One who conquered the empire? or,
the one who protected the empire from being conqured? or,the one who could've conqured but did not?
I think if the empire is bad/bad to its people than the one who conguered it is the achiever....and if one protected the empire from a bad envasion than that person who protected is the achiever...and other one is loser...it depends...i hope i have made a point!
