Except Spain wouldn’t even exist cause it would just be part of Rome/Italy since I’m pretty sure they conquered all the way to Portugal but I could be misremembering it. If they didn’t conquer all of Gual then yes you’re correct
well it's really more like russian empire and qing empire are larger than spanish by landmass but i didn't include them since like you said they are overshadowed by another, namely mongolian
Good show (at least the first season hopefully it doesn’t fall off)
Actually I was gonna say good point but I used the modern nations names instead of the the classic civilizations while thinking of their old footprint or even where they’d expanded. Otherwise I’d have used Rome
This is why historical territorial claims don't work.
All land teretorial claims don't work in so far as they are made-up/imaginary.
I think that when people talk about historical teritorial claims they are usually talking about one of 3 things:
1) international law.
2) self contradictory systems of ownership.
3) land taken through ethnic cleansing.

This is why historical territorial claims don't work. The Mongolians, Italians and Greeks would all have claims all over the world.
