I wonder if he would have made it to China. The greeks hellenised the rest of the world. I know it's silly conjecture, but still.....

Honestly, its difficult to determine the impact. It's likely that we would wind up in a similar manner as today - though the individual country lines would undoubtedly be redefined a bit.
History is full of conquerors; in time all empires fall.

Food for thought. What if, when Ho Chi Minh came to Harry Truman asking for aid, we had given it and persuaded France to give up Vietnam peacefully? They would be our friends as they are now, over fifty years ago, with the savings of countless lives and the avoidance of untold tragedy.
Look what the cat dragged in.
