You are here: Experts > Homework Help > Women's History > General History > Empires?!
Expert: Claes-Gustaf Nordquist, M.D.
Date: 6/8/2008
Subject: Empires?!
Question
What do you believe is an empire? What is an empire comprised of?
Do you think U.S is an empire? How do empires start?
I need your opinions for an essay! Thanks so much :)
Answer
Well, that was difficult. An empir in my opinion is a political entity that has grown BIG & POWERFUL! Like the Roman Empire or the British Empire. However historically empires (like the Roman & British) included vast areas and a lot of people with no say or part in the political process. So while the US may suit part of the definition above it does not do so completely. Empires normally start with a state that then grow by conquest. That hardly fits present day U.S. either.
If this is not clear enough you are welcome back with more questions!
