Super Powers

The concept of super powers is not new. In history, many empires raised and then fell down. Which one would you consider best?

Re: Super Powers

Best in what sense?

Re: Super Powers

Government system, relations with other countries, peace, harmony, etc etc...

China

Re: Super Powers

I’ll go with China as well, have they fully exercised their super powers? :hmmm:

Re: Super Powers

Russia and America has been exercising their powers… Chian na hi karay behtara hai… BTW… China does support North Korea…

I would say the Mongolian empire. As ruthless as it was, it promoted religious tolerance, freedom of thought. People of lower classes became advisors to khublai khan

Re: Super Powers

China hasn't announced itself has The Superpower of the world yet, and whenever that happens, they won't be any different from their predecessors.

Re: Super Powers

Why ?

Re: Super Powers

No superpower fits these criteria. Because no superpower uses its capacity as such for peace, good relationships, harmony, etc.

A country only becomes a superpower and is recognised as such when it acquires the ability to bend other countries to its will.

No superpower in history has been peaceful. From the time of the Persian, Greek and Chinese empires of old through to the Roman, Islamic, Mongol, British and modern-day superpowers, they have only ever been catalysts of continued conflict.
