What are the largest countries in the history of the ancient world?
In the 5000-year history of the world, there are countless countries, but few great empires have shocked the world. Ten empires in chronological order:

1 Persian empire: the first empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa. At this time, China was still in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Persian Empire was in full swing, covering almost the whole of West Asia. Together with Egypt and Thrace, it started the great empire.

Alexander Empire: A short-lived empire, it brought western civilization to the East for the first time and basically inherited the territory of the Persian Empire.

China Han Empire: The only empire that can compete with the Roman Empire when it is dominant. The Han Dynasty witnessed the rise and prosperity of the Roman Empire for more than 400 years.

Roman Empire: The most powerful empire in the west. The Mediterranean Sea is the myth of its inner lake, which dominated the world for five centuries and had a far-reaching impact on the world.

China's Tang Empire: At that time, the world's largest eastern power, the Tang civilization spread widely at sea, and its reputation was shocking everywhere. Only the later Arab Empire dared to compete with the Tang Dynasty.

6 Arab Empire: In its heyday, its territory far surpassed that of Persian Empire, Alexander Empire and Roman Empire, spanning Europe, Asia and Africa, and set off a Muslim frenzy in Europe. Only the Tang Dynasty in the East can put out the expanding flame, and it is called the top two in the world with the Tang Dynasty in the East.

7 China's Yuan Empire: Dayuan Empire is the largest empire in the history of the world, the only undisputed hegemon in the world at that time, the sun of the world at that time, and a superpower that no one can match.
