JavaScript: Modify last history of browser

Question

How I can modify last URL of browser history ?

Example:

If currently user is on a specific page or URL, say: /page3
Because of some functionality (error handled), the user goes to /page1.
In the context of page /page1, if user clicks on browser's back button, I want to redirect the user to /page2 instead of /page3.

How can I achieve this using JavaScript, jQuery or AngularJS?

in http://example.com/page3 add the few codes from the following link... this is not the exact answer... but looks like it will help you

function goBack() {
    window.location.hash = window.location.lasthash[window.location.lasthash.length-1];
    //blah blah blah
    window.location.lasthash.pop();
}

window.onbeforeunload = function (evt) {
    goBack();
    history.pushState("http://example.com/page2", document.title, window.location.pathname);
//  var message = 'Are you sure you want to leave?';
//  if (typeof evt == 'undefined') {
//    evt = window.event;
//  }
//  if (evt) {
//    evt.returnValue = message;
//  }
//  return message;
  return "Back";
}
