100 Largest Empires in History

- This video shows the 100 largest empires in History.
Empires are defined as “any relatively large sovereign political entity whose components are not sovereign”
Data is mostly based on:
Rein Taagepera (1979). Size and Duration of Empires: Growth-Decline Curves, 600 B.C. to 600 A.D. Social Science History. Vol. 3, No. 3/4 (1979), pp. 115-138
www.jstor.org/stable/1170959?...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
I updated Rein Taagepera‘s list because :
- I drew the shapes of the countries on Google map and sometimes found different results from Taagepera's
- I added some empires. For example, I added the United States in its XIXth century form, when it had a colonial empire consisting of the Philippines, Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama. I would not have classified the USA as an empire today.
You might notice that some empires look larger than others on the map, while being classified as smaller. That is because maps do not represent the actual size of a sphere like the earth.
Please check this video for more details : • Why all world maps are...

Okay...

USA could be called an empire because it has overseas territories, however, it doesn't have an emperor and is a democracy, so, I have mixed feelings on that statement.
The USA is a Democratic Republic.dipshit...not an empire
@@mikehogan5824 "democratic"
USA is an empire. Many actions the government takes is considered imperialistic. Looking back at history, you see manifest destiny of mainland USA, then you get alaska purchase, also a small colony in liberia for slaves to return to africa, then annexation of hawaii after overthrowing its monarchy, staging coups and military action in latin america, spanish american war resulted in puerto rico, virgin islands, puppet state of cuba, and phillippines as a colony, and more coups on countries and proxy wars. Yeah USA is an empire.
@18th Ram Ranch Cowboy Really, you're just going to say it just isn't. How persuasive; I was almost fooled until you came along to correct me
The spanish, russian and mongol empires were at one point bigger than whats shown here
The spanish empire had colonies in europe and their american colonies extended from the tip of south america all the way to canada
The russian empire extended from finland to alaska, making it bigger than the USSR
The mongol empire shown in the video is smaller than the russian empire. The mongol empire at its peak had way more russian territory and also had some territory that was later part of the qing empire.
No one asked, plus your loser
And you are copying my name wtf is wrong with you
By the time the spanish empire had reached its peak, it had already lost its holdings in europe. By the time the russian empire reached its peak, it had already sold alaska. The russian empire hadn't conquered a lot of central asia in 1866, HOWEVER, alaska is bigger than most of russian central asia. Some stuff in this video is not true, since the video's source is probably wikipedia, with some creative liberties taken, and wikipedia's only source is rein taagepera.
The Spaniards controlled neither the south of South America nor the North of North America, effectively conquered by respectively Argentina/Chile and the USA during the 19th century. Claims and ink on paper don't create a reality.
Eso es falso, las posesiones en Europa las perdimos a partir del final de la Guerra de Sucesión. Flandes lo perdimos tras la guerra de los 30 años, y allí el Imperio Español no estaba en su apogeo

The Brazilian Empire actually kept Uruguay as one of its "states" (quoted due to uncertainty), but when Brazil fought Argentina for it, Uruguay "accidentally" became independent
Accidentaly? no actually the United kingdom Argentina and Brasil agreed to make Uruguay an independent state to end the dispute
@@samuelmenendez731and it was a great move, Uruguai and Paraguai works as great buffer states between Brazil and Argentina
This is true, but when the Brazilian Empire had Uruguay, it was not the largest territorial extension.
The largest was the one shown in the video, without Uruguay, but with territories conquered from Paraguay and Bolivia and some from Colombia and Venezuela that the Brazilian Empire bought
it goes much further back than that . Spain & Portugal fought over the area that eventually became Uruguay for over a century. you might of heard of "Colonia de Sacramento".? it's an historic Portuguese colonial town in Uruguay that changed hands between the Portuguese and Spanish many times over.
I'm impressed that you've included Xiongnu Empire, Rouran Khaganate, and Gokturk Khaganate. But you've shown the Xiongnu Empire at almost half of its size.

@German Tactics_DEU
During the First World War, a revolution occurred in Russia and the soldiers simply went home from the front because a civil war began in Russia. Therefore, the German troops had great success at this time. And the new communist government signed a peace treaty with Germany, because Lenin was a traitor and a German spy, as they say. But if a revolution had not occurred in Russia, the First World War would have ended for Germany even worse and faster. The Allies won the war without Russia, and with Russia they would have won it even faster.

If this is showing the year of an empire at its largest extent, then the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was at its largest in 1619, not 1480. There was a personal union between the two countries since 1385, but it didn’t become a single state until 1569 which lasted to 1795.
Still boggles my mind that a little island could have a world-spanning empire.

It is curious that the maximum extension of the Spanish Empire is not used, it was in 1803, when it included Spanish Lousiana of 2,275,940 km².
In that year the territory was ceded to France.
The Spanish Empire at the time of its maximum extension (1802) covered 17,265,636 km².
Was bigger in 1793, having that and the Nootka Territory
@@user-ls8or7ps3o
Yes, the Spanish Empire claimed it, but it is difficult to propose it because no one knows about it, it lasted only a few years (1789-1795), its extension varies according to sources (3,300,000 km2 in some cases) and Great Britain immediately claimed it for itself, finally remaining as unallocated territory.
Anyway, by extension, it would continue to be the 4th largest Empire in history, behind the Russian, Mongol and British.

Felipe II es el primer rey en tener tierra en los 5 continentes y en todos los océanos, en 1580. Pero me gusta decir que fue una expansión ibérica paralela entre España y Portugal. Así que no importa quién fue primero.
@@Gloriaimperial1 muitas das conquistas marítimas que os espanhóis conseguiram foram graças aos portugueses.
@@capnsilva Filipinas fue gracias a Magallanes, sí. Pero los barcos eran españoles, y la mayoría de los marineros y el dinero eran españoles. No es que los portugueses fueron solos allí y dieran la conqusita a España. España también llegó a Brasil antes que los portugueses (Pizón, 4 meses antes que Cabral). Llegamos a Vancouver, Alaska, Nueva Zelanda (casco español del siglo XVI), Hawai (mapa español del siglo XVI), Grecia, Italia, Caribe, Tahití, Kiribati, Taiwan, Guam, Carolinas (océano Pacífico profundo), Borneo, Papúa y Nueva Guinea, Antártida, Paises Bajos, primera vuelta al mundo... Llegamos a todas partes con marineros y barco españoles. Pero también aceptamos a unos pocos portugueses e italianos, que eran buenos marineros, claro.

The peak of the Spanish Empire was when Felipe II of Austria claimed Portugal territories , making Spain had Spanish and Portugal territories at once
Sí, pero América ahí aún no se había conquistado en su totalidad, en el 1800 el territorio era mayor
Empire of Japan - you mean Imperial Japan - should also include peninsula Malaysia (Malaya), which you missed.
The Spanish Empire was much larger than shown. In fact, it reached its peak in the 1790s.
Yeah protestant propaganda, in fact , brazil, portugal, the coasts of africa, from mexico to alaska parts of the arabic peninsula, sri lanka, and tons of islands in the pacific aren't showed in this map, also why argentina and chile aren't spanish wtf this is bs
@@suprimoklk8740 patagonia wasn't actually controlled by the spanish until much later and rio de plato is in there, but this video is full of inaccuracies,
@@osha1584 Portugal annexed Spain with its colonies in 1580, and it wasn't a normal annexation where the Spanish king and the Portuguese queen marry, putting together their colonies, the Portuguese monarchy didn't have any successor, the Portuguese courts started deciding who will be the new king, and throbbing that Portugal was in a political crisis, the king of Spain Philip II ordered the invasion of Portugal, and he succeeded, there is where the Spanish empire controlled Brazil, parts of Africa... But I guess you rather live like an ignorant.
@@suprimoklk8740 Philip ll didn't order the invasion of Portugal. He married with the Queen of Portugal and that is why Spain anexionated Portuguese territories. Ignorant

Based on if you count byzantium as Roman, as they truly were Greek, however they considered themselves Roman, tricky question.
What about the Persian empires? different dynasties but same people and pretty much consistent. They were a bunch in this video the Achaemenid, Parthian, Medes, Sasanid, Safavid, Samanian, Khwarazmian, Qajar, ect
@@ali.mass1 the same could be said about China ofc. Many different dynasties but same people. We could say the same about egypt also

Oh no
No shit a country is bigger then a city

Because the Roman Empire was based around the coast and never included the deserted and unhabitable land were no one lived in Africa
The Spanish empire is missing some territories

Not so hard
lots of them should not be considered as “empire”
"Largest power entities" better title?
but it still doesn't have modern russia, soviets, modern china, or napoleon just to name a few, so it doesn't fit that definition.
What is meant with an empire in this presentation was defined in the Info section as "any relatively large sovereign political entity whose components are not sovereign”. One can argue about the definition of terms, but that is how it was defined by the author. As a side note, and question, I am not qualified to have an opinion about whether all the entities in this presentation meets this requirement or not. Do they?
@@supremeastro5300 It seams to me that the video maker picked the largest extent of any given "empire". E.g. modern Russia is smaller than CCCP was, and one can argue it was made a bit arbitrary yes.

RAMS Best u can say that about any empire
Map is not to scale. That's why it might seem weird that some empires appear larger but are smaller.
The more North the country the smaller it actually is, while the southern equator are more to scale.
Basically the empires that control the global south will have the most land or British empire. & it would take almost 2 Soviet unions to be the size of the British empire

@@kremlinbasement7768 your not doing the Achaemenid empire justice in this comment💀 It also had conquered lands in Northwest India, Anatolia, Macedonia and Greece, Bactria, and more I can't name.
@@keithb4205 it's Persian empire
@@kremlinbasement7768 Yes, the Achaemenid empire is the Persian empire. It's considered "the first Persian empire" as other empire followed with capitals based in Persia. It's called Achaemenid due to the dynasty that ruled the empire.
@@kremlinbasement7768 what do you mean ottoman conquered Rome? You mean the Empire not the city, right? I also thought they fought Byzantine Empire cause its basically their territory their placed on plus some dessert lands.
