Top Ten Most Succesful Empires
What empire do you think achieved the most successful existence? (P.S. try to ignore the misdeeds the empire's on this list had done. (My 1st list on this site)
The largest empire ever in terms of land area. The British had a stranglehold on the world's economy which only the most powerful nations could support themselves. They had 23% of the world's population by 1913 and owned 24% of the world's land area. Won both world wars. Leader of the Allies.
Started a wave of democracy with the french revolution. Owned much of Africa and had many wars with the British. Won both world wars. Leader of the Entente.
Was the largest land continuous empire in history. Brought gunpowder to Europe. Practiced freedom of religion even though it was mostly Islamic. Tried to have cities surrender instead of fighting.
Paved the way for other major empires. Longest lasting empire in history (27 B.C.E.-1453 C.E.) Brought many new inventions into the world.
Conquered most of the Middle East, North Africa, and the Balkans. Brought down the Roman Empire. Survived Crusades by Europe.
Conquered most of the New World. 1st to circumnavigate around the world. 'Discovered' the America's (If you can say that).
Was one of the biggest empires in history. Kicked the Mongols out of Europe. Defeated Napoleon.
