  • This video shows the 100 largest empires in History.
    Empires are defined as “any relatively large sovereign political entity whose components are not sovereign”
    Data is mostly based on:
    Rein Taagepera (1979). Size and Duration of Empires: Growth-Decline Curves, 600 B.C. to 600 A.D. Social Science History. Vol. 3, No. 3/4 (1979), pp. 115-138
    www.jstor.org/stable/1170959?...
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
    I updated Rein Taagepera‘s list because :
    - I drew the shapes of the countries on Google map and sometimes found different results from Taagepera's
    - I added some empires. For example, I added the United States in its XIXth century form, when it had a colonial empire consisting of the Philippines, Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama. I would not have classified the USA as an empire today.
    You might notice that some empires look larger than others on the map, while being classified as smaller. That is because maps do not represent the actual size of a sphere like the earth.

      USA could be called an empire because it has overseas territories, however, it doesn't have an emperor and is a democracy, so, I have mixed feelings on that statement.

      USA is an empire. Many actions the government takes is considered imperialistic. Looking back at history, you see manifest destiny of mainland USA, then you get alaska purchase, also a small colony in liberia for slaves to return to africa, then annexation of hawaii after overthrowing its monarchy, staging coups and military action in latin america, spanish american war resulted in puerto rico, virgin islands, puppet state of cuba, and phillippines as a colony, and more coups on countries and proxy wars. Yeah USA is an empire.

    The spanish, russian and mongol empires were at one point bigger than whats shown here
    The spanish empire had colonies in europe and their american colonies extended from the tip of south america all the way to canada
    The russian empire extended from finland to alaska, making it bigger than the USSR
    The mongol empire shown in the video is smaller than the russian empire. The mongol empire at its peak had way more russian territory and also had some territory that was later part of the qing empire.

      By the time the spanish empire had reached its peak, it had already lost its holdings in europe. By the time the russian empire reached its peak, it had already sold alaska. The russian empire hadn't conquered a lot of central asia in 1866, HOWEVER, alaska is bigger than most of russian central asia. Some stuff in this video is not true, since the video's source is probably wikipedia, with some creative liberties taken, and wikipedia's only source is rein taagepera.

      The Spaniards controlled neither the south of South America nor the North of North America, effectively conquered by respectively Argentina/Chile and the USA during the 19th century. Claims and ink on paper don't create a reality.

      This is true, but when the Brazilian Empire had Uruguay, it was not the largest territorial extension.
      The largest was the one shown in the video, without Uruguay, but with territories conquered from Paraguay and Bolivia and some from Colombia and Venezuela that the Brazilian Empire bought

      it goes much further back than that . Spain & Portugal fought over the area that eventually became Uruguay for over a century. you might of heard of "Colonia de Sacramento".? it's an historic Portuguese colonial town in Uruguay that changed hands between the Portuguese and Spanish many times over.

      During the First World War, a revolution occurred in Russia and the soldiers simply went home from the front because a civil war began in Russia. Therefore, the German troops had great success at this time. And the new communist government signed a peace treaty with Germany, because Lenin was a traitor and a German spy, as they say. But if a revolution had not occurred in Russia, the First World War would have ended for Germany even worse and faster. The Allies won the war without Russia, and with Russia they would have won it even faster.

      Yes, the Spanish Empire claimed it, but it is difficult to propose it because no one knows about it, it lasted only a few years (1789-1795), its extension varies according to sources (3,300,000 km2 in some cases) and Great Britain immediately claimed it for itself, finally remaining as unallocated territory.
      Anyway, by extension, it would continue to be the 4th largest Empire in history, behind the Russian, Mongol and British.

España llega a América en 1492. Los portugueses llegan a Asia antes, en 1498. España llega a Oceanía antes, en 1520. Oceanía es la mitad de la tierra. España completa la primera circunnavegación del mundo en 1522. Felipe II es el primer rey en tener tierra en los 5 continentes y en todos los océanos, en 1580. Pero me gusta decir que fue una expansión ibérica paralela entre España y Portugal. Así que no importa quién fue primero.
