One should note that if Muhammad did in fact make these predictions, Islam's global imperial aspirations (proven as they were by the end of Muhammad's life) would make the conquest of any number of neighboring or nearby peoples a likelihood.
The predictions historically played a huge role in the continued Muslim jihads against the Roman (Byzantine) Empire, and when the Muslims finally conquered it in 1453 it was seen as the fulfillment of an eschatological vision of an apocalypse which never happened.  


Another hadith adds that the Hour was expected to come with this conquest:

Constantinople was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Constantinople conquered in 1453] by fighting, the Dajjal didn't appear and the city was renamed to Istanbul, so literally Constantinople no longer exists.

The Roman empire seized to exist before it could be altogether conquered, though if one counts here the partial conquest of some of Rome's (Byzantine's) territories, then the question remains as to why the Dajjal failed to appear.
The Roman empire was conquered by Mehmet the Conqueror of the Turkish Ottoman dynasty in the 15th century, but the Dajjal did not appear after this event though many in the Muslim world thought he would.

One might note that soon after this statement is alleged to have been stated by the prophet, the Muslims would conquer vast lands - the Muslim empire would only come to a grinding halt some 1300 years later.
This hadith was invoked by ISIS to rationalize the international coalition that formed against them.

In fact, it is rather Muslim's disagreement as to what constitutes the Sharia (as a result of their trying to implement it) that results in inter-Muslim conflict. One can imagine that had Islam separated church and state, many such conflicts would have been avoided.
As the Muslim community split into warring factions very quickly after the death of the prophet, this hadith is almost certainly another example of ''vaticinium ex eventu'' about events of the various Muslim civil war, fitnahs, revolts, and unrest from the 7th and 8th centuries.
