  • Ireland became independent in 1918.

  • NATO and the EU are not empires. The former is a military alliance, and the latter is an economic and political union. Despite it's imperial-esque ambitions, the USA is hardly an empire.

  • @sprucemoose18 - obviously, but i think it's ok to include them. It can be argued that they are the modern equivalents. 

  • @Allistermills A fair point.

  • NATO is an alliance not an empire

  • some of what u mentioned where not empires, but colonies. spanish, french, british, nato. these are not empires but colonising forces that never managed to intergrate the subjugated ppl into their culture, language, religion. take the caliphate or islamic empire. in a very short time all of syria, north africa, khorasan (afganistan, pakistan, iran, parts of india) etc. accepted islam, adopted arabic (not all), adopted the arabic alphabet and they still use them until now.

  • can u really call nato and eu empires?

  • @jeppe312s EU is half a country, so almost. NATO i don't think so.

  • Don't you read any history books, in 1788 The netherlands wasn't a part of Spain, it was already independent from 1648, and the persian empire didn't control greece or turkey in 500 AD. That area was part of the Eastern Roman Empire also known as the byzantine empire, you idiot. You have much too learn

  • 2:19 the white empire

  • LMFAO at British Empire's claim on Antartica.

    I highly doubt anybody actually lived there. It's like people drawing with crayons on a map, declaring vast uninhabitable wild snow covered lands to be theirs... amazing.

  • @Phead128 oh uneducated fool, a few countries have a share of Antarctica, we still have ours i believe its used mainly for research etc

  • @samholdsworth

    It's not a share if it's used for research... Research means non-permanent habitation, which speaks to my point that not even a few people can live on antartica's vast icy wilderness even for a seasonal period of time - hence the term unhabitable.

  • @Phead128 instead of arguing with me and leaving shitty comments on youtube, go look it up, do a bit of research if ur that bothered about it.

  • @Phead128 Whilst it's strange, it's not entirely pointless. A claim on a particular area of Antarctica essentially gives you free reign on any scientific experiments you conduct there, or any study facilities you wish to set up. Britain, France, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina all laid claim to certain areas. The Antarctic Treaty was later enacted, which means the USA and Russia can lay claim to any areas they wish.

  • @sprucemoose18

    ...oil :D

  • @Phead128 Pretty much =P

  • Not a very good video.

  • in white,

  • look at north caucasus,is in black color,because mongolia cant take it

  • In 1918 to more than 140 years the French had left Canada and was no longer part of the empire. I can also see that India appears and in 1918 was not part of the French empire, as they had lost in 1763 as well canada

  • i think the russian was by far the largest.i know the british owned more square miles of land and stuff but i dont see a bunch of dots scattered over the earth as a united empire

  • Comment removed

  • Look at the size of our empire :)

  • Go britiain :)

  • Nice vid, by the way you forgot byzantine empire and macedonian empire.

  • Dude, read history. PERSIANS NEVER CONQUERED GREECE!!!

  • NATO/EU aren't empires, and you forgot Nazi Germany. Good video though!

  • HEY U MAKER OF THIS VIDEO UR BIG ASSHOLE THERE IS NO SPANISH EMPERY OR PORTUGAL THEY ARE FUCKING PUSSY TAKING FREE LANDS AND BURNING THE NATIVE PEOPLES... EMPIRE IS RISING WITH BATTLE NOT WITH FUCKING FREE LAND TAKING U BITCH DELETE THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

  • @dShando1 OUR EMPIRE BITCH! WE FIGHT IN AFRICA AND FOR OUR COUNTRY TOO ASSHOLE! WE FOUND THE NEW WORLD. WE CONQUER IT TOO! SO; IF YOU WANT TO ARGUE ABOUT STH THAT HAPPENED 500 YEARS AGO GO FOR IT. STUPID ASS PRICK

  • The Maurya Empire at peak had a land mass almost the size of Rome by 200 B.C.

  • why not include the american colonies for the british empire?

  • Spain this, Spain that... ppl always loving or hating Spain, always admiring or enviding the Spanish Empire, in the same way the ppl do with USA, today. -.-'

  • @AngelStratocaster

    well after what they did in WW2 and still support it, Spain can fuck off for the hundreds of thousands of people they killed.

    Plus their filthy mosquito's have malaria. Just...disgusting.

  • @WolfytheWolf5667 Spain had a previous bloody civil war, which left the country destroyed. GBR never suffered a real war front in its territory, even beyond some bombs in London. GBR wouldn't have done much without USA help. And dispite those mosquitos u speak about, the British still coming to Spain in mass. Not mention to those who are living there (600.000). Btw, where are the natives of North America: Canada and US? I'll tell u: killed by the british pilgrims. Lol. Malaria? Where? Ignorant.

  • you haven't put the byzantine empire

  • @pangrin

    Byzantine empire are the same the Roman empire(Eastern Roman Empire)

  • omg fail persian empires was berfore roman empire

  • From my information the British didn't have Antarctica till NATO

  • NATO can protect citizens?

  • @formless777 by the time I already learned that...

  • Whatever you say about the British empire it was massive a great achievemnt by a country with little land itself. The British empire created the modern world ( Britain didn't invent slavery and isn't solely to blame)

  • @elmateeeo "The British empire created the modern world"

    Ahah, it's pleasant to forgot all the other europeans empires which did as much as britain. The "modern world" isn't just the "industrialised world". Aaah patriotic people  - _ -

  • @elmateeeo Haha, The British Empire created this world? Only you? That's a very egocentric statement. There were many european nations before the British Empire who were in scene. Keep up with ur anglo-saxon propaganda, but u won't fool with that to the French, the Spanish or the Russians.

  • if u look to cities her time's best is roman empire and ottoman empire .. i guess .. richiest. and money = strong

  • Canada in 1920s was part of the comman wealth not directly part f the British empire just saying

  • how can the USA have an Empire? You need a monarch to have an Empire!

  • @nrjelley The US had colonies, so it was an "empire" no matter how Americans deny it.

  • @DiscordChaos yeh, but its not tecnically an Empire because you need an Emperor/Empress to have an Empire.

  • @nrjelley Russia had Tsar, France had a President? Britain had a King/Queen and Prime Minister, Roman had a Senate, the Caliphate had a Caliph, etc.

  • @TerraDepicter I'm sorry perhaps I should have said you need a type of monarch government to have an empire. Britain has a constitutional monarchy, France used to be a monarchy, Russia used to be a monarchy, BUT USA never had a monarchy therefore cannot be an empire. Republics dont have empires!

  • @nrjelley Except when this republic is attacked by all its neighbours (cf. french 1st republic turning into the first french empire). Well, overall you're right, but the definition of an "empire" has always been complicated you know...

  • Alexanders Greek Empire?

  • @claudiobl6 Alexanders Macedonian Empire NOT GREEK!

    He wasn't greek.

  • @StivenMKD thats right , but Macedonia is a greek state and Alexander was Greek!!

  • @StivenMKD Alexander was Greek. Ancient Macedonia lies within modern Greece (not actually the modern state stupidly named Macedonia). He spoke Greek (Attic), descended from the same ethnic and cultural background. Meets all the criteria actually.

  • @Ljenkins9000 Looks like your goverment washed up your brain pretty well.

  • @StivenMKD Are you fucking kidding me? Is that really your response? My government doesn't write ancient Greek history. Go look up where the capital of ancient Macedonia, Pella, is.

  • @Ljenkins9000 You saying Alexander the Great? (he's MACEDONIAN, not greek)

  • @Legomakerx Ah geez.. Ok. Ancient Macedonia has nothing to do with the modern state named Macedonia. The ancient kingdom actually existed within the borders of the modern state of Greece. By ancient standards, he was Greek. Part of the Greek world, spoke Greek, had ethnic and cultural ties with other Greeks, etc., etc.

    Tell me, would you say Leonidas was not Greek because he was Spartan? Would you say Socrates was not Greek because he was Athenian?

  • @Ljenkins9000 u saying that the people inside the today's borders of greece are greek (including macedonian)?

  • @Legomakerx So... Are you asking me to re-write my last comment? The point is, however you define what it means to be "Greek", Alexander the Great fits the bill.

  • @formless777 yea i know they invaded Greece and took part of it but the map shows all of Greece under Persian control

  • you suck

  • The sun never sets on the british empire. True fact, there isn't time when the sun never shines on any of the british colonies.

  • @moctuzuma

    what does that mean? people keep saying it's something to be proud of.

    I don't see how having an empire in the night is something to be proud of...

  • lol dude wtf british empire 1922 they got antarctica? yea i bet they was like: hmm lets see here's ice aaaaaand ice .. oh yea jackpot this is a real good colony ..

  • Persian Empire ruled 500 BC not AD

    And never subjected Greece.

  • Cool video I kind of want to a video like that one but with a little more empires =-)

  • the Persians never made it to Greece

  • @higold123

    Actually the Persians invaded Greece and burned Athens twice. Remember that movie 300 ? It was loosely based on fact. While the Persians left Greece, it was mainly because they realized there was nothing worth looting. The Greeks eventually ejected the Persians, but the Persians made it to Greece in large numbers.

  • tha most important empires was tha portuguese spanhis french and british also united provinces (holand)

  • Portuguese Empire, the first and the last world wide empire!!

  • Spain did not own the U.S.A1!!

  • @dudeomaticman

    Mexico owned California, Mexico had come under the Spanish Empire.

  • @dudeomaticman the spanish empire owned 2/3 of the current USA territory and were the first and original owners

  • @dudeomaticman they owned the west coast, france owed the middle and the british did own the east coast 

  • @dudeomaticman

    Actually Spain did technically own large parts of what is now the continental USA for centuries. Of course they did very little with it. Originally the USA was only a strip of 13 coastal states on the Eastern seaboard, and the rest of the continent was divided up between Britain, France, Spain and Russia.

  • Mongolian Empire was from Korea to Poland and Turkey.Not like this small.you noob.This like 2/3 land of original one.You did not showed the Thailand ,Vietnam,Poland,Isrial,Turk,Pa­rt of India,Syria,Part of Greece,and some Island of Malaysia

  • missed alot of empires :P

  • Lol dude french empire wasn't only in africa u noob

  • @TheKeZ1000 check the date, C.1918

  • @Allistermills Some of the borders are wrong..

  • There are also lots of B.C. empires...

  • I'm unimpressed. No mention of the Aztec, Inca, Chinese, Russian etc empires.

  • @AThousandYoung

    There were both Russian and Chinese empires featured. I'll add the American ones next time.

  • @Allistermills Wow you responded, and fast! Gotta give you props.

    I was looking for one in which all the contemporary empires were shown simultaneously, but couldn't find it. You'd see the Spanish Empire take over from the Aztec, etc. That would be awesome. But thanks for preparing this and again I am impressed you responded and so appropriately and constructively!

  • in 1788 PORTUGAL wasn't part of the Spanish EMPIRE! IN fact, Portgual was Spain only between a royal crises that last few years (1580 - 1640). In 1640 PORTUGAL was Independent. F.Y.I Portugal is one of the oldest country's in the entire world (1143 till now) so be carefull ok?!

  • @Doereis

    My mistake. Didn't mean to upset anyone. These maps need updating anyway. I'll make a better one when I have the chance.

  • @Allistermills french empire is in the canada too

  • @Allistermills

    Why is NATO on there... it's not an empire stupid.

  • England id older so hahaha! :D!

  • @Doereis PORTUGAL IS ONE OF THE OLDEST COUNTRYES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD DO U HEAR UR SELF WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT FUCKING ASSHOLE,TAKING FREE LAND WITH NO FIGHT ISNT THE SAME LIKE BLOOD BATTLE U FUCKING STUPID PORTUGAL ASSHOLE

  • In fact it is all completely wrong, India was completely under rule of the British Raj, there was no French India in 1918???

  • the Mongolian empire was up to Poland and half way through Turkey, The Ottoman empire was far to exaggerated it never went that far south into Africa or that far east into Iran/Persia.

    And like Mycrownofworms said the Spanish empire is far to exaggerated, the French empire wasn't that far into central Asia of India and didn't go as south in Africa as it was in British territory.

  • the netherlands wasn't under spanisch control in 1788. They became the seven united Netherlands.

  • In 1788 Spain did not have control over the Netherlands. Spain's control over the Netherlands (officially) ended in 1648. This map isn't entiry correct.

  • That spanish empire is a bit exaggerated. They didn't have that much of west america. And you should add Eastern America to British Empire.

  • at some point the did,

  • nope, not oregan territory and lower BC

  • @MyCrownOfWorms El imperio español fue el más grande de Europa.

  • good map but keep in mind that russian, british,spanish and etc were colonial empires while empires like mongol roman were conquered empires i mean like europeans didnt really conquer exept spanidh and portuguese because they just claimed the land thtas alll

  • Hi Rayhan, I made this map myself.

  • THIS is fascinating... Where did you find this? I would like to find a chronolgical moviing map, where can I find that?
