Plus @Syenite Indeed

Every empire had wet dreams of conquering the worlds

Most still do

But have to be more subtle about it

british empire was the best, change my mind

When?

Umm

No

The Romans

?

the most successful in history i think?

im not super educated

I mean ultimately none of them were successful

Britain is not anywhere close to the power it once was.

true

And Rome lost to Germany

German barbarian tribes no less

Back

@Syenite And America lost the first war they fought as an independent nation

Yeah but America went on to win. Rome didn't

Rome conquered the civilized world back then

And lasted for centuries

britain took over most of the world

Techinically most nation's back then achieved dominance

Yeah but that is a different time

Lol you can't compare different centuries of civilizations to debate their success

No one was even living in north America then

Save for the first nations

Language barrier, ffs

What I mean is

Many empires, back at their time periods, achieved or almost did achieve world dominance

Most of civilization back then was centered in the middle East, Europe, and Asia and some of north Africa

And then, by the logic back then, The Romans did achieve complete dominance

Get my viewpoint?

But they wouldn't be able to have done that at any different time of the world

True

Warfare was a lot different

To be fair

Like their strategy was mostly stock together and have more troops and bash the armies together until you win

If they had gone against say the Guerilla warfare during Vietnam they wouldn't have lasted long

Or even against the Americans when they fought for independence
