The new world order theory The term New World Order (Novus Ordo Mundi) has been used to refer to a new period of history evidencing a dramatic change in world political thought and the balance of power. When we talk about New World Order (NWO), we can say it relates to hegemony and the dominance of stronger countries over others. If we look back through history, we can see various attempts made by several countries to create a NWO or some sort of dominance over other countries. Some of these attempts were led by great warriors such as Alexander the Great (Macedonian Empire), Julius Caesar (Roman Empire), Genghis Khan (Mongol Empire), Napoleon Bonaparte (French Empire) and Adolf Hitler, among others. From this we can see that every attempt to rule the world so far has been needless and devastating. We have heard many theories and conspiracy theories relating to a NWO, including the United States and the United Kingdom wanting to form a federal world government. Other theories include the Illuminati (The People of The Light) believing they are masterminds behind events that will eventually lead to the creation of a NWO and that the Freemasons are involved in a conspiracy to create a NWO. Others say international organizations such as the World Bank, the IMF, the European Union, the United Nations and NATO are trying to create a NWO. In my opinion, these theories will never materialize because of strong disagreement from Russia, China and various Islamic countries. In regard to the above, today we can see that even more countries are trying to dominate and create some sort of order among themselves by creating unions and alliances, such as the European Union (EU), the African Union and the alliance between the U.S., the UK, Australia and Canada. Countries from Southeast Asia such as Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines will become an oasis for peace and as such, the world's most popular tourist destinations. It is most likely that Japan and South Korea will join them. The formation of such unions will cause many difficulties and misunderstandings. Unions will be formed with common objectives such as a desire to compete, to dominate, to parry, to be the biggest and some even to survive, regardless of differences in religion, nationality, color of skin, history or culture. Bigger unions mean greater desires, such as the desire to be first, to be the biggest or to be the strongest no matter what. These desires will create disorder among countries, and eventually will create war between nations, a war that will destroy mankind and mark the beginning of a true world order.
