The term “empire” evokes the image of the Roman Empire for most of us. The truth is that there have been dozens and dozens of empires in the last 2,500 years alone. Two of the shortest were the Serbian and the First Mexican Empires in the 16th and 19th centuries, respectively. Both of those lasted one year.

Some of the more interesting and relatively unknown empires were The Kongo and The Tongan. There were empires in just about every corner of the world, many of which lasted hundreds of years. Most of them are unfamiliar to all but scholars. We know their legacy from their names such as the present day “Congo.”
