Age of Empires, abbreviated to AoE, is a history-based real-time strategy computer game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft, released in 1997. The game allows the user to play as the "spirit guide," god, or immortal leading a historical tribe or civilization. The game became immensely popular and led to several sequels and expansion packs. The name Age of Empires thus started to refer to the Age of Empires series as a whole, which includes the "original" Age of Empires, also Age of Empires: Rise of Rome and its expansion pack. Also, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, its expansion pack Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion, the recent Age of Empires III, and Age of Empires: The Age of Kings, upcoming on February 1st for the Nintendo DS. (For more information about the series see Age of Empires series.)\n\nIn addition to the following games in the series, there have been many similar games that have used the Age of Empires "through the ages" formula including Empire Earth and Rise of Nations.

Traditionally, an empire is an entity interested in militarily conquering land and making that land subject to the empire's political control.  Example: British Empire "conquers" the east coast of North America and keeps it under its political control.  \nUSA does not fit that mold (except the states added after the 13 original states which were "conquered" from the Native American Indians, the Spanish, the Mexicans, and, ironically, the British.)  Example:  USA conquered Japan, but gave it back to the Japanese.\nUSA instead is an "economic" as opposed to "political" empire, because it seeks to have capitalism conquer all other forms of economy and then keep the conquered areas capitalistic.  When non-capitalistic countries exist (e.g., Cuba) the USA does all it can to force capitalism on them.

It has changed occupants many times over the centuries and has been part of many empires and kingdoms. That's what makes the claims of all the regions' factions about ownership so ridiculous.

You would find that strategy and tactics have been in use ever since men first went to war against each other.\n\nThe Art of War, by Sun Tzu is widely considered the oldest known written description of military strategy and tactics.\n\nYou could have a good look at it here:\nhttp://www.chinapage.com/sunzi-e.html\n\nHave fun!\n\nCheers\nAlister\nhttp://www.marketscience.com.au

The British Empire is said to be an empire where sun never set. They had colonies all over the world. It was natural for these colonies to follow english. This is how the language spread.\n\nPhase 2 of the spread began with the american capitalism.

Google it and I promise theres no limit to what you will find. I do know that the old republic goes back, waaay back. A good way to get insight is to play Knights of the Old Republic I and II on the X-box they give you some history lessons and it takes place almost 4000 years before the star wars stories in the movies and most of the books.

US imperialism will stop when the dollar will no longer be the premier currency and other economies become larger than the US. The EU as a whole is already bigger than the US. However they are still politically divided. China is growing fast enough to catch up with the US in 15-20 years when their GDP becomes as large as the US'.\n\nUsually history shows an empire lasts for 200-300 years after which it declines. The decline takes another about 200 years. So in about 500 years empires completely disappear. Take the British empire for example, which started, arguably with the British navy holding off the Spanish Armada in 1588. The British empire lost much of its supremacy with America becoming independent in 1776 (approximately 200 yrs). By mid-1900s India had broken away from the empire and within 20 years the African colonies became independent too. In other words in another 200 years Britain became the tiny country they now are. Their decline was in step with the rise of other countries like USA and Germany.\n\nYou can take the example of the Roman Empire too. Started with Augustus (great-nephew of Julius Caesar, I presume) at around the time Jesus was around too. The Roman empire collapsed in about 476AD. A part of the empire in the east around Turkey survived this collapse and continued to exist as the Byzantine empire but it didn't have the glory or sway of the Roman empire. So, another about 500 yrs of an empire.\n\nSome of the other answers are outright hilarious! for example skypilot's. "Has the US taken over any nation and declared it part of their country?" Well there is a direct example of Hawaii. But other than that he has got it mistaken between a kingdom and an empire. To build an empire you simply put a puppet government that will answer to your needs. US has done this to many countries in South America. Iraq is the newest addition to the empire. All empires were built on similar principles. An empire is made up of kingdoms with kings (countries with governments) who all owe allegiance to one supreme emperor. The empire never "annexes" the kingdom. Kingdoms simply lose their sovereignty.\n\nAnd people like namsave needs that bogeyman story to help him sleep at night.
