    The UK - nah they are too weak and small. But I could see a world where a U.S. leader claims that they are the successor state to the british empire and thus have the right to reclaim the land.

    • Let’s not forget that the royal family is actually of German descendance.

      Before we attribute the empire to the US we should ask the Reichbürger (literally empirce-citizens, kinda like sovereign citizens, but they believe in Monarchy) of Germany if they have a suitable leader for the empire.

        I mean if you go back 300 years, but then if you go back 1000-1300 then most of England & Scotland starts to look pretty German (Anglo-Saxons, Norse), with England getting significant French & Scandinavian (Norman = French Norse) influence after and tenuously Austrian (Celts) before that… The native British people were completely wiped out at least twice before that, so frankly all sorts of European nations *could* have a claim if Putin rules applied
