1592 Japan ISOT to 793 AD Europe.
Can Christian Europe survive a double onslaught of the Vikings and Toyotomi Hideyoshi?
I guess not and we might see majority of Western Europe being occupied by the Japanese. Can Christianity survive in this world?

January 2021 Sweden ISOT to January 1939. What does a neutral Sweden do to help win ww2? Sweden is not a military superpower but it does have 100 Leopard 2A5s and 71 Jas-39 Gripen fighters together with numerous modern artillery and anti tank systems. A single well positioned platoon of Leopard 2s can more or less wipe out an entire armored regiment of the Wehrmacht. By January 1939 war is pretty much unavoidable. Swedish information might convince the allies to mobilize a few months earlier but still they're too weak to invade Germany. Defence is thus the only option. Does it make sense for Sweden to help Poland? Swedish armed forces en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Armed_Forces

2020 Pakistan ISOT to 1940, joins the Axis. The nukes will be a problem for the Allies. That also means part of the Raj is split. Now the Axis will have the advantage once Islamabad starts sharing its nukes to Nazi Germany.

I totally forgot the nukes... And the fact the Pakistani government isn't a rational actor. OTL showed they supported the Taliban, sheltered Bin Laden, and even turns to China despite being an ally of the United States. I wonder how the UK will react that the Raj is now split between UT and nuclear-armed Pakistan next to its crown jewel. Even worse is that Pakistan is part of Axis. It has the most modern army and air force. I'm sure the Germans would want to see those nukes, F-16s, and JF-17s.

Maybe you would see UT Swedish forces to reinforce Norway or Denmark. The Leopard 2A5s and JAS-39s would defeat what Germans have, but these will be vulnerable once ammo and spare parts run out.

What about sending the Leopards and Gripens to defend France? There they have the highest chances of actually turning the tide.

The Swedish also need to defend their country and neighboring Scandanavian countries from German attacks. I need to look up on what Sweden has for air or naval transport to bring to France because their priority would be to defend from DT German forces. I'm still wondering if the Swedish Navy can sink all of the KM. The Swedish submarines are not to be underestimated. One of their SSKs "sunk" the USS Ronald Reagan during a military exercise. The Bismarck and the Tirpitz would be a sitting duck!

I wonder what kinds of weapon production can Sweden kickstart between January and September 1939? Making one's own tanks is not an option but perhaps making even steel APFSDS (more than enough to deal with ww2 tanks) should be doable?

I don't think they would be needed in any large number provided information was sent instead and the allies at least listened somewhat. Plus the butterflies from Sweden appearing is going to cause a lot of upsets everywhere and with it making gestures of support for Denmark and Norway Germany is going to have to look at its northern borders. Hitler will of course deny any plans for attacks but the Swedes won't believe him.
The big issue might be if Hitler is disconcerted enough not to occupy the rump Czech state as that was the final trigger than made the western powers accept that war was inevitable and appeasement might linger longer if he doesn't. However given the state of the Nazi economy he's likely to want that gold and also without that he losses a lot of heavy industry and military equipment.

June 6 1989 West Germany ISOT to June 6 1944. Foreign troops are not ISOTed.
Can the new Germany convince the WAllies and the Soviets to stop advancing?

German forces for the Operation Citadel from July 4th 1943 (the day before the operation begins) ISOT to May 4th 1943.
As a consequence the Germans attack a weaker Kursk salient.
What's the outcome?

China and North Korea from June 22nd 1950 to June 22nd 1941.
All Japanese troops present in China and North Korea are transported back to Japan.
Stalin has just gained two new allies - the North Korean troops will rush to occupy the rest of the Korean Peninsula and they will do this successfully.
Japan will surely try to reannex Korea but it might take at least several weeks to launch an invasion of Korea and it will be repulsed by combined Chinese and North Korean forces after which there will be no further attempts of invasion by Japan
Questions 1. Will China and North Korea send troops to help the USSR with Barbarossa? If yes, how much impact will they have? 2. Since the USSR no longer needs to worry about it's eastern border, it may choose to redeploy majority of it's troops stationed there to the west. How much impact on the war will they have?

1953 West Germany ISOT to 1913.
Does ww1 still happen? We now have Germany that is far more advanced technologically than 1913 Germany, yet without an army - the only military units left are those in downtime regions of Imperial Germany that weren't overwritten by the ISOT + US and British troops in West Germany.
What do those units do? Do they pledge allegiance to the new government in Bonn, attempt a coup d'etat or what? How do foreign (mostly US and British) units in Germany do?
