A beautiful visualization showcases empires spanning from the Sumerian civilization to the Roman Empire, illustrating the rise and fall of various Eastern civilizations. The Ottoman Empire's struggle against European colonial powers, who nearly dominated the globe by the late 19th century, culminated in its dissolution in the 20th century.
Presently, no empires exist officially. However, likening countries such as the USA and China to small children is inaccurate; their spheres of influence extend far beyond what is depicted. Despite this, the visualization remains undeniably captivating.
