Bit late for this but I'll say it anyway. Sad to hear a history teacher repeating the lies about Spanish Empire being genocidal etc. Yet again there is no surprise since it was the British who spread that tale in the first place. You might want to deepen in the way both Empires aproached their taking of the New World.

We all know the greatest world empire is Principality of Sealand

It's time for Mr Terry to make an empire tier list like the rest of the cool kids

Mr terry and drew durnil are a chaotic duo

I'm confused why there's even a "Viking Empire" on the list. The closest thing they had to any kind of central power was the Danelaw, but its leadership was constantly contested. You could maybe group in the Normans, but that would be reaching in my opinion.

If you watch more of Drew's videos, consider each of the entries on his list as a player from Civilization. More than likely how he rated them.

Okay so Rome and Mongolia definitely deserve to be top tier but so does the British and Spanish Empires because of how vastly influentials those Empires are.

When Drew told that Abbasid Empire was a prequel to Ottoman Empire I felt phsical pain as a Turk

Imagine having this as your history teacher on highschool, would truly be an amazing one.

Modern legal system was literally made by Romans. It just evolved in 2 different directions: British and Continental (Continental further divided into German and French). And now it's worldwide (Separated into these 2 cathegories, obviously with differences between 2 countries of the same system). So yeah, their influence was crazy.

I also think Ottoman Empire should be a tier or so higher. I might be wrong but they're pretty high at one of the long-lasted empires in history, right? Around 600-ish years or so?

"If it's not exactly what I think, we're going to have drama"

Internet be like:

While the Holy Roman Empire indeed didn't do being an "empire" very well, due to lack of cohesion, it still needs to be way higher up. The cultural and economic importance in Europe was significant, especially if we also look at the influence of the Hanseatic League. All things considered, the HRR probably had more impact on its time than some other empires, which were big and more centralized, but kind of... just there and not doing much else.

The only neighbouring country to France that accomplish more than France in empire is spain, and that was around 1700 where France was stronger than spain.

Yes, please do more Drew content! You are both amazing creators and I think could have a lot of fun interacting with each other this way😊

To summarize: drew made a list. Terry's reaction: OOOOOF

The level of historical education - Burger King

Charles V’s empire would be interesting, its a combo of the HRE , early spanish empire and Burgundy as well as parts of Italy

Drew's tier list nicely shows how little we're (in general, considering most of Europe, NA and Australia, ofc it differs a bit from one country to another) teached about some of those (Persian empire for example) and also that sometimes when you look at map some of those seems bigger or smaller than they were.

Terry, you should make your own tier list.
