Question
If you were to ranks the French Empire (Napoleon Bonaparte, etc). where do they ranks in the top 10.
Hello Henry.
Napoleon's empire was short-lived, it barely lasted 15 years therefore I wouldn't rate it very highly. The French Empire as a whole though is certainly one of the top ranking in the world. It lasted over 400 years with territories in every continent.
