Biggest Empires: Powerful States Throughout History

[@josephgrassilli8521]

The incorrect borders are giving me anxiety lol

[@MrKaizor]

[@DongDumb]

Same

[@Paul-ft9dn]

No mention of Mughal empire or Russian Empire? Both were very powerful at their height. Why isn't the British empire shown at it's territorial height? You seemed to have skipped it's territories in Africa, some of Asian territories, and the middle east. Britain ruled a third of Africa's population as well as it's most geo strategically important territories and had a dominant role in the Middle East. Also, the most powerful state in history, the USA after WW2 is somehow not mentioned lol.

[@irispaiva]

They used balloons, both for recognition and bombardment

[@ChodaStanks]

@@irispaivalol but Prussia aka Krupp co did not invent anything near an “anti-aircraft gun”. If anything it was the french Mitrailleuse gun that was closer to an anti-aircraft gun. And they didnt use it to shoot down balloons. So this is still completely off

[@michelwardynski6498]

The title of this offering is “The Biggest Empires” but only the Persian and Macedonian Empires are actually shown at their most expansive territorial extent which is what the title claimed this would be about. You show the expansion of the British Empire and talk about it being the biggest ever but cut off that expansion before it extends into Africa where it eventually colonizes 40% of that continent along with multiple areas is Southeast Asia that got left out. According to this video Napoleon only managed to conquer Luxembourg, Netherlands, Belgium and a little bit of Italy. What about Spain? All of its South American colonies broke away during the Napoleonic Wars because Spain was too busy being occupied by French troops. He made his brother the King of Italy, renamed Switzerland, disbanded the Holy Roman Empire and reorganized its territories into far fewer states/principalities etc which they kept after his defeat and even carved the Duchy of Warsaw off of the far end of Prussia. But according to your map he only managed to occupy the smallest neighbors along France’s eastern border. I’m not trying to troll you. I like your graphics but it’s important to get your facts right. Viewer of this kind of material tend to know a lot about the subject matter already and will eat you alive if you don’t get the details right - especially when the details are the size of entire countries.

[@subashira]

There’s difference between literal political borders and spheres of influence; to claim Spain as a part of Napoleonic France in the political sense is inaccurate.

[@SiGa-i1r]

No. The British was not the biggest. Only if you count land but not oceans which have much more value than wastelands. Type in "the British empire was not the biggest."

[@subashira]

@@SiGa-i1r This has to be the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen.

[@georgebailey8179]

@@SiGa-i1r No empire contains oceans. If we were to include them, then I think it's safe to say the Royal Navy would have made all of the world's oceans British, for an even bigger advantage. I looked up "the British Empire was not the biggest", and the only counter I found was the Achaemenid Empire, because it had a larger percentage of the world's population. But I think that's silly; the British Empire had far more land and people than the Achaemenid Empire. Saying it was smaller seems odd, given that.

he skipped 100s of years of history between byzantine and mongols!! i can't help but suspect that his personal politics made him skip over islamic caliphates which were some of the largest empires in history with impacts still felt today. Also notice how he doesn't mention that it was ottomans finished off the byzantine empire after years of decline. Plus he skipped mughals, safavids, timurid empire and so many others. this is borderline misinformation

[@jimchen3762]

As brief overview, this video is informative but still not enough research has been done. The most powerful Chinese dynasty is Han and Tang, which are not mentioned at all. The land conquered by Juli khan is totally wrong as at the time mongols are divided. The massive land mongols conquered are technically under ogedei khan

[@gemthepolyglot3258]

I like the formatting and the video animation editing clearly took some effort, but I’d like to offer some constructive criticism. This list is very Eurocentric, and skips many of the great empires of other continents. Africa, for instance, hardly had any markings on it at all. There were many great empires in Africa that are less known to the world, including but not limited to the Zulus, Mali, Ghana and Kongo empires. Even when talking about the French and British Empires I was surprised that the colonization of Africa wasn’t included on your map. In Asia the mongols and the Qing were briefly mentioned, but many if not most of the Chinese Dynasties were just as impressive, not to mention how big the Empire of Japan stretched at its height. Other important empires in Asia might also include the Indian and Muslim empires and caliphates that contributed much to our current understanding of science and mathematics. In the Americas there are also great empires prior to colonialism. The Aztecs, Mayans and Incas (although mentioned) were not represented on the map. I’d also like to request that more research be done on historical facts. Contrary to common belief WWI was not started by Germany (although they definitely escalated it, but then again, who didn’t back then?), snd many facts about WWI and WWII were a bit mixed up. Thanks for making an interesting video that visually shows history on a map, but for sure there is room for improvement.
