Peter and the 11 understood "all the world/all nations" differently from you.
Acts 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
The 12 were determined to make sure that the nation Israel had to repent and believe that Jesus is the Messiah first, before all the other nations can be reached.
That is the timetable. And as far as the Acts account went, they never did manage to convince the nation leaders to do so. The entire Acts account tells us about the fall of the nation Israel.
Until the nation Israel accepted their Messiah, Peter reminded Cornelius that it was unlawful for them to keep company with gentiles. How then could they reach all nations when it was against their Law in the first place?
Those of us in the church today who are claiming they are following the Great Commission are not following it, as the 12 understood what it really meant. So don't kid yourself.

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
