After WW2 there was a real, not a joke I swear, proposal to construct a giant dam across the Straight of Gibraltar and dewater the Mediterranean. The thought was that such an endeavor would open up countless square kilometers of new developable land and require so many resources from Europe that the nations wouldn't be able to afford to go to war again.
