      **Full interactive map** with much more information including rise, fall, contributions, and population for each nation (click the empire):

      [**https://arshka.github.io/superpowers/**](https://arshka.github.io/superpowers/)

      **Data sources**: Territory borders and area data come from the [Cliopatria dataset]([https://github.com/Seshat-Global-History-Databank/cliopatria](https://github.com/Seshat-Global-History-Databank/cliopatria)) (part of the Seshat Global History Databank), an open-source geospatial dataset of ~1,600 polities from 3400 BCE to 2024 CE. Power rankings are a subjective composite index factoring in territorial extent, military reach, economic influence, and cultural impact at the time.

      Edit: Alright seems like I’m missing something on every continent except Antartica :), will add the ones that should belong

      Some additional tips op, India had other powerful empires which could be mentioned like Cholas , Marathas , Delhi Sultanate, Satvahans

      What the actual fuck was that blue colour doing on Greenland? Even with US troops there around the end of the war, Greenland never for one second was a part of any „american empire“.

      As long as people don’t take which ones didn’t show up too seriously, it is fairly interesting to look at. I don’t really see this as every superpower but more like some of the most expansionary polities of history

      Carthage getting disrespected while also still counting Byzantium as a superpower in the 1400s

    13. adahag on

      Missing a few ones. Carthage, Carolingian Empire, Swedish Empire and Parthia immediately come to mind. I guess you could also make a case for Funny Moustache Germany as well. But I really like the concept of this map. Really cool layout.

      I know and knew that Rome lasted a very long time comparatively but seeing how short the modern ones were/are…. No wonder it’s still remembered in folk memory etc.

      The srivijaya, majapahit, Khmer and Vijayanagara Empires are missing, as is the Chola Empire

      I appreciate you showing American and Canadian expansion using de facto control of the land rather than just accepting the settler-centric de jure treaties (like the Louisiana Purchase).

      It’s interesting that this clearly shows how the 18th and 19th century Eoropean empires were maritime empires.

      I sort of understand why you included it, but I don’t think you should count Iraq as US territory in 2007.

      I would recommend using the term “Major Power” since no state constituted as superpower before 1948. 

      “Great Power” is a term used in political science to describe a class of country that existed such that if any two of them fought, it would lead to a world war. They were the British Empire, France, Russia, Prussia/Germany, and Austria/Austria-Hungary.

      “Super Power” is a term used in political science to describe a class of country thst existed such that if any two of them fought, global thermonuclear war would end life on the planet. They were the British Empire, the USSR, and the United States.

      This is technologically impressive. Although a more complete data collection (Africa, Americas, Asia) may have been more accurate.
