  10. Ah... the Spanish lake. :-) The British Empire was not the biggest empire as you were mislead to believe. Only hypocrites count deserts with less resources but not oceans with more resources and more profitable trade routes. The Iberian Empire was the combination of two empires, and under the Spaniard Felipe II, it shared no oceans with any rival. The Brits were still stuck on their gloomy islands at this time, not yet following the Iberian trailblazers to America and beyond. The Turks were the only ones to share waves with Spain at this time, and that was just in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. The Atlantic Ocean was Spanish. The Indian Ocean was Spanish (under the Spanish Emperor; all Portuguese realms were his, and therefore Spanish property). The Pacific Ocean was Spanish (and the samurais got whupped at Cagayán). Compare the Spanish hegemony when the Portuguese were second-class citizens, to the British Empire that ALWAYS HAD TO SHARE THE WAVES WITH THE FRENCH as a map of French islands in every ocean in the world shows. They shared with Russians and others as well including Spaniards who destroyed the British Armada at Cartagena de Indias. Since most of earth is water, Spain had the biggest empire in history, and THEN the second-place Brits, and THEN the Mongol Empire. If you play Age of Empires 2, check out my realistic map of the Pacific Ocean which has from between Australia, China and North America, plus most of Asia and the Arctic (which during the Age of Exploration was unviable and therefore irrelevant). Brits sing "Britannnia rules the waves!" How cute. El Imperio español durante la Unión ibérica reinaba sobre ¡muchas más! :-)
