What's the greatest empire in history? I want to give it to British Empire but I feel Roman Empire is better by only a little.
It seemed to me to be the pinnacle of human culture.
Devotion to father, family, community, Rome, Emperor, Empire and most importanly roman values and culture.
the mongols
>>74963439
Mongols are shit tier, they were good at conquering i give you that but all they did was steal shit.
>>74963408
The British, truly a league of extraordinary gentleman who turned everything they touched to gold.
t. Maori
here comes the edgelords claiming that indians, chinese and mongols were better empires
fucking morons. Romans and British have advanced humanity further than all other empires & cultures combined
3rd reich
The empire of this guy
>>74964603
That one was pretty good. Too bad he didn't live longer. Can you imagine if he had survived and set-up a long lasting dynasty?
>>74964603
Macedonian Empire.
Was pretty based, yeah.
>>74963408
I almost want to say the Greeks, only because they really were the first at almost everything. Logic, philosophy, drama, the Greek empire touched all 4 corners of the world while Rome was still little more than a port city... Even the Roman gods are carbon copies of the Greek gods. Just have different names

Came too quickly, leaving a big embarrassing mess
I think give it 100 years and people will be more willing to say the British Empire and Roman Empire were about level. Currently we still have a vast majority of Indians crapping all over their streets while loudly complaining that the British totally ruined their country with no benefits for themselves.
>>74963686
The British empire is the pinnacle of our civilisation, look what happens when the Anglos leave India and Africa it's in complete ruin.
>>74964603
He was pretty great, his empire was shit because it fell as soon as he died.
The European union
>>74965300
The Brittish empire lasted 100 years, and msotly conquered places that outperformed technologically by far. The roman empire lasted over 1000 years,and stablish western society as we know. There is a reason why all the western enpires have claimed to be the successors of Rome.
>>74965465
Africa was a shithole during the Brittish rule,except Rhodesia and South Africa. South Africa did better under Aparthaid too btw. India has done a lot better since the Brittish left too. Literacy increased faster and the economy is growing at a faster pace too.
>>74966231
Because the world moves faster these days, and no the British empire lasted waaaay longer than 100 years, the first English settlement in Canada was founded in 1497 so fuck off Spain. And they still have an empire there's 14 colonies still.
>>74966372
You know Canada's literacy rate grew too from 1970 to today? Wow who'd have thought that a 100 years ago literacy rate would be so low! Especially in a country that was undeveloped until the British went there. Next time think moron
>>74966690
>Because the world moves faster these days, and no the British empire lasted waaaay longer than 100 years, the first English settlement in Canada was founded in 1497 so fuck off Spain. And they still have an empire there's 14 colonies still.
You are right the empire lasted 150 years,before that it only owned trasing posts and some clay in America,but didnt require the pre requisites of a empire (being multinational and be bigger than a kingdom). Canada was discovered first by the Vikings and then by Portugal,I dont know why you bring it up. Canada's literacy rate was never as low as India's under the Brits,you just have to see that the literacy rates grew much faster (the graph was steeper) than under Brittish rule.
>>74967336
No it lasted longer than that, and honestly I don't give a shit about Spain's opinions you guys are basically third world tier and act like chinks. We should have sunk your boats when you illegally fished in our waters
>>74967847
Not an argument
>>74968225
Fuck off shitposter you're just mad your old colonies are all literal garbage the best one is probably Argentina and it's shit
>>74967336
Empire lasted from 1497-1968, cunt.
>>74967847
Rome lasted 2200 years from Roman Kingdom to Byzantine. British Empire ruled for what...200 at most?
And no Spain is not third world tier. lol. They're in the EU, hahaha! But you can continue living in delusion.
>>74968350
Kek. No it didnt. Until 1815 it really wasnt an empire. The French dont claim that they were a Empire in the XVII I dont know why you keep trying to fool yourselfs about the reallity.
>>74968350
You technically do still have an empire, your overseas territories were still called crown colonies before the 1980's.
>>74968533
Found the spic
>>74968350
Okay, so about 450 years? That's nothing compared to Rome.
>>74968309
Califonia and Texas are not shitholes.
>>74968669
Has nothing to do with me. :) but you can continue spouting ad hominems. Just shows how little you know.
>>74968637
>until 1815 it wasn't really an empire
You don't know shit
>>74968770
Because America took it over
>>74968674
Kek it didnt lasted that match. They were not an empire until they started to expand in Asia and Africa. The same way that the French went. No one called XVII France an empire,I dont get why Brits claim it was a empire at that time
>>74968874
America took over the 13 colonies too. Your point?>>74968837
So Denmark had an empire because they owned Greenland and Iceland? Pls stop embarrasing yourself.
>>74968906
So they weren't an empire because they had colonies in Australia, Canada and the Caribbean in the 1700's and it wasn't until they stepped foot in Africa and Asia that they magically became an empire?
Stupid
>>74969022
Yeah they did, and the French still have an empire because they have a colony in South America and I think you still have a colony near Africa
The American empire
>>74969182
No,you seem to not get what a empire is. Empire requires 2 things ( multinationality and large extension) until the XIX the Brittish empire wasnt multinational,as the colonies were inhabited by Brits and nationless slaves. The same goes with the Frenchs before they started colonizing Africa
>>74969182
Yeah, France goes around calling itself an Empire to this day. Come on syrup nigger.
>>74963408
Obviously Rome
>>74969422
>you need to be multicultural to be an empire
Um who are the natives? But seriously now I know you're just a shitposter, Europeans need to be banned you guys are literally 99% shit posters

Kek.
>>74969570
>who are the natives?
They were independent nations,mostly,unlike the ones in the Spanish empire.
>>74969510
They don't but they are, you have a colony you're an empire it's as simple as that why is this such a hard concept to understand?
>>74969546
Rome is overrated, a bunch of pizza niggers fucking around with homo emperors and shit
>>74969645
No they weren't we took them over how is that independent? You're fucking stupid
Prometheus' gift has burned out, and the gods are long behind us. We live in an age, not of metal, but of darkness. Everything we used to inscribe information has a short, and finite lifespan. Our monuments are built by the lowest bidder. There will be nothing of us to remember. Nothing but Voyager, for those keen to find it -- if there's anyone out there. And they'll come looking for ghosts.

Rome is the fucking foundation of western societies, it been less than 2 millenia and we still can't get over it.
British Empire is an obvious contender but we'll have to wait one or two centuries to compare

>>74969925
I don't care about Rome nothing interesting happened, just homos fucking each other and conquering shit skins no different from the British except the British were based and actually did stuff like invent everything relevant to us today and write a billion stories that they're still turning into movies and remaking today
>>74969960
Nice one, fucking cunt
>>74969239
>>74969925
Why do we have to wait? The brittish empire is gone,and it never shadowed the Roman empire. The only contenders nowadays are the US and China to surprass it.

You are retarded. Go pick up some book on the romans, greeks or philosophers or the history or anything.
They gave us literally everything, the way to make a society and a huge one at that, the thirst for freedom and democracy. Actually awesome innovations leading to the first cities (e.g. water management), ... everything. All that we are today is thanks to them. The Brits conquered some nigger lands and didn't even produce more innovations than the French or Germans (all are similar). Great fucking achievement.
The United States of America is the greatest empire of them all.
All of history and statistics point to it but for some reason no one wants to admit it.

>>74971382
I doubt it. Unless the military starts to politized,which is something that is very unlikely. Maybe it transitions into a mega corporation or something like that,but an empire is unlikely.
I'd agree with OP. As much as ours was the largest empire, it wasn't the greater than Rome's one. Everywhere you look in the West there's references to Rome, in architecture, art, language, laws, political structure, class systems. We left the world our language, industrialisation and a few other things, but it's nothing on Rome's legacy.
The Romans left us pretty much the blueprint every Western society has been build on since, we couldn't do that, just change a few bits of it.
>>74971382
I hope so. You already have worlwide cultural, economic, and military influence.
Since you don't have that tradition of monarchy like the european states I think you'd need something more like Caesar - a powerful and charismatic ruler who seizes power for himself and creates an empire.
>>74970902
>United States

America lost their chance when they decided not to nuke Stalin.
Now they're on the decline and will never again have the chance to go down in history as one of the Great Empires.
>>74971622
Great answer. I was going to say they put us all on the tracks needed to build any of our societies and even slapped us on the back to get us started. But blueprint is a great term and well found.

The Ancient Irish Empire 67432BC at its height under high king O'Brien.
It later famously collapsed in the fourth Finno-Hwan coalition when a combination of internal turmoil and new,unprecedented hyperlaser technology led to its downfall with General Hwan himself laying siege to Dublin forcing the Irish the surrender the holy Imperial khagnate to Finland in the harsh treaty of Wexford in 64986.
The Empire is remembered for founding cities such as Berlin, Paris and Rome as well as a small colony in modern day Israel where Irish mixing with semites eventually led to the creation of the Jewish race.

Canada, why?
You can argue all you want, but the Romans will always be the greatest empire.
The British, just like the Spanish, French, Portuguese and all, just had the technological advantage.
The only merit the latter names empires have some merit, is that they defended it from other European countries, not the conquest, not the rule.
The romans on the other hand... Literally the cradle of the world as we know it

I would say Britain, not because I'm British and not because the land that was amassed from such a small country, but because it's the only Empire that literally gave everything back out of sheer pity. Not only that, but Britain actually improved the countries that were colonized and they only went (back) to shit when the butthurt started and the whole "Well we could have done that" situation came up. Quite obviously they couldn't which is evident by the fact they're all third world countries. Again. The rest collapsed because of degeneracy or greed or combinations thereof, Britain's was halted because of hurt feelings and nothing more.
>>74963408

>>74972350
Roman Empire led to Holy Roman Empire
Which led to Germany which led to their navy escorting Spanish ships to Canada to steal our fish and threaten sanctions against us if we don't let you steal our fish. So the Romans led to you which means Romans can fuck off

Spain and the penninsula was a territory of constant wars. Since iberians, since romans, since visigoths, since the Reconquista, Spain was forged with the metal of the sword and the metal of the coins.
One country made around a religion, and against all nations. One group of people moved by the love of the woman, the gold and his God. An empire who conquered empires, and empire who defeated empires, and an empire who died fighting.
We are truly the sword of Rome, the fighters of Christianity and one of the fathers of the western civilization.
Spain and his history is romantic, brave and passional, like me, Fernando MartÃnez.
>>74972350
That was the Greeks with the emphasis on older men taking young boys as lovers and generally being socially gay and degenerate as fuck. Rome less so.

Have you read books about anything before? especially about the celts?
Did you know that the gladius was first used and forged by the celts?
Did you know that the first chariot warfare was used and perfected by the celts?
Did you know that the first big roads in Europe where used and build by the celts?
The first European big universities, places for the elderly and hospitals where build and used by the celts.
They did brain surgeries.
Don't believe the sources of earlier Roman writings. Everyone ridicules his enemies, even the so called 'heroic and noble' romans.
The celts fought till their deaths even when they knew they lost. We can learn a fucking hell of a lot of them. They where almost always outnumbered by the Romans but still managed to witheld them for centuries.
We are getting wiped out in a few decades. We need to regain our celtic spirits. Romans are literally multiculti cucks.

Every civilization has his lifecycle, You should know that. They lived through the times of alexander the great, through the times of the egyptians, through the times of the Roman empire. They lasted the longest of them all mate. They even survived until the 1600's in some parts northern scotland.
