Kind of a lesser known 20th century moonshot: Atlantropa, the plan to dam off the Mediterranean to create new European land. Insane but they should have done it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantropa?wprov=sfti1#

I wonder how this would have affected global sea levels? Also a truly fascinating example of Europeanism, that a group of nations, not even a state, could consider having such a big impact on communities (not to mention the colonial dynamics)
