subjected my great Bohemian "empire" all in all it didnt really try to take shit over just be left alone to which several crusades where launched against them.
>No one loves the Austrian Empire
yea sure of course i do. honestly worse true empires could have taken hold of Bohemia and later did but still. they only tired to suppress chez culture (not genocide.) didn't get it done though clearly.

Why is Japan listed twice? You really couldn't think of another empire?

t. Brit

Ottoman Empire

Viking Empire (I know it wasn't centralized or an actual empire but i still got a boner for how far their influence reached)

British Empire

And what this nigger said Can't help the nationalistic feels

>lots of cool wars with eastern Europe
They were the bad guys user

>IMPERIUMMOMANUM

yeah I liked that too

It still amazes me that the Ottoman empire only ended less than a century ago.

To be fair, the bad guys are always the coolest.

Favorite empire? Do you even have to ask?
IMPERIVM ROMANVM! SPQR!

The Austrian Empire, hands down wins the award for the greatest anthem of all times

How could you leave out the Mongol empire? The largest continuous empire in human history.

frankly the 1400-1700 period is overlooked in historical movies/tv shows a lot

Wait a second, do you mean...

I kind of like the Inca in a "You tried" sort of way.

Kek
Ottoman. I really like their architecture, find the internal politics and their military history to be really interesting, and for some reason I like seeing the changing stances in religious freedom over time. For anyone that hasn't read it yet, I would highly recommend The Ottoman Centuries, by Baron Kinross.
