I think it is a very rash statement saying that the British Empire was the biggest ever. If we consider since the International Law´s point of view, that the whole Australian continent, the whole India and the whole Canada were British property since UK claimed them in the XIX century as British dependences, upon the simple fact of - nobody else more could avoid it - , then the whole Pacific Ocean was a Spanish property since Spain claimed it in the XV century as Spanish property through the Pope Alexander VI´s papal bull known as Inter Caetera´, of 1493, till the Nootka Convention of 1794, where Spain at last allowed the free navigation through the Pacific Ocean. This means more than 300 consecutive years of Spanish domination over the Ocean Pacific due to the simple fact of that nobody else in Europe, Asia or Africa knew how to arrive and how to cross the Pacific Ocean, becoming so in what was known in the international context during those 300 years, as the Spanish Lake´. By the other hand, all the British colonies at Africa were assigned to UK through the international Berlin Conference of 1884 and the Versailles Peace Conference of 1919, which acted, both of them, as a kind of `United Nations´ (due to the fact of that this current international organization did not still exist that time), in order to distribute Africa among the European powers according to the European Law and point of view. Concerning to Spain during the height of its power, it was the pope himself in the XV century, (that´s, the `United Nations´ of that time...), who assigned through the Conference and Treaty of Tordesillas, of 1494, the whole American Continent plus the whole Pacific Ocean plus a half from the Atlantic Ocean, to Spain, since Spain had discovered the Americas and the Pacific Ocean, while he also assigned the whole African Continent plus the Indian Ocean plus the other half from the Atlantic Ocean, to Portugal, since Portugal had discovered the African Continent and the Indian Ocean. Both Spain and Portugal had claimed in exclusivity too the Atlantic Ocean, so this is the reason of the pope divided it half to half between them. This way during the Iberian Union of the Spanish and the Portuguese Empires into a unique empire ruled by Spain (since 1580 till 1640), the Spanish Empire since the International Law´s point of view included the whole American Continent plus the whole African continent plus the whole Pacific Ocean plus the Whole Indian Ocean plus the whole Atlantic Ocean. That´s a peak of extension of over 360 000 000 km² including lands and oceans, and this is the reason why the Spanish coins of that period represented the spanish king riding a horse over a sphere that meant the domination of the whole world by Spain as the first universal or global empire from History, since the 70% of the planet belonged to Spain and this is the reason of the famous Phillipe II of Spain´s phrase ` the sun never sets down in my kingdom´. The maximun extension ever of the British Empire was around 40 000 000 km² and never included neither oceans nor seas. This is this way because, unlike Spain, UK could never claim a whole sea or ocean as exclusive British possession since during the peak of the British power, (since 1815 till 1914), there were many important colonialist competitors for UK around the world, such as France, Germany, Russia, USA or Japan. The Spanish Empire instead, during its peak of power (since 1494 till 1650), had no real colonialist competitors to dispute its territorial or maritim claims due to the deep difference of power between Spain and its powerful empire extended all along the world, compared with the rest of European, African or Asian countries, who had mere little territories if not nothing, out from Europe, Africa or Asia respectively, and in consecuence less human, politic, economic and militar power. In conclusion, the biggest empire from History according to its full extension during a certain period of time was the Spanish one, followed, in this order, by the Russian one, the British one, the Mongolian one and the French one. The Spanish Empire also included during the Iberian Union all the territories discovered by Spain or Portugal and claimed as possessions by them: Australia, discovered by Spain for Spain, Indonesia, discovered by Portugal for Portugal, New Zeland, discovered by Spain for Spain, Japan, discovered by Portugal for Portugal etc, plus diverse specific places discovered by Portugal at India, China and Arabia, and by Spain at Antartica and at several islands all along the Pacific Ocean. Spain and Portugal discovered together the entire world for Europe, so all those continents and territories discovered by them around the world have still Spanish or Portuguese names like `Canada´, `America´, `Africa´, `New Guinea´, `Antartica´, `Australia´, `Indonesia´, `Japan´, `Indochina´, `Arabia´, `Phillipines´, `Pacific Ocean´, `Indian Ocean´, `Solomon Islands´, `Marianas Islands´, `Fernandinas Islands´, etc. By last, according to its global impact for History, scholars and historians all over the world claim that the most prominent empire in the Humankind History, is the Spanish one just after the Greek and the Roman Empires, because of the changes that it brought to the world. One of those changes or effects was the dawn of the British Empire itself more than 100 years after the rise of the Spanish one. It´s more, there are many historians who consider that the Spanish Empire is even ahead of the Greek or Roman Empires in importance because linked all the 5 continents and all the 5 oceans for the first time in the Humankind History, unifying the world and creating the globalization which we all know today. I´m not Spanish but I´m a History teacher and History is History and the historical objective facts are the historical objective facts.
