Best Answer

The Portuguese Empire. Interestingly, it was the first and last colonial empire, starting with the Occupation of Ceuta in 1415, right up until 1999, the handover of Macau to China, or even 2002, when East Timor was formally granted independence. That's almost 600 years of imperial rule!
