If one were going to conquer the world, how would one go about it?

Question

Sorry, I just can't help myself. I think it would be entertaining if people gave ideas for conquering the world... who knows? Maybe I'll use a few! : )

Answer 1

Establish a venture like Captain Nemo from 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. Then, gather get some para-military contacts and forget about military borders and nationalities (to get all those specialists and black market mercenaries). Finally, infiltrate some IOs and NGOs so as to to gain global influence in the international community without having to work through particular countries. The idea would be to gather support for a new world order rather than trying to actually force everyone to concede to your might (the terrorists have it all wrong).

Spec ops, media, intel, humanitarianism, and finances baby, but don't forget about the fundamentals of prestige, respect, and networking.

Answer 2

HEY I just answered that question :(

First you have to pick a country as your home base. If you can get the most advanced country in the world, great! If not, don't be discouraged, more choices are there. You have to rule a country with a big population and one that has a economic base. Your first step is to make your country self sufficent. While doing that you wan to build your infrastructure so it's capable of building large scale military production. It also needs to be able to transport the military to the boarders fast. This can be disguised as public transportation (trains or highways). Next you want to teach your population that you are always right and that you are the best thing to happen to them. To do this you will need some part of your population to lay blame on. Woman are OK, but minoritys you can take money from are prefered. You want to sent kids to military camps so that when they get older most of your male population can go to war. Also you need alot of man power, so condems are forbiden and having alot of kids encouraged. Once you have controll over your media, you have a good industry base for weopons, and you are self sufficiant, it's time to pick a country to conquer. The first question is what natural resources do you not have that is a must for a long war effort? If you need a certain resource, find a nearby country who is weak and not allied to a country stronger then yours. Then plan a way to get to that country anad conquer it. You want to take the quickest rout to that country without attacking a country with a treaty with a bigger country. Stoping bigger countrys from entering the war is key. Bribes are higley suggested. Esp. if one of thos countrys you can bribe is on the UN security council. Also you want to have established a good network of spys. Information is key. Especially information on new and better weapon designs you can steal from a unsuspecting country. Once you have controll of strategic resources, make allies with some really big countrys. Allliances are made to be broken, but not untill your country is big enough. If you conquer a neighboring country that is of the same ethnicity as your country, you want to convince those citizens that they are now part of your country. You need a big base. After you have conquered 10 countrys, sit and wait 10 years. This should get the world to calm down about your ast aggresions and give you time to rebuild your military. After 10 years you want to start planning to conquer your whole continent. Once this is achived you can start dividing the rest of the world.

Answer 3

I would probably get myself elected to president of the US because they have the fire power and declare one by one all the leaders in the world evil. Off course to move so power full army I would need oil so I would start with the countries that have big quantities of oil. If i dominate the big oil reserves of the world then the army of the enemy would have limited or no power against me. After that everything would be easy.

Answer 5

do pretty much what we've done in afghanistan and iraq, only instead of pretending to build new democratic nations, we go ahead and declare the areas conquered. round up the men and commit genocide against them, round up the women and sell them into slavery, and round up the children and send them into orphanages where they will be indoctrinated with military training and fanatical pro-american ideology. sit back and digest these countries, forming corporations to extract and exploit their resources for the benefits of all americans, survey the land that is left over from these economic endeavors and sell it to american homesteaders, just like we did with the indians in the american west. then, when the iraqi and afghan children are grown and ready for war, we send them on little field trips to north korea and iran. repeat the process.

Answer 6

By capturing Europe first with the exception of UK. Establish your forces and bombard UK with air force until the country is in utter ruin and sent troops to seize the country.
After that prepare your plan to attack Russia. Unlike the moron Germans you don't attack Russia in the winter. I would soften them up with air raids all spring and attack in summer and when fall hits entrench my self and prepare for the winter. then when spring hits again resume attacks and take Moscow and the war is over.
Next trick will be to fire all Russian Nukes at the US and hit in the states of CA, TX, NY, CO, FL, WA, MD and MI. That would cripple the US and they would no doubt launch and attack toward Russia, by then you would evacuate your army and let them be destroyed.
I would rebuild and use nukes on China because it will be stupid to fight the country with the largest population in open warfare.
After that there will be no one left to fight it will be like taking candy from a baby.
And then world dominance!

Answer 7

That is a pretty large undertaking. Many have tried...none has accomplished it.

I think the only way it could be done is with mind control. It would be virtually impossible for one person or government to rule the world unless they had control of their subjects' minds.

It has been tried with religion...it has been tried with brute force...

If you can figure out how to manipulate the human mind, perhaps you could do it.

Answer 8

Brute force.
Hitler did pretty well, too bad he was completely evil.

That or time travel. If you could figure out how to time travel, I think it would be pretty easy to use that to conquer the world.

Answer 9

Create a virus that only I have the cure for. And one that you have to keep taking the drug for.
Let most of the world die. Then cure ones that will be loyal.

Answer 10

Ask george W , he has nearly succeeded, and I have the feeling, he won't be willing to step down in 2008. I wouldn't be surprised if he repeals the 2 term law, either.
