WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-2: -1) 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -By the middle of the thirteenth century, the Mongols had formed the largest contiguous empire in the world, uniting Chinese, Islamic, Iranian, Central Asian, and nomadic cultures within an overarching Mongol sensibility.

Detailed explanation-4: -Whilst terrestrial empires are often contiguous – meaning all joined up – thalassocracies, or sea empires, do not need to be. The British Empire is an example of this, as it captured territories across the world – islands and ports as much as countries – through its incredibly powerful navy.
