The biggest problem with that plan is we really didn't have any more.

Fine take the entire world starting with the soviet union. Then move on china and other commis, and remainnig facists. ALl while building more nukes.

That would never work... Allow me to explain why:

To drop a nuke, you must have control of the air, and if you wanna take the world then your gonna have alot of planes to take out:

-The British
-The Soviets
-The French
-The Germans
-The Remnants of Japan (if they decide to rejoin)

Probably several others too. And if America wanted a huge Aerial War, they would need oil, and Im sure a mixed Russian-British attack could cut you off from the Middle East.

No, all of those were under control, except the soviets. And the US had plenty of oil then. They didn't try to take over the world militarily because the american population would not want to do so then, 6 years of war were more than enough.

Small point here, at this point the U.S. didn't get its oil from the middle east. We were one of the largest oil exporters in the world.

It still wouldn't have worked because the Red Army would have completely wrecked the American forces in Europe, Especially if you had the British on their side.
 
I clearly said keep britian under my wing.

Damn Houston...
 
To go back to the original question in the thread...I would have to be the successor to Basil II Boulgaroktonos. After him, the Empire just went down the tubes, culminating in that horrible evening at Manzikert. Zoe and her various husbands gave us the loss of southern Italy, the Great Schism, the slow degeneration of the new eastern themai, and economic troubles up the wazoo.

Instead, I\'d definitely go after the Levant. Armenian gold is fine and all, but since the time of Theofilos, we really didn\'t need any. Instead, we ought to recapture Jerusalem and finally get those religious wars done right, dammit! ;)

Another fantastic time would by the same nation in 628, right after the Battle of Nineveh. Instead of Herakleios having dropsy, it\'d be me! Wheeee. :lol:
 
Józef Klemens Piłsudski, who defeated the Red Army at the Battle of Warsaw and likely saved Europe from the Bolsheviks.

Go back in time and assasinate Jozef Klemens Pilsudski =]

The US has never "needed" Arabian oil. Only about 10% comes from the Middle East, the vast majority comes from either Canada, Mexico, or is pumped ourselves.
 
The New World, ~10000 BCE. I would infect every animal I could find with cowpox and hope it spreads to humans. So when the Europeans show up, 90% of the population won't die of smallpox (theoretically). European technology will still mean they are more or less subjugated, but at least they will be able to preserve a lot of their culture.

I would also find a way to preserve the mammoth population.

A change, that early in history, will probably make Europe inhabited by a combination between today's Malaysians and Ethiopians.... ;)

There're are Malay Malaysians, Chinese Malaysians, Indian Malaysians, indigenous Borneo tribal Malaysians...

Which particular segment are you referring to? :p

Well, probably a crossbreed consisting of 50% Chinese Malaysians, 25% Indian Malaysians and 25% indigenous Borneo tribal Malaysians. :D

Go back and assassinate Lenin, Stalin, and perhaps Khrushchev. Save the world a whole helluva lotta hassle.

Perhaps go back to 1939 (as maybe the US or England), form an alliance with Hitler, and invade the Soviet Union. Then take our best sniper, and take out Hitler after the USSR is done.
