There have been a great many large empires throughout history, each giving way to another, just as the British empire gave way to the USA. The Spanish and French also had huge empires, as too did the Dutch and Portuguese. The evidence of this can be seen in the languages spoken around the world, as well as, historically, the observance of religions eg. the spread of Christianity by the Romans or of Islam by the Turks. The term superpower however tends to refer to countries who maintain power on a global stage. In this sense the British Empire probably came closest, getting so far as to take over parts of China, the Middle East, India, large parts of Africa, Australia, and of course North America.
