And the same is true all over the world. In Europe, they've gone from Feudal lords ruling countries as small as a mile wide to United cultures each controlling vast swathes of land. Whether you want to acknowledge them or not, here are the facts: slowly but surely, nations just keep getting bigger, usually swallowing up the little guy in the process. War or peace, the method in which they grow does not matter. What does matter is that, all throughout history, Humans have been uniting more and more. It's slow, and it's violent, but it happens. And it keeps happening. And if we keep the trend history has set (which we will), Humanity WILL become a united people. Oh sure it will probably involve a lot of wars and conflict, even internally, I'm not stupid enough to deny that. But the evidence, the actual evidence, shows that it will happen. Have you heard of something called racism? All humans have it. Have you heard of greed, and hate? All of us have it. Whenever something actually comes close to doing something grand like what you said, it always falls through, or is only half done. A good example is all democracies that have ever existed. "Oh look, it's an age of science, learning, etc. Oh, shit it's fallen through after not even halfway completing it's goal." That sums up all of human history right there.
