1915 - Dardanelles Strait (half a million casualties for the Allies in a very ill-conceived military adventure)
241 BC - Strait of Sicily (the Roman Navy takes its revenge on the Carthaginian fleet, effectively ending the First Punic War)
1453 - Bosphorous Strait (the Ottoman blockade of the strait is pivotal in the fall of ConstantInople)
480 BC - Strait of Salamis (much smaller Greek fleet absolutely smashes the Persian fleet)
413 BC - Strait of Messina (an Athenian expedition ends in disaster, paving the way for Sparta's supremacy in Greece)

He could have done that with minimal backlash and enormous internal support because, you know, "the economy".
The Orange Idiot inherited probably the strongest economy of the century. He could have just run with it while doing all kinds of shady businesses on the side, deporting black and brown workers, repressing minorities, advancing his fascist political agenda.
