The largest historical size of every European country

Known errors to be improved in a later reupload:
1) Syria, Tunisia and Lebanon not included for the French Empire
2) Estonia had more territory in 1919 during its war of independence

4) The Roman Empire peaked at 117 AD, not 177 AD

The Spanish Empire reached its greatest expansion in 1580, during the Iberian Union with Portugal under Philip II of Spain, when the Netherlands and Belgium were still Spanish territory, as well as the Americas.

[@mrmagno5186]

As a Spaniard, I assure you that they had much more territory in 1803 with Louisiana than with the Spanish Netherlands, since in the time of Philip II the conquest of the Americas had not materialized, probably one of the later Austrians who preserved the Netherlands. exceeded that territorial measure

[@Lka223]

Actually, there are two mistakes at Romania. First of all, The Greater Romania was bigger than the one you showed. That was a version of Romania that was without a part of Transylvania. Second, The Greater Romania is not the biggest version of Romania. King Burebista of the Dacians had the biggest state located in that area. I know that Dacians are not Romanians, but since you put The Roman Empire as the biggest version of Italy, I think it's fair to take into consideration this fact for Romania as well. I hope my comment will help you

The Romans enforced their culture across the empire. More significantly, they enforced it in Italia, their home province. Once devoid of taxation. Modern Italians descend from the Romans and Romanized Italian peoples. They then got influences from numerous outside invaders, Arabs, Berbers, and tons of Germans (ostrogoths, lombards and the HRE) I think it's fair to say Italy can claim Roma heritage and ancestry, with the modern Italian empire being that. The modern empire, an attempt to recreate the ancient glory of Rome...which pathetically failed, good job Mussolini.
