  1. It wasn't one of the largest. It was THE biggest, surpassing the British although the Brits and gringos and others deceived by anti-Spanish Black Legend propaganda move the goalpost from "most of earth owned" to "most land owned" when earth is more water than land. The Brits had to share all oceans with the French as a map of French islands in every ocean proves. Even after beating Napoleon with German help, they had to share every ocean because they did not extirpate the French bases everywhere. On the other hand, the first nation that went around the world, España, had during its zenith in the Iberian Union with Portugal subordinate, a monopoly over most oceans in the universe including the biggest one, the Pacific Ocean where no nation could defeat the Spanish at sea for a long time. The Spanish Emperor Felipe II was more glorious than any British leader ever including the racist Victoria. The empire fell because the Synagogue of Satan ordered Felipe II to sabotage the Spanish Armada by putting an inexperienced man in command, sending the armada without finishing preparations making sure the English knew about it in advance, forbidding flexibility, forbidding chasing the English pirates, and ordering a stupid detour around the entire archipelago when things went "north" according to plan. Also, masons colluded across the Atlantic Ocean to bring down the Spanish Empire later on with independence movements such as by the mason Bolívar, an idiot who helped the Anglosphere rise by making sure they had weak and divided prey to capitalize on.
