      And English is spoken as an international language by the USA, which was the one who imposed it after WW2, and not by England, which even during the hegemonic period of the British Empire, the language of culture was French and not English. Get out of Britain and visit other places in the friendly world, there are countries that have a very rich geography, history and culture.

    For those curious, the United States, as an empire in the traditional sense, would encompass its present day fifty states, several islands, and present day Philippines at its peak before 1946 hovering at over 3.9 million square miles. Total land area would exceed that of its direct competitor the Empire of Japan and Japan's project known as the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere in 1942 at around 3.3 million square miles. With its 3.9 million, 1946 United States would also exceed the Xiongnu Empire's 3.47 million. In short, USA is between the Xiongnu Empire and the Yuan Dynasty.
    Alexander the Great did most of the work to expand the Macedonian Empire which makes the Macedonian Empire an interesting case of an empire created almost within one generation or within one generation. Kublai Khan is fine, but he semi-inherited his empire.
    Napoleon's First French Empire should be between Wei Dynasty and Byzantine Empire if it were on this list, but I imagine that some of those European countries (aka client states) he conquered had colonies of their own around the world which makes calculations complicated.

      Ottoman Empire didn't Conquered the world for God rule yes they did but it was another thing it was for Muslims to have a better life Because Turkey 🇹🇷 was in control of Mangol empire and Roman empire and at that time a Muslim Tribe Saw that and they made a plan that now we will make our own empire and that's how it started + The Founder of Ottoman Empire was son of that Tribe leader he saw a dream that a tree is growing from his chest and it is covering Earth 🌍 3 continents and look what happened Ottoman Empire ruled 3 continents bruhhh And You can check history Ottoman Empire never made difference between Muslims and Non Muslims

    Cool video, but I have to make some clarifications: the image you used to identify the Ephtalite empire isn't directly related, because it's the Taq Qisra, a palace in Ctesiphon (modern Iraq) built by the Sasanian king (šahan šah) Xusraw I; then the principal Achaemenid Persian capital city was Persepolis in Fars, not Babylon in Mesopotamia
