The Europeans/Americans dividing up Africa and the Middle East among themselves
That was genius and only intended to separate Islamic forces for 100 years.

Here’s one I haven’t seen mentioned here, and I was thinking of putting it in the Honorable Mentions before rounding it off to five, but I think King Vortigern of Britain hiring the Saxons to help him fight off the Celts was one of the most major frick ups in world history. Basically Vortigern hired a ton of mercenaries from mainland Europe to eradicate the Celts and Picts from his lands. They succeed in this, and once they do that they then turn on him and everyone on the island of Britain and take over it for themselves. Hence the term Anglo-Saxon.

Invention of the Atomic Bomb
I understand what you're saying, and how much devastation they caused. But it could easily be argued that the Atomic/hydrogen bomb is the main reason we haven't had WW3. The fear of mutual destruction is largely what keeps major powers at "peace" with each other

The people in those regions have been show to be better off when under strong leadership. Left to their own devices they fall into petty tribal disputes. They are best as part of a powerful empire
It's true. If we needed access to the oil there, using imperialism or puppet regimes was/is absolutely necessary.
It's not like they were functioning nations prior to WW1. They were loosely defined regions within the Ottoman Empire and parts of varying caliphates or empires before that.
Perhaps the way in which the ME was carved is the issue. Iraq and Syria are just different religious and/or ethnic groups lumped together. A recipe for disaster.
Without Anglo American dominance, that whole area would have been under the control of the USSR by 1950.

I agree with that we haven't had WW3 yet cause of nukes, but I would have rather had/have no nukes and have gotten WW3 out the way during the 50's,60's etc than have all these proxy wars (korea,Nam,soviets in Afghanistan) with WW3 inevitably happening anyway...this time with nukes and no civilization.
Hell, a small nuclear war will probably kill more than ww2...Just a waste of human ingenuity in my opinion.

Two part answer
A. Jews finding Jesus guilty of heresy for saying "i and the father are one"
B. His church then hiding from.the truth by saying its only true of jesus, instead of acceptance that its true of all of us.
The false dogma that "god is not one with all" is the
Key to all political and psychological and.spiritual problems.
