Empires & Dynasties
The Mongol Empire
The largest contiguous land empire ever assembled in world history was built, remarkably, by unifying scattered nomadic tribes that had previously spent generations fighting each other.
The British Empire
An empire so vast and spread across so many time zones that it was always daytime somewhere within its borders — hence the phrase, "the empire on which the sun never sets."
The Ottoman Empire
An empire that lasted over 600 years — long enough to span from the age of medieval knights all the way to the aftermath of World War I.
The Roman Empire
An empire whose roads and aqueducts were engineered so well that some of them were still functioning well over a thousand years after Rome itself had fallen.
