The historical development of dominance theories and their impact on world politics (19th-20th century)

Sovereignty has consistently been a subject of conflict among societies throughout recorded history. The ongoing struggle for power, spanning from tribes to states, reflects the efforts of communities to assert dominance over one another. These power struggles have captured the attention of politicians and thinkers across various historical periods, resulting in the development of numerous theories. This study will focus on an analysis centered around the Theories of Land, Sea, and Air Dominance. These theories, collectively known as Dominance Theories, play a significant role in shaping the modern world. Therefore, their impacts on both battlefields and politics will be examined in detail. In addition, considering advancements in Artificial Intelligence, the potential development of Artificial Intelligence -based dominance theories and their advantages for dominant states will be meticulously explored. The transformations that concepts like politics and sovereignty might undergo in the presence of artificial intelligence will also be examined. Lastly, the study will evaluate not only the impacts of dominance theories but also their diverse applications. These theories have influenced various domains, ranging from military strategies to tools of deception. Speculations regarding the possible use of the Heartland Theory as a deception during World War II will also be addressed. This research aims to evaluate the direct effects of dominance theories while refraining from the countless materials and ideas employed societies' power struggles and if applicable, to analyze their refletctions in the present day.
