What is Sunshine Empire?

What Empire would YOU say was the Greatest in World History?

  • What Empire would YOU say was the Greatest in World History? So the Factors that make an Empire Great are: -Strong Influence on the Modern World -Strong Domination over International Relation Relations -Strong Military -Strong Economic Power -Strong Industrial or Agricultural Power -Strongest trade System -Size -Life Span -Percentage of World Population -Population of the Empire So the Greatest Empire in these factors are: -Strongest Influence on the Modern World: Britain or Rome more likely Britain as Rome's technology was abandoned from 300-1000 years after their empire was invaded by Attila the Hun. -Strongest Domination over International Relations: Britain -Strongest Military: Rome or Britain – Both large, successful, powerful, well trained and well organised except the difference being the Romans focused on Land Power and the British focused on Naval Power. But unlike Britain the Romans were conquered by their enemies. So in conclusion their I would say Britain. -Strongest Economic Power: Britain -Strongest Industrial or Agricultural Power: Britain - Dominated 40% of Total World GDP -Strongest Trade System: Britain followed by the Mongols. -Size: Britain - Owned 25% of World Land Mass (33.7 million square Kilometres) and also her navy owned all the world’s oceans so that taken into account and the fact Britain dominated most of the world economy; Britain ruled the world. -Life Span: Romans or Egyptians with about 600-1000 years. (Fact: Britain's empire lasted longer than the Mongols) -Percentage of World Population: Persian Empire with 45-50% of the World Population -Largest Population within an Empire: Britain with 428 million people (25% of the World Population) Out of the 10 categories that would define the Greatest Empire, Britain dominated 8 of so in my conclusion Britain was the Greatest Empire the world has ever seen. But what do you think is the Greatest Empire in History? Agree of Disagree with me?

  • Answer:

The greatest had to be the Romans for their endurance and their influence even today. Second would have to be the England which endured for a much shorter period but where they were they always left a better system behind them.

For strongest, I'd say the Eastern Roman Empire or the Byzantine Empire as it would be later on known as. It remained a strong military power well after the collapse of it's Western half. It also had to hold it's own against countless invasions and wars, from the Barbarians of the Dark Ages, to the Sassinids, Turks, Arabs, and even Western European powers during the Crusades.

Does the United States count? At the present time, the US dominates everything on that list except the ones related to life span and population which are both increasing.

The British Empire for its legacy on the modern world through America.

I agree on most points you make. But the empires from before gunpowder and international communication systems took more to put together and hold together than more modern empires. That and the British empire was non continuous (many scattered colonies far apart) whereas most earlier empires were one solid land mass when viewed on a map (roman and Mongol the largest) and I think that it was more of an achievement to take 4 nomad tribes and use them to conquer most of the world like Genghis Kahn did. Although for the British to make an empire that was as large as it was under extreme pressure from Spain and France (world powerhouses at the time) and to do it with such a small professional army was an amazing achievement for the time.
