Question
What are the major world empires?
Hello Henry.
Do you mean at the present time ? If so then there are no major territorial empires any more. The old European empires have largely disappeared, with only a few small territories remaining.
In economic terms the USA is predominant as its influence extends to all parts of the globe.
