Jeez I asked for a definition of empire. I’m sure that a resident of the most horrific colonial power in all history knows what it means. So tell me.

Edit: lol it just struck me how funny it is for a Belgian to say the USA’s hegemony will be forgotten, most living humans couldn’t even find you guys on a map.

So you are unaware of the goings on in the year 1776?

How about you define empire? I’m sure Leopold II left lots of decorative plaques for you to learn about it on.

Probably from the moment of our emancipation from England. Occupied more territory than most European states ever had at that moment.

If you want to be pedantic about it how about when we occupied the width of an entire contenant? September 9th 1850

We didn’t spring fully formed from Zeus’s forehead to fund the destruction of the Reich.

Damn and they say American education is bad.
