How Can Britain Become A Superpower Again?

It may seem off the cards due to their size and lack of empire. To become a superpower requires a nation to have significant political, economic, military and cultural influence. Britain still have a large amount of all of these things, holding a place in the UN security council and having the 5th largest military by expenditure. However, most of their influence comes from WW2, the commonwealth, colonies and other remnants of the empire. They are often in America's shadow. Here's some methods I've thought of: - Increased military arsenal; more battleships, submarines and more ships patrolling the seas. - Mandatory conscription system similar to Switzerland. - Investment into developing nations to encourage pro-British sentiment such as Canada and Australia. - Australian style immigration system. - Incentives for producing British media with distinct cultural value and distributing it around the world. - Anglicization to counter Americanization. - Increased funding to scientific institutions and the UK Space Agency and land on moon to become first man landed on moon. - Make use of overseas territories. - Invade and conquer United States of America. That should cover it for now.

  • Next world war attack the main land. Only reason America became a superpower is because they didn't lose any infrastructure except Pearl Harbor. All these "MURUCA!" Idiots believe America was like the superior fighting force of the world and our economic system made it to hegemon status. The East was bombed to the ground and America had no domestic threats. They weren't pressured like Russia, the TRUE heroes IMO. The Russians sustained heavy losses and the capital was besieged... Yet somehow they turned things around and became the superpower to challenge untouched America. I'm ready for brainless fools to pick at facts
