Most influental empires

Is not the same influence for every empire, the Spanish start the colonization, the roman start the unification, the british... Well, is just big lmao, mongol empire conquest of half of the knew world etc...

My list is:
1. Roman
2.Spanish
3.British

1. Rome is the obvious choice
2. British for kick starting the Scientific Revolution
3. Spanish for initiates the Columbia Exchange

Minoan
Greek
Roman
Franks
German
Anglo

Chinese
Russian
Ottoman
British
Spanish

all you feel is envy for Romania.

Unironically the American Empire. Globalization it's just Pax Americana

As much as I hate to admit it, America is indeed the most influencial force on the planet and has singlehandedly destroyed or is in the course of destroying national and regional cultures of the entire world.

HOWEVER, America is not an Empire by any stretch of the imagination, and therefore doesn't count.

Would probably replace ottomans with some chinese dynasty, like qin or han
Otherwise I pretty much agree with OP here

>Iran
>Afghanistan
>not under european control
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Why has no one mentioned this guy's Empire. For something so short-lived it had a momentous influence on history, both directly and indirectly.

1. Ashkenazi אַשְׁכֲּנָזִים - World Wide Control

Roman
Greek/Makedonian
British
Spanish
Portoguese

Phoenocians never had an empire

1.Roman
2.Achemenid
3. Chinese (over multiple dynasties)
4. British
5. Spanish
6. Russian

Roman for law
British for technological advancements
Portuguese for nautical advancements

Romania is not an empire, and it never will be one

>the british... Well, is just big lmao
just big, yeah, it's not as if they spread their language, legal system, science, technology, religion and sports to every continent

I genuinely want to know if the people omitting the USA from their lists of the 5 most influential empires in history are simply asspained or actually that stupid.

>mfw all the countries surrounding us have been empires at some point of their existence, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, Kievan Rus
>mfw even Moldavia's name, which currently is a made up Russian puppet state, exists since 1359 and we exist as Romania since 1859

ottoman-sama annex bls ;__;

Roman
British
Portuguese
Spanish
Ming
Umayyad

No particular order

>French
>Greek(Macedonian)
>Islamic

Just an offshoot, part of the Anglo club pleb.

Rome
American
British

>Never been colonized by Europe
>Japan

This one is perfect.

>having outside powers meddle in your affairs and boss you around a bit is colonization

Right.
Alexander Hellenized much of the Middle East.

My list would go like this

Persian.
Chinese.
Greek.
Roman.
Arabic
Mongol.
Ottomans.
Spanish.
British.

These are all the great empires of history in chronological order. All of those empires ruled over significant percentages of humanity's population and extended their culture to the world.

1. Poland

after the nukes they had an american led puppet regime set up and a million military bases installed..
colonised

1. Arabian
2. Roman
3. Assyrian/Babylonian
4. Chinese
5. British

Why isn't Iran green? Alexander conquered that place.

>Ottoman
>Not Seljuq

>No one mention the Mughal Empire

As one of the world's most influential? No. I'm glad no one has. Except you poo in loo.

Britain, Rome, Mongol, Mughal, Ottoman

the chinese empire was a fallen tree in the forest maybe making a sound, maybe not

1) British
>industrial revolution
>largest empire
>founded usa
>Spread language and actually the only global hegemon
2) Spanish empire
>first great european colonisers
>colonised two continents
>largely spoken language
>great explorers
>large empire
3) Napoleon's empire
>shaped modern Europe
>arguably responsible for Germany and the world wars
4) Roman empire
>provided the basis for law and republican systems in the western world
>not much lasting relevant influence
5) Islamic empires
>The golden age of Islam contributed lots to science and maths

Before any butthurt romefags come in, just ask yourself what has the roman empire done for the modern world? It collapsed and after that Europe went into dark ages.

They didn't found the USA, if anything they did their darnedest to quash its inception.

Where's America

1. Roman
2. Mongolian
3. American
4. British
5. Napoleon France

I suppose i should've said "they founded what was to become the USA". Britain laid the foundations and the principles by which the country is run. They started the technology, culture, language and political systems.

>mongolian above british
Literally what the fuck did the mongols do? The british created the globalised connected world you see today along with most of it's inventions and were partly responsible for the spread of a global language. The mongols were literally barbarians that raided, got bored, died and arguably founded russia.

No Rome no civilisation advancement hombre

No centralisation
No platform work laid out that literally every empire since was we wuzzing
No order
No colonisation of Europe
No worldly order
We'd all still be in mudhuts if it wasn't for deus volt

2. German Empire (1848-1849)
3. Austro-Hungarian Empire
4. Holy Roman Empire

How is the ottoman empire influential anywhere besides the places it conquered?

This is the only truth.

...

Sounds nice too

the french? what a laugh

maybe if you're an african tribesman

>the french? what a laugh
>Civil code
>Metric system
>Republicanism
Geez how uninfluential have le frogs been le XD? Look mom le niggers XD!!!!!

Roman, British, Spanish, Greek, Mongol

1. Rome
2. America
3. Britain
4. Tang

Not an empire in the current colloquial sense, but it could be argued that NATO the west are all a part of America's informal empire.

This. I wouldn't include America, not even remotely an empire.

Do you honestly believe that all these things wouldn't have achieved by someone other than the Roman Empire?
>platform work that literally every empire since was we wuzzing
>No colonisation of Europe
The Roman Empire isn't to thank for these.

>the wide spread of democracy
I would say that France was the one to widespread "democracy".

POWER GAP

8. Dutch

>british
>most influential

but 90% of british subjects didn't have any major change in their lives, and probably didn't even know who "ruled" them. day to day life in india (the vast majority of their empire) barely changed. Compared to empires like the Spanish (completely overhauled both the religious and societal systems), Mongols (completely demolished half of Asia, collapsed the Arab ascendancy in the middle east), and hell even Russian (turned half of the eurasian landmass from nomadic pagan/muslim steppe peoples into orthodox sedentary peasants), they did jack shit.

further proof that Veeky Forums is just /pol/-lite and no one here actually knows jack shit.

>I would say that France was the one to widespread "democracy".
After the French revolution the only monarchy in Europe was Britain. After the revolts of the XIX Spain,Sweden and France join the group. After WWI and decolonization Americans lobbyed democracy world wide

The first true global empire were certainly the Achaemenid Persians.

Romania: WE WUZ CAESARS N SHIEEET

>global empire

The first true global empire is Portuguese Empire. For their empire spanned from America, Europe, Africa to Asia

Nope.

Name one empire did that before the Portuguese

>Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan not green

>it's another "le end of history" episode

we kicked your ass cracker

based KARA BOGA

>Starts with Rome
>Doesn't write in latin
>Doesn't even use latin numerals
If you're most famous for arches, aqueducts and togas then your civilization is a meme. It is impossible however to imagine life without British influence

>>Doesn't write in latin
>What's the Latin Alphabet
>What are the Romance languages?

>What's the Latin Alphabet
So Rome's relevance is vicarious... because it's letters were adopted by Germanic peoples who spoke Germanic languages? Do you think those characters were designed by Romulus himself? They were Greek (a more worthy civilization) and borrowed from the Phoenician which in turn have their roots in Egypt, from there we're probably not far from some monkey drawing nonsense in the sand.
Anyway the only reason they caught on is because they were popular with the clergy who practiced a profoundly un-roman Hebrew religion.
>What are the Romance languages?
to be completely honest, I barely know. French? Romanian? largely and increasingly irrelevant tongues.
You're probably an amerimutt wop trying to justify his S.P.Q.R tattoo

Go back to school please.

What so I can learn how to build aqueducts? Or will I read the high minds of Anglo-Saxons which is what you do when you take respectable disciplines in respectable schools.
Isaac Newton contributed more too human history in his early 20s than the Romans.

these. Rome, Spain, and Britain are the only true answers.

>doesn't even write in latin
kek the iq on this guy

What ferdora tier responses. Sorry I've not watched as much rickard and mortimer as you

The South was "Țeara Rumânească" (Romanian Land) since 1330. It's the same thing as Magyarország (Magyar country), Deutschland (German land) or England (Land of the Angles).
During 1948 – 1965 it was officially "Republica Populară Română" (Romanian People's Republic) not "România" so Romania simply vanished in that period?

what else response do you expect for typing stupid shit like that? what'd you think this is, cyrillic script? lmao

You probably meant "doesn't even talk in latin" but you're still a dumbshit
