion responsible for that gave hints that many more things, possibly even more important than the Antikythera mechanism, were lost at that time.
I think one of the potentially greatest losses to the world as a whole was the destruction of the great library at Alexandria. All of known and written human knowledge was lost in one sensless act of destruction by barbarians. So that is the one mistake I would correct.
That is the serious answer but those who know me know I also have to have a humorous answer too. So here it is....
I would go back in time and kill that guy Murphy before he passed all those "Murphy's Laws".

- ATTACK A CHALLENGE
Who gets to decide what the "mistake" is? I imagine you ask any religious extremist and he or she would each define the mistake as something different. I truly would like to see all hatred gone from history. But one could proffer without hatred for what is evil or wrong where would good and right be. So I leave this in the hands of God.
