What if Europe tried to conquer every continent

so let's just pretend a physical map somehow was sent back in a time travel machine to each country then they decided to settle there differences and conquer all of the world to unite everyone under one banner

So the first step would be to demolish all of Africa and recruit them into their ranks so they can stand a chance against Asia in a full scale war then they use there combined army to take over the Middle East, then the real fun begins

Now the order (that's what I have decided to call this combined country) declares war on each Asian country then uses cemical warfare (basically they just use corpses to contaminate the water and to spread the plague around then after they take out the mongolens by using their overwhelming numbers to take them over and use their tech and people to conquer China and the rest of Asia then they go for Australia and take them over then they go to the Americas and kill everyone.
 
ASB Forum, if such thing happened in like 1914 there is not much left to conquer (well you would have to reconquer the New World if you only want geographical Europeans).

Another good POD would be in 1770 or just before the Seven Years war, when no American rebellions happened, at that point the Ottoman Empire and North Africa would be relatively easy to take with all European forces against them, India is crumbling under Britain. China would be quite hard but if they still suffer internal problems it´s possible to see Europe expand there. But it would take a century.
 
1. uwotm8??
2. There is no demolishing of Africa or recruiting them into their ranks. The malarial barrier will destroy any large army they try to put in or around the African population centers. They'd have more luck going after Asia, China specifically, and using that manpower for this...effort. Africa should be last, not first, and could only be done a bit at a time.
 
Isn't thAt OTL 1900?

America's is culturally European and under the thumb of the UK, Africa is colonized, India too and China has almost zero agency.
Persia is a puppet too. So, the Ottomans?
 
Yup; this belongs in the ASB forum. And this is dangerously close to a mass death scenario from your description.

That, and why would Europe unite? They haven't been in millennia, and there would be no good reason to under your scenario; at best, they'd be using such maps for their own purposes (likely to take advantage of European geography to defeat their neighbors).

If you want large European-dominated superstates, The Two Georges would be one good book for you.

At the peak of the 2nd wave the only real countries left in the Old World are:

-Ethiopia
-Ottomans
-Persia
-China
-Siam
-Japan
-Korea


Ethiopia: quite easy without other Europeans arming the Ethiopians

Ottomans: quite easy if there is no disagreement between Europeans.

Persia: Well it was partitioned in sphere of influences, so it is just one step more

China: Quite hard, I can see Russia expanding or influencing the peripherical areas more to the point of annexing them, Taiwan for UK or another country and generally more influence. Now I don´t know how an invasion could be mounted.

Siam: Well it was also partitioned a bit so like Persia it is just one step forward.

Japan: Also hard, I wonder how long would an invasion last even with bigger numbers and naval dominance.

Korea: Maybe easier but still quite remote.

Most of those weren't conquered because it wasn't needed as they were dependent enough.

And China would be hard to conquer, for sure, but a country which you can extract concessions at will is hardly fully independent. China had been gutted
