What was the greatest empire?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_Brazil
The German Empire (1871–1918)
>>62159062
Good one.
>all German speakers with a couple poles
>>62159095
Empire by definition means multinational. The only reason why the German Empire was so named was because Germans were bitter about missing out on the colony game and they were still compromised of constituent kingdoms.
>>62159576
Why don't Germans colonize?
Portuguese Empire was pretty great considering it was the first global Empire and had a considerable amount of area when you take into account that Portugal is one of the smallest European states in terms of population, especially Western Europe. I'm assuming we're not counting the Roman Empire as well, so I'd have to give it to the Brits or the French.
>>62159030
The Holy Roman Empire
>>62159614
>>62159634
haha classic
>>62159601
They tried but all the good land was already claimed.
>>62159030
Roman empire
>>62159611
Why would we ignore Roman empire? It's quite honestly the most influential empire and culture that shaped the European continent. Finnish lawbook has a law about limited partnership business entities from Roman empire that has survived virtually unchanged throughout its 2000 year journey through European lawbooks, for example. Not to mention their idea of res publica.
>>62159030
Depends on the parameters you use.
Dutch empire was the richest, but probably not the greatest.
Probably American empire.
>>62159833
There was plenty of fertile land in Africa. They just needed to go the Belgian way of making room
>>62159030
Literally the first global super power in human history.
>>62160086
>yes i am austrarian I am tlue angro god empelol mastel lace
>>62160022
Just meant that I didn't think it needed to be mentioned. It's a given.
>>62160050
America isn't an empire.
byzantine empire, it had the highest quality of life, existed the longest, and constantinople was basically the center of earth while most others ran around buttnaked
i wonder how did southern europe go to shit so hard and became completely irrelevant now
>>62160098
>Poltava
:^)
>>62160110
I see but it was fun to sperg out about Romans :--D
>>62160115
That's good, please stop dictating policy, pushing your culture on us, invading every little country, setting up military bases everywhere in the world, creating puppet states and adding new countries to the U.S. as 'territories' and 'states'.
>>62160147
muh one decisive victory in all of history
>>62159030
The roman empire brought relative stability for so long to all the Mediterranean I don't think anything else compares. Maybe some long lasting chinese dynasty...
British empire.
I mean, we're all speaking the language of their immensely successful empire.
>>62160115

>I mean, we're all speaking the language of their immensely successful empire.
Which borrows vocabulary heavily from Latin :D
>>62160299
Not the most common words though.
>>62160068
That land was claimed by other Europeans
>>62159030
british or holy roman
France, germany, spain and portugal all had third world tier empires compared to the british empire.
>>62160174
>The roman empire brought relative stability for so long to all the Mediterranean I don't think anything else compares
Stability was enforced not brought, there were constant uprisings, military coups, political strife, starvation, war, etc all dotted across the Empire years. Some people in some places may have lived through golden years for their life but to paint the whole Empire as some sort of great place is ludicrous.
>>62160339
>holy roman
>HOLY
>>ROMAN
>>>EMPIRE
pick none
>>62160339
>cuckstamp talking about the British Empire
It doesn't surprise me but yeah they were very important along with the Mongol one.
>>62159030
Roman Empire, Han Empire and maybe British Empire.
>>62159030
The greatest empire of the second millennia AD was the French Empire under Napoleon Bonaparte
>>62160162
>stop pushing your culture
Don't make me laugh, Aquafresh. If you could stop deepthroating our movies and TV shows (Netflix) for one God damn second we would stop exporting them to you. Want our stranglehold over your media to finally end almost a century? Do something about it.
>>62160421
The one that lasted a decade and was at war the entire time?
>>62160162
I'd be bitter too if I went from being the world's greatest economy to Germany's swampy armpit
>>62160513
Ah yes a country of 17 million tooth paste employees can stand up against a country of 320 million people with vastly superior firepower.
>>62160593
We're still one of the best economies though.
>>62160603
Ignore him
>>62160603
Jeez he was just saying make better movies
>>62160603
Haha wow. Just make some of your own movies instead of pretending that we force ours down your throat. You two-faced cocksuckers will bemoan our lack of culture then turn around and watch How I Met Your Mother.
>>62160776
>>62160844
What? Nobody cares about your movies, that's fair game. It's the media influence that is the problem.
Also pls no bullying am small country
>>62160844
>our
>we
>us
>>62161017
First of all, Europeans DO constantly talk about the New World and our lack of "culture," so my choice of pronoun was appropriate.
Secondly, this is INT. People tend to role play as their home country. Lurk more.

>>62161123

>>62161123

>>62161276
I'm just on my phone, autocorrect is a fickle bitch though.

But the most sophisticated

>>62161532
This. No doubt
>>62162621

>>62159030
Napoleon ruined France in 10 years.
Intelligent Baguettebros hate him. Just saying.
>>62162793
Experts have no place in society.
>>62162889
