Why would you want European territorial aggrandisement at the expense of European culture? Best case scenario imo is an isolationist, cultural nationalist Europe in which states focus on the welfare of their own people.

Empire was a mistake. Immigration was a mistake. The EU was a mistake.

Tbh, Europe being in any sort of lead position in the world was luck to begin with, don't be sad that it is gone, smile because it happened.

Europe fucked themselves permanently with Colonialism.

Instead of staying in their countries, they tried to impose their will and people on the World.

Now that the World is imposing its will and people on them, they are collapsing. A series of failed ideologies dominates nearly all thought and discussion in the EU, and the EU is fundamentally incapable of doing anything to solve any of its problems.

Europe failing is much like the fall of Rome. Spread their empire too large and too thin, then collapsed as it attempted to re-conciliate all the contradictions and extra baggage picked up along the way.

All the world is European now. All cultures around the globe have been permanently changed by contact with Europeans, and Americans - the United States is just an extension of European culture. The global lingua france is a European language. China is Communist, a European ideology. India is a capitalist democracy, a European ideology. They use European and American (Western) technology and dress in Western clothes. The same with Russia, though they've been that way far longer, since Peter the Great.

It's a bit like the barbarian kingdoms that appeared after the fall of Western Rome. Modern Europe is the Byzantine empire.
