It's doubtful that America could have defeated the Soviet Union after WWII let alone the entire world. Additionally, it would have been impossible to retain the new territory. Conquering the planet through force can never be achieved, hence why it has never happened.

Agreed. And in fairness, America couldn't even conquer a handful of small 3rd world countries in the last few years.
