Default How World War II should have ended.

Blue = America (which controls the entire world)



With the United States annexing the entire world. I started out taking out Spain, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and the eastern half of the Middle East. The other major powers at the time were busy fighting each other (UK, France, China, USSR vs Germany, Italy, Japan) to intervene in my conquest of all of the third-world countries. I then built up the cities in my newly annexed territories as advanced industrial cities, and I built an advanced transportation system connecting my territories, so I could virtually transport troops from North America to South America in only a couple of turns, and likewise transport between territories in other continents.

I then invaded the Soviet Union, which at the time wasn't allied with The British, French, Chinese, or any other country (they were fighting the Axis on their own). With the USSR already losing on the western front, and me attacking them with several advanced tank divisions from the south (the Middle East), I quickly divided the USSR and cut off their supply lines. I then conquered both the eastern half of the USSR and the western half of the USSR before Germany could.

I then annexed Mongolia and Tuva. I was amassing forces on all of my borders and preparing for war. I then launched an attack against the United Kingdom by using ships to escort tank transports and invaded the UK and Ireland. I did the same to New Zealand at the same time. While also invading China from former Mongolia, British India from the Middle East, the western Middle East, and Africa. I attempted to invade Australia the same way I invaded the UK and New Zealand, but the Australian fleet held me back long enough for a large multinational fleet to arrive and aid Australia in defeating my landing party and escort ships. I also declared war on and annexed Portugal.

In the east I had spread my forces too thin and China was beginning to take some of my Soviet territories. I quickly launched a counter-offensive from my Middle Eastern cities, which I had set to building advanced tanks. And eventually managed to bring China down.

After making short work of the Allies, I annexed Finland. Then the Axis declared war on me. I then launched a two-way assault against Germany, attacking from what used to be Russia and what used to be Spain, where I had been amassing troops since early on in the game. I then blitzkrieged straight to Berlin, and killed the heart of the beast that is Germany. With Berlin gone, I finished mopping up the remaining German and Italian territories. I decided to declare war on Sweden, but their massive navy was defeating my navy. And I threw my largest fleet at them too. So I signed a peace treaty with them, in which I forced them to cede the one territory I had taken from them already, and to join an alliance with me. This is the first and only alliance I had in the entire game.

I then pushed the remaining Nazis out of Norway and Sweden, and focused my attention towards finishing off Australia and Japan. I moved in and island hopped to get to Japan, their fleet proved to be some challenge, but I eventually brought my naval forces over from Hawaii and Europe, and annexed Japan. Simultaneously while taking down Japan, I had managed to breach through Australia's naval blockade, and at that point I annexed them. When it was only me and Sweden left, I canceled my alliance with Sweden and declared war on them, and conquered them. And that's how World War II should have ended in real life.

Actualyl I was hoping for more for a debate as to whether or not WW2 should have happened like this or not.

Why not? I chose yes because it's good because America controls the whole world?

Because, I don't think it would be good if america would control all of the world, you're arrogant enough already with that piece of land you got on that side of the pond.

And of course then there's the bit where Finland would kick your ass and in turn take over the world.

If the UK couldn't stop America, what makes you think Finland could?

I would have said that any attempt by the United States to conquer the world in the aftermath of WWII would have probably ended with American cities looking like this:

Childish poll after childish poll, and you think you're ready to stand with the grown-ups? Every one is more lame than the last one.

Why do you keep posting seemingly random polls, generally featuring some trolling-heavy subject?


As for your question, the US of damn A ruling the world being a good thing, never. Over my dead body. I don't want your politics, I don't want your social welfare, I don't want your laws and I most certainly don't want your conservatism and blind nationalism.

I don't either! "Ruling" means dictatorship, no matter how good you think you would be at it.
