They supported a revolt in Ionia which had a majority Greek population, culturally speaking.

[@bvillafuerte765]

Good video but you have to redo it because you forgot to include the Spanish empire, which was one of the most powerful from the 15th century to the 18th century, remaining stable until the 19th century and continuing as one today even though its extracontinental provinces are very small. In addition, the disparagingly called Byzantines were Romans, specifically Eastern Romans.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Couldn’t we just include the “Byzantine” empire in with the Romans after all it was founded by Roman’s, they called themselves Roman’s, they were Roman’s just with the capitol in Constantinople and lived along side the western half. The term Byzantines was not even used until after the empire as a whole fell in 1453

I know this is an English channel and there is a lot of disinformation in English history around the Spanish Empire but I think it should be on this list, it's the first global superpower, lasted a few hundred years and most important it left a mark that still is quite visible today (maybe only comparable to that of the Roman Empire)

The western Roman empire technically started in 753 BC - 476 AD.

[@halfdanraggnarsson441]

Was you there?🤡

[@kurtisrichards1082]

But until Augustus it was a republic so it can’t really be considered an empire until that time period

[@ofallmyintention9496]

It was a kingdom from 753 BC to 509 BC Then a republic from 509 BC to 27 BC Then an empire from 27 BC to 476 AD (the later date in the west only, of course)

[@amg9878]

Basically Rome story started in 753 BC and ended in 1453 with the fall of Constantinople, almost 2200 years. The First Roman Empire ( after divided into Western and Eastern ) started in 27 BC and ended in 476 AD ( with the fall of Rome and the Western Empire ) , but before that Rome was already a superpower and one of the greatest civilization in Europe and the world, just think that Julius Caesar, one of the greatest generals in history, lived before the actual date of the beginning of the Roman Empire.

Wrong! The Japanese never defeated the Mongols it was a storm that saved Japan. Plus? Japan wasn't even worth conquering it was resources poor, Japan was very weak, and the Japanese had nothing to offer. It's like picking between boxes of gold or picking old & used shoes.

[@dayandlight111]

The Russians(muscovites) were village dwellers in middle ages, their settlement was small and insignificant. Moscow was used to fall under a lot of steppe attacks. The last time, steppe people burned moscow to the ground, it was in the 16th century with Crimean tatars. It is really only from the the 16th century onwards that Russia starts being something

Ottoman empire like Mongol empire , was mostly like a vulture empire , in the sense that unlike the Persian, Roman, Greeks , Turco-Mongols were uncivilised savage hordes who lacked high cultural backgound and therefore they occupied and appropiated other civilisations . e.g. none of Ottoman cities were built by Turks , but rather all Ottoman Cities ( currently in Anatolia and Greek part of modern Turkey ) were built by the Greek, and other non-turkic indigenous inhabitants of the region.
