If All The World's Nations United To Form One Global Government, The World Would Be A Better Place
There are many advantages and disadvantages to a single world government. An advantage would be that scietific research could be funded more effectively, as there would not be multiple countries investing in the exact same research. A disadvantage would be that the world would probably face a short peroid of crisis after the government was established, as some countries would have problems needing to be dealt with and the richer countries would have to help the poorer countries.

It would be like rome because it would have to happen though a long conquest with bloody battles to eliminate infighting, constitution like the declaration of independence, and fair laws.

A very good idea but ONLY if this new world government is absolutely incorruptible, perfectly honest and "in the middle", not left not right.
Representation form each and every country would have to be a democratic process : No heirs, kings or dictators.
The Constitution would have to be approved democratically, by referendum, with a 66% majority or more.
Elected officials would serve 4- or 5-year terms, no more.
Etc.
An utopian project, if you ask me for my opinion...

That is exactly what has to be done. Of course there will be conflicts, but in the long run this courageous move would be the solution for World Peace. The unfortunate side would be the greed that is already present in our society. There are people that would feel there losing out, but I feel in time it would work out.

Although this may seem to be a dream of an ideal world, if this government was established, all of humanity would benefit. There would be much less(if any) wars and it would pave the way to a brighter future for humanity.

No.

There should be as many Sovereign Nations as possible, with Independent Currencies and Armies to defend the Motherland.

And all citizens having guns with which to defend themselves.

 You say that we can't stop the fact that there will always be a war going on. THIS is the way in which we can prevent the continuous occurrence of wars.

However, the odds of all muslims, christians, jews, satanists, and all of the other religions getting together and accepting one universal belief is so incredibly unlikely. And, if all nations came together, an argument would be sparked about something, and division would occur all over again.

No this would be much like a totalitarian state that governed the entire world. In addition, this would lead to world wars if anything as the politics of the whole world would be controlled by a single party, and inevitably there would be disagreements about topics such as nuclear weapons, territory and military force.

 And as we have seen in the past, governments run by a universal system, Soviet Union, do not work out very well.
