Answer 1

To complete the picture it is necessary to compare the territorial extension of the Empires in the three mentioned periods. For example:

The Spanish Empire

• 1600 - Had large territorial possessions in America.
• 1750 - lost possessions in North America.
• 1900 - most of its colonial possessions had become independent.

One of the main motivations of great empires and civilizations was territorial growth. These communities were always concerned with invading and imposing their rule over large areas of the Earth.

Many of them existed at different times and grew up under different historical circumstances such as:

• Wars
• Invasions
• Diseases
• Discoveries

Among others.

An example of this is the Spanish Empire that managed to have a territory of more than 14,000 km in length, having most of America under its rule and other colonies in Southeast Asia.
