Can't you Imperious a few heads of state?
(Though probably not, or someone would have done it, though McGonagall may be aware of the details of the restrictions.)
It is of course only quite resonantly that Muggles have gained enough firepower to be a threat to shielded wizards.
It is mentioned that Grindelwald confunded Neville Chamberlain, and that the Nazis were his "muggle pawns". So I think its probable that "Imperious a few heads of state" has already happened and the result was WWII.
McGonagall would probably want to use a different method that didn't involve unforgivable curses though.
