War or culture?

However, achieving such a victory is not as easy as one might think playing for America. You must conquer the capitals of other civilizations to win, which is problematic when you start thinking about how you can cross the sea and use your valuable resources. Of course, other nations will not be happy with your military tactics.
America has many wonders and buildings that can help it achieve its cultural victory. It is best to choose to win in culture rather than waging a war across the globe.
Keep in mind that depending on which path you choose, you will have to create different kinds of miracles, governments, and policies. It's best to decide what you need to do early on. However, culture comes into play in the modern era.
If you've chosen a cultural victory, you need to focus on tourism, population growth, and buildings that provide cultural pressure to other civilizations. Build wonders like the Colosseum, Sydney Opera House, Pyramids, etc.

If you are in the mood for a military victory, build the Rhur Valley Industrial Wonder, as it will give you a 30% increase in production in the city and +1 for every mine and quarry in that area.
Militant leaders must choose oligarchy and fascism for their government. Oligarchy will bring a bonus that gives more strength to melee units; also, all units receive additional experience.
At the same time, fascism gives a decent amount of military slots, offering more fine tuning of the parameters of your units. Unfortunately, no government can 100 percent lead you to cultural victory. However, the classical republic can help you generate writers, musicians at a faster pace.
From a political point of view, it is recommended to choose Conscript and Levee en Masse for war. For culture, try the Market Economy or Meritocracy as they will provide great benefits.
