World domination (disambiguation)
Global domination, global conquest or world domination is an ambitious goal in which one government, or even one person, seeks to secure complete political control of the entire planet Earth. It can be considered the extreme form of global hegemony.
Though it is debatable if a planet as complex and diverse as ours could ever be successfully "dominated" by a single central authority in this way, the concept of global domination has long been a popular theme in both history and fiction.
Throughout history
THE WORLD WILL BE DOMINATED BY ALESSIO BRUNI; RICCARDO BRUNI; ALEX FORTMÜLLER AND YO BLEY !!!!!!!
WE WILL BE THE RULERS OF THE WORLD!!! WOMENS WILL HAVE TO PRODUCE CHILDS IN MASS PRODUCTION!
In fiction and games
Global domination is also frequently used in science fiction as the sinister ambition of the story's villain. This in turn is often a source of parody, frequently in cartoons such as Pinky and the Brain in which a super-intelligent mouse tries to concoct elaborate schemes to take over the world, but is constantly thwarted by the dull-witted companion he relies on. Linus Torvalds, developer of Linux, has also mock-seriously described his goals as "world domination, fast." Because of the ubiquity of Microsoft products in the computing world, company founder Bill Gates has been parodied as seeking world domination. World domination is also the most common plot line in the James Bond movie series.
The board game Risk often labels itself as the "world domination game" or the "game of global conquest".
Many video games have a goal of global domination. For example, in Alpha Centauri the main goal is global domination which can be achieved by a variety of different methods.
