What Would The World If...


What would the world if there is only one continent(something like Pangaea) and there is only one Empire, One race, One language, different Culture?

Re: What Would The World If...


it would seem like it would not be humanity.

we do for some reason need other races, countries so we can strive to beat them and if this was still 1 culture, 1 nation blah blah blah than chances are we would still be like a caveman except all peaceful.

If it DID ever exist, it would quickly split.

Is "one everything” a consequence of “one continent”?
Why have I asked? Because I doubt that “one continent” means “one everything”. The great Eurasia is one continent and it has not “one everything”…

Yup! It wouldn't stay united long I think.

On the Simpsons one of the ongoing jokes is the great age of Mr. Burns. He gave Pangea as his place of birth on a questionnaire.

There would be constant warfare as mankind would fight over two sticks if giving the opportunity.

Where two people interact, there is conflict, and politics.

I think we would still have ethnic diversity, because Pangaea would still be huge, though we would have less ethnic diversity and less cultural diversity. It would radically change our history. We wouldn't know anything as we do today. Would this have spurred innovation, or created more turmoil?
