The British Empire once covered over a quarter of the Earth's land area. Even the Mongols never managed that.

And by "once", it's not ancient history. It was 1920.

It's horrifying, and we're almost certainly responsible for more suffering than any other country on Earth, but also kind of impressive. There are just 22 countries we never invaded.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
