Mongols should have you beat in land mass.

Easily. That's a problem when you live on a tiny bleedin' island, ain't it? Not much bloody land mass from which to base one's 'empire' what.

Thats why they decided to take over everyone elses islands. Even claimed that land masses that were not, in fact, islands to be islands so they could take them over.

Warspite1

Yes, and we did it all rather well don't you think? Well, at least we did until the wheels started to come off rather rapidly after WWII anyway.

Thats because all you had to deal with until then were mostly French and Germans. Is it a coincidence that the empire went down the crapper when the Russians got seriously involved? I think not.

Warspite1

What like 1854?

Sure. Read some of the plans you and the frogs had before you landed. Instead you took one city, lost over a quarter of a million men (if the Turks are included, of course), gave the aforementioned city back and left ignominiously. Beginning of the end, buddy, beginning of the end.

Are English upset about the Caliphates, Persians and Mongols beating them to the punch for 'popularity'?

Honestly, if you look at popularity, the UK Empire is about as popular as that poxy Italian kid in a sandlot pick up game of soccer. Kind of an also ran. A top 20 finisher, maybe, nothing more.

Dude, thats really hitting below the belt. They spent hundreds of years convincing themselves that the fuzzy wuzzies actually like them.

Warspite1

Yes, but invariably they did. With (obviously) a few notable exceptions, the British Empire brought prosperity to "conquered" territories - unlike some empire building countries who shall remain nameless.

Wise words from history ... (?)

"An officer should be comely and above all else confident in his own dress and bearing. He should, where possible, eat a small piece of meat each morning with molasses and beans. He should air himself gracefully when under fire and never place himself in a position of difficulty when being shot at. He should eat his meals comfortably and ahead of his soldiers, for it is he whom is more important tactically on the battlefield and therefore he who should be well nourished. His hair should be well groomed and if possible he should adorn a moustache or similar facial adornment. When speaking to his soldiers he should appear unnerved and aloof and give direction without in any way involving himself personally in the execution of arduous or unofficer like duties. He should smoke thin panatellas except when in the company of ladies where he should take only a small gin mixed with lemon tea. He should be an ardent and erudite gentleman and woo the ladies both in the formal environment and in the bedroom where he should excel himself beyond the ordinary soldier with his virulent love making prowess.

Connecticut man, Robert Michelson, busted after calling 911 to ask about growing marijuana


Robert Michelson, 21, was busted by Farmington Conn. cops after he called 911 to ask a dispatcher how much trouble he'd get in for growing marijuana:




A Connecticut man's plan to grow marijuana went up in smoke after he called 911 and asked how much trouble he would get into for growing the drug.

"I was just growing some marijuana and I was just wondering what, how much, you know, trouble you can get into for one plant," a not-so-bright Robert Michelson asked on Thursday night.

When the dispatcher asked if there was an active crime in progress, the 21-year-old answered "possibly."

Dispatchers traced the call to Michelson's home in Farmington, where cops found drug paraphernalia and a small amount of pot.

Michelson admitted he bought seeds and equipment online for growing.

He was released on a $5,000 bail. As he left the police station, he gave dispatchers two middle fingers.

"Presumably for doing such a good job," police said.

Interesting - could be close. The stat I recall reading is that ours was the biggest in land area.

I suspect that if you put Oz and the Kiwis and then Canada together, then lump in what was a very large part of Africa, I suspect ours comes out top, but having said that, I do not know the exact boundaries of the Mongol empire so I may be wrong.....

http://www.worldsbiggests.com/2010/06/top-10-largest-empires-in-world-history.html

Interesting. 250,000 sq miles....you beat them with the Victoria Desert.

I totally call foul on that website. They calculated the UK empire on a cumulative basis, including Eastern US, Canada and the aforementioned Australia and New Zealand in the 1922 figures. They even padded their numbers with a portion of Antarctica!

Canada became largely independent in 1867, Australia and New Zealand were all but independent by 1922 as well. Hardly seems appropriate to include their totals in this 1922 number as these were part of the "Empire" at that point on paper only.

ETA: Don't even get me started on why the Eastern US shouldn't have been in that calculation...

Jealous. Just because you can't have an empire of your own.

"Who's your daddy?" was our mantra about the time a certain former Empire came a beggin' to us for secondhand destroyers about 65 years ago or so ago. "Big daddy"? Don't think so.

Maybe you were amongst the most relevant Empires once upon a time. Kind of like any number of Chinese empires or that Persian one. The Romans were right up there too, or so I'm lead to believe.

Your shoddy accounting for primacy is rather fascinating to behold, however. Please explain again how territorial landmasses for non-imperial territory can be calculated for land mass calculations once more? On second thought, don't bother. You'd probably rationalize your accounting tricks like you did that bit about the tax on tea. We all know how that turned out for y'all.
