The expansion of Europe’s reach over the world in the 1500s and 1600s. Or at least the transatlantic slave trade. I would not exist, but a LOT of suffering would be prevented.
There’s a book called The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson that kind of explores this idea. It’s an alternate history book where the black death kills 99% of the European population instead of about a third, and the world progresses essentially without any European people. It’s really good!

Which I believe would then create a paradox, because who’s going to stop the transatlantic slave trade if you don’t exist?
That depends on the kind of time travel we are dealing with. And as no information about that was provided… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
