Templar_Skipper, yes Brittain was biggest Empire in whole world. Noone can deny it. I respect it. But i voted for continental European empire, biggest was Russian Empire. Besides Russia always was one of the biggest countries in the world and still it is! Russia have huge potential, but our mother is still sleeping.

Just scanning through the thread i noticed a few people mentioning Russia and its empire, I know I'm being a nationalistic retard again (although, aren't we all?) But the Great British empire was a lot more vast the Russian empire plus it came from a tiny island, just a note to add though i do see some valid points in your arguments so im not being anti-Russian. Thing that really bothers me is how Britain gave up their empire to save France who we have been fighting against for thousands of years, although i do like the Belgians.

And to end my discussion from a while ago, how can you compare a modern war vessel to the Victory? I mean the gun decks were known as the slaughter house, not only that but in Trafalgar Nelson sailed this ship straight into the French broadsides to split the fleet, There is not the protection of modern ships it is simply a wooden wall between you and flying cannon balls, musket fire, and worse of all the splinters. This is the greatest war vessel that ever lived!

Who was stupid enough to vote this down?

Hm? I thought the Mongols ruled the biggest one in history, if we're speaking about the whole world.

Yeh i said "one of the biggest"
And all huge empires are gone, they appear for short time and then they fade away, like mongol or Brittain empires, but Mother Russia always was and still is one of the biggest countries\empires!

I think the British still ruled over more land than the Mongols did and a far larger population. But regardless, both great empires.

On the point of empires, occupying a stretch of land is not all that impressive if no one actually lives there. According to Wikipedia, that makes the Mauryan Empire the greatest empire of all time, seeing as they controlled 43% of their contemporary world population. Compared to 20% for the British, 25,6% for the Mongols, 12,3% for Spanish and 9,6% for the Russian Empire.

personally i don't really think about Indian empires much

to me the European empires were the "greatest" they spread their influence across the globe and effected the modern make up of the world. Today languages and cultures across the world are a lot to do with the euros, ie Spanish, French and English. You could argue for Rome and Greek but how much was Europe really influenced by them after their fall?

Not the Romans fault some uncivilized Euros lost most of the knowledge and pushed themselves WAY back in regards to technology.

[Osiris]

well it is the Romans fault that they collapsed ^^

Well, if you had to babysit all the idiots in Europe I think you'd collapse eventually to.

Sorry I couldn`t help myself.


Greece has the best history in all of Europe,we gave you democracy,maths,drama,theater,geometry,culture and man-boy love  ,Britain,France and Germany have stolen monuments from us since WW2 ended so I really laugh when I hear them talking about how great their history is,they have respected history,no one can deny that,but compared to Greece`s it`s nothing.

And to catch up with most of you guys,modern Greeks have nothing to do with ancient Greeks,nowadays in Greece you`ll see little spoiled brats crying because they can`t afford wearing WESC t-shirts and volcom hoodies.

I feel disgusted by modern Greeks and how they ended up Greece,we have become Europes jester...meh.


Only a massive plague in Greece will bring salvation.
