The longest, most powerful empires in world history

The history of the world until now has seen many empires and dynasties, however, there are a number of empires that exist for a long time and are extremely powerful.

Roman Empire

This is the oldest surviving empire in history.

The Roman Empire is not only one of the most famous empires but also the oldest in history. It lasted from 27 BC - in 1453 AD. In total, this dynasty existed for 1,480 years. The empire expanded its territory into both Italy and much of the Mediterranean region.

The modern world has some traits inherited from the Roman Empire. The Romans took over and promoted Greek indigenous culture, passed on to generations after Greek architecture, philosophy and science. The Romans after following Christianity raised this religion from a small sect to one of the major religions of the world.

Roman law also affects all later legal systems of the Western world. Roman institutions also inspire the government system of many modern nations.

Kush Empire

The Kush Empire is also one of the most powerful and surviving empires in history.

The Kush Empire existed from 1070 BC - around 350 AD. The land that this empire plays is now the territory of the Republic of Sudan. Historians and scientists find very little political information about this empire. They only found very few documents about the monarchy that this empire pursued in the last years.

The economy of the Kush empire relied heavily on iron and gold trading.

Some evidence suggests that this empire was attacked by desert tribes. However, others have speculated that due to their reliance on iron resources, the empire destroyed the forest tremendously. It forces people to leave their homes to let the government burn forests to find iron.

The first Persian Empire

The once powerful Persian Empire.

The Persian Empire of the Achaemenid dynasty was founded by Cyrus the Great around 550 BC. This king has the title King of Kings (Shahanshah). Although the Persian Empire ended tragically in the hands of Alexander the Great (of the Kingdom of Macedonia) in 330 BC, the empire still left a long legacy for later development of civilizations. world and future empires. The Persian Empire was a major empire in human history, because it was the first real empire - it set the standard for how empires for future empires.

The Persian Empire above existed at a unique time in history, when most of the civilized world was concentrated in the Middle East or near the Middle East. As a result, the Persian Empire that dominated most of the Middle East at the time also ruled a larger proportion of the world population than any other empire in history. Specifically, in 480 BC, this empire had a population of approximately 49.4 million people, equal to 44% of the world population at that time.

The Persian Empire was the first empire to connect many regions of the world , including the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, India, Europe and the Mediterranean. This empire initiated the concept of empire in places like Greece and India.

Caliphate Kingdom

Arab Muslim Kingdom.

The Arab Empire , also known as the Caliphate, is a political institution founded by the Muslim prophet Muhammad. The empire included most of the Arabian peninsula at the time of Muhammad's death in 632. Calling it the Arab Empire would be more plausible as the Islamic Empire , because while Islam was rooted and spread. From this empire, later there were more empires of Muslims and dominated by Muslims but not Arabs.

The Arab Empire ended in existence around 900, although the Abbasid dynasty maintained its religious role as Caliphs in Baghdad until the city was destroyed by the Mongols in 1258. After 900, this empire was politically disintegrated, with the rise of many opposing dynasties, including many Turkic and Persian opponents, as well as rival Caliphates in Spain and Egypt. .

The Mongolian Empire

The Mong horse's horse shook for a while .

The Mongolian empire is another empire located on the periphery. This empire was a big surprise when it defeated the stronger and more populous enemies. This is the empire with the largest continuous territory in the world and is the empire using terrorist attacks against all enemies.

The empire was founded by Mongol leader Temujin. This leader took the title of Genghis Khan in 1206. The Mongol Empire first expanded by "gradually trimming" parts of Chinese territory as the former tribes had done before.

Although there are only about 2 million Mongols around the world, they can still serve most of the Middle East, Russia, and China. At their peak, they only encountered a few minor failures except for the unsuccessful Japanese invasion and the battle of Ain Jalut in 1260 against the Mamluk rulers in Egypt.

Mongol conquests have taken away the lives of millions of people. But then Mongolia opened up a era of peace and prosperity when trade expanded on their vast territory. In the long run, however, the Mongols proved ineffective in managing their empire - the empire was eventually divided into four khanate kingdoms, and then each kingdom was disintegrated or divided. less.
