The 100 Largest Empires in History with Flags
Ойын-сауық
This video shows history's 100 largest empires.
Note:
Some empires may look larger or smaller than others even if an empire is said to be bigger in the video. This is because of the map projection, which can distort size. This is also because this list is subjective to interpretation and there is no definitive list of the 100 largest empires. My list is mainly based off of the list on wikipedia, but with a few tweaks here and there. Some flags on the list aren't always national flags, some symbolize the state, the ruling dynasty, or are military flags. My list is not perfect.

Hi from russia
The British Empire was the largest empire the world has ever seen. The British Empire covered 13.01 million square miles of land - more than 22% of the earth’s landmass. The empire had 458 million people in 1938 - more than 20% of the world’s population.

Thanks for displaying the Tang Dynasty's proper flag 😉 However, the size of the Tang and Ming are bigger than shown in the video. For instance, the Ming controlled the port of Palembang (and thus was the only Chinese empire to have a directly-controlled overseas colony), but that isn't shown in the video.

The Spanish Empire was technically significantly bigger depending on how you look at it. It had occupied the Nootka Territory in NW America (even if it didn’t enforce it), Spanish Sahara and northern Morocco, Equitorial Guinea, Spanish Netherlands, and parts of what is now Italy and France.

The video is done based on their peak sizes, not every territory they ever owned. Hence why the British one doesn’t include the US. Spain didn’t own all of those lands you said at the same time and ultimately the Spain shown in the video was Spain at its peak territorial height
