What country had the largest empire?

Answer 1

In history itself, the biggest Empire they say was the Mongol Empire, which was supposed to be twice the size of the Roman Empire, then of course, you had the roman Empire, then in more Modern times, you had Napoleons' Empire, and then the British Empire, which was an international empire during the imperialist era. During its peak, had possession of the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, most of Italy, parts of Germany, parts of France, and colonies in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. With the conquest of inland Mexico country North America, Peru, and the Philippines in the 16th century, Spain established overseas dominions on a scale and world distribution that had never been approached by its predecessors (the Mongol Empire had been larger but was restricted to Eurasia). Possessions in Europe, Africa, the Atlantic Ocean, the Americas, the Pacific Ocean, the far east qualified the Spanish Empire as attaining a global presence in this sense. Thus, the British Empire is dwarfed in comparison.

Spain had possession of North America with the exception of Canada and the English 13 Colonies.

Spain had possession of Central America.

Spain had possession of South America, not just Peru, with the exception of the Guyanas and Brazil.

That's in the New World, plus possessions in Europe and Asia.

The Spanish Empire in fact dwarfs the British Empire in comparison.
