| | British Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The British Empire was, at one time, the foremost global power, and the most extensive empire in the history of the world. | | | Helgoland seized by the British in 1807 ceded to Germany in 1890. | | | The Americas in particular (especially in Argentina and the United States) were seen as being well under the informal British trade empire due to Britain's enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine keeping other European nations from establishing formal rule in the area. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Byzantine Empire |
| | This is the first appearance of the two foes who were slowly but surely to bring about the destruction of the empire, and the worst feature of their case was that the Greeks themselves prepared the way for their future destroyers. | | | Again and again was the Byzantine Empire de facto reduced to the limits of the capital city, which Anastasius had transformed into an unrivaled fortress; and often, too, was the victory over its foes gained by troops before whose ferocity its own citizens trembled. | | | All the warring elements of the period — national, local, economic, social, even personal — group themselves around the prevalent theological questions, so that it is practically impossible to say, in any given case, whether the dominant motives of the parties to the quarrel were spiritual or temporal. |

| | This last period of Civil War before the birth of the Roman Empire was filled with fascinating characters, important battles, and dangerous political intriques (Cicero was not only killed, but had his hands cuts off and a pin put through his tongue because of that attacks he wrote and spoke against Antony). | | | The Roman Empire is plunged into chaos when Julius Caesar is assassinated and his power is passed on to his 18-year-old nephew Octavius. | | | Many have complained about how Empire plays fast and loose--very, very loose--with historical truth (the series labored over accurate details while running amok with preposterous turns of plot, ranging from Octavius hiding out in a gladiatorial prison to the emperor-to-be's romance with a rosy-lipped vestal virgin). |

| | Bush Empire |
| | Among the architects of this would-be American Empire are a group of brilliant and powerful people who now hold key positions in the Bush administration: They envision the creation and enforcement of what they call a worldwide "Pax Americana," or American peace. | | | When I wrote a recent article charging that Kagan and his neoconservative colleagues are advocating what amounts to a new American empire, he responded with a piece of his own denying the allegation. | | | It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the "American imperialists" that our enemies always claimed we were. |

| | The US was not a fumbling empire in denial, in fact not an empire at all, but merely the most successful "global hegemon" in history. | | | We were assembled to hear two vaunted thinkers of the new, new world order debate the proposition that America is, and should be, an empire. | | | But despite its virtue, posited Ferguson, the United States was an "empire in denial." Because Americans stubbornly refused to acknowledge their global dominion, the US did not act as an imperium should. |

| | According to Negri and Hardt, this new Empire is the result of the transformation of modern capitalism into a set of power relationships we endlessly replicate that transcend the nation state (so anti-imperialism is out as a progressive politics). | | | Empire seeks to fill that gap by asking where globalisation comes from, what it means and whether or not it is a good or bad thing. | | | Vitally, the authors argue that the multitude, through their many struggles, pushed the world to this point and it is the multitude who can push through to a much better world on the other side of globalisation. |

| | It’s simply the Indian government, tragically out of touch with the concerns of the Indian people and with the zeitgeist, while the rest of the world is slowly waking up and realizing it has the power to oppose the empire. | | | In addition, Britain, unlike the United States, supports the International Criminal Court, so if soldiers don't get a proper trial for crimes in Britain there is the specter of trial at the Hague as well. | | | MPs in the Lok Sabha, India’s equivalent of the House of Commons, protested Bush’s appearance as well; he was unable to address them directly, as Clinton had earlier. |
