The Assyrian Empire
The Assyrian Empire was considered the “First True Empire” as they were the first to use unity and great organizational skills to achieve the vast land space they had. Their army was really effective and strong, and they fought long and hard until the Babylonians conquered them. The name was also transferred to the acquiring empire.
The Assyrian Empire lasted from 2500 BC to 609 Bc – a pretty long time for a single empire.
The First Portuguese Empire
The Portuguese Empire was started from a voyage made by Prince Harry the Voyager, who traveled to Africa, South America, and Asia. He brought with him, too, a lot of explorers. This empire is also known to many as the Portuguese Overseas or the Portuguese Colonial Empire, a well-known empire in western Europe’s history.
The First Portuguese empire started in 1415 and ended in 1999 after the Macau administration reclaimed Ceuta’s North African city.
