Which Empires meant business and which didn't. Who did the talking and who did the walking. In other words, which Empires talked the talk and walked the walk. |

They were once empires. England was an empire, Spain was an Empire, all of them. They were worldwide powers at one time or another. Check your history. This is the definition of an Empire.Empire: A major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority. Spain was an empire because it ruled most of South America, Florida, California, and Philippines. It ruled for over 200 years. United States is an empire because it has a large territory because it owns Puerto Rico and it is considered the worldwide power of today. Germany/Russia (U.S.S.R) was an empire because it ruled over poland, romania, etc. it took over many countries and fused into one. France was an empire because it owned practically all of Canada and half of the island Ghana. Portugal was an empire (though not feared), owned portions of south America, mainly Brazil area. -I am a Political Scientist major, I know. Lol. All of them were empires at one time or another. Trust me on this. |

Spain and Portugal were once the biggest Empires, they even divided the world in two and had the exclusive right to all the oceans. |

Yup yup. Exactly true. However to answer this question, I believe Spain had a lot of influence in the world. I can bet my money that there are more people who speak spanish then there are who speak English and I mean naturally (without learning it from a school or as a 2nd language.) The Spanish Armada was one of the most feared. Yes they did get defeated, but just look on how much influence Spain had in South America, Central America, wow. Back then, you didn't want to cross paths with Spain. |

Not really. The Spanish Armada was one of the most feared armies in history. For many years the English and French kept away from Spain because they didn't want any comfrontations. |

Holland also did that. Spain and Portugal had the best ultramarine trades, so all other countries were really dependent of the Iberic economy to promote their own. That's why there were so many comfrontations between England, France and Holland, and Spain and Portugal. |

The British stayed away from all contries, not just Spain, British was attacked by alot of contries and only lost once to the Romans, the reason we own alot of contries is because they attacked us whilst we ere in there contrie (Like Africa) or we found it (Like America and Canada) |
