World Empires Quiz: Name The Empire By The Fun Fact

All roads lead to Rome. The sun never sets on the British Empire. The most powerful empires in history at times encompassed a quarter of the world’s landmass and accounted for up to a quarter of the global population.

From the Mongols to the Incas, empires across the globe brought us such inventions as paper currency and chocolate, built up such astounding structures as Angkor Wat and the Colosseum, and constructed road systems, irrigation systems, and city structures, paving the way for civilization as we know it today.

But what goes up must come down, and that’s what each of these empires has in common: they fell. The bigger you are, the harder you fall, so more often than not, these great dynasties fell thunderously in bloody world wars, ravaging infectious disease, or in years-long military campaigns that replaced one empire with another.
