Could we ever see a successful conqueror in the modern-day?

[Guestx]

I'm not talking about someone who gains some regional power, I am speaking of men who gain control of huge portions of the world. Men like Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan and Napoleon.

It seems to me that we are in kind of a post-conqueror era. The world just doesn't operate on that sort of wavelength anymore, where a single man could rise to prominence and fight his way to power across vast swaths of the earth. It just doesn't seem like people would put up with that kind of thing in this age.

But I dunno, maybe I'm missing something. What do you guys think? Could we ever see a new Napoleon in the modern-day?

 

[I Am Legion]

Doubt it. World is full of SJWs. Who even wants to rule them? Whiny bitches

 

[Execute]

Conquerors are still out there, but they'll instead use diplomacy or existing conflicts to expand.

 

[Horse Style]

You mean a guy like Putin or someone actively going around conquering other countries, adding to his empire?

 

[loyalyolayal]

We are all just satellite states of Dar Es Salaam.

Inshallah.

 

[Guestx]

You mean a guy like Putin or someone actively going around conquering other countries, adding to their overall power?

Yeah, Putin is the perfect example, but I am talking about him taking over all (or at least most) of Europe.

Another manlet thread!

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

Probably not in this day and age.

 

[snakedafunky]

Yeah, Putin is the perfect example, but I am talking about him taking over all (or at least most) of Europe.

Meh Putin is a can. What did he manage to get under his control in 18 years?
Parts of Georgia small parts of Ukraine and Syria.

If you compare that to Fuehrerin Merkel. She has brought most of the former Soviet countries under German control.
Add to that Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. And all of them joined the 4th Reich willingly and peaceful.

She makes Alexander the great look like some wannabee African Warlord.

Conquerors are still out there, but they'll instead use diplomacy or existing conflicts to expand.

Industrial turn changed everything.

Industrial turn changed everything.

For sure. I think the horrors of warfare are more prevalant now through tech and just basic education. Additionally we live far more comfortable lives now that no one wants to risk.

Never heard of him.

ISIS might actually have been the closest we have gotten in recent years to see an empire rise out of nothing. They had that medieval conquest mentality to boot, but look what happened to those bastards! Globalisation means that the whole world is tied up in alliances. It's impossible to conquer very much without getting everyone on your case.

Anything is possible so dont ever say no.

but i think no. I think the time of 1 man having so much power and such a system is gone. Kim jung un has that in north korea but he is not likely to defeat all other major powers and world. People say xi jinping or putin ignore how they only exist in power because support of security services and massive popular support. Other less powerful and not as popular leaders stay in power by having control of media and having military and security intelligence on there side.

If history tells me anything it's definitely that no one is ever going to try to take over the world again. Definitely not. Couldn't happen. Nope, never.

 

[Don Quixote]

I think it will happen post a major destructive nuclear war.

Considering all lands (more-or-less) have been colonized, and those boundaries are respected and protected by international charters, it's unlikely conquest (in the classical sense) will happen. Or at least, unless a third world war were to erupt, and an oppressive ruler like Putin or Jong Un were to win.

Though, conquest does exist in the modern sense, and that's through growing a global company (ala Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.), and they monopolize / exploit things like user data to gain power across governments and societies.
