But first - what are the categories of Empires? An empire is a state or group of states under the authority of a single ruler, or in some cases, a small group of people (oligarchy). The states or areas within the empire are diverse and are composed of people of different languages, races, cultures, etc. The male ruler of an empire is often called an emperor, while the female ruler of an empire is often called an empress. However, sometimes other titles are used. King and queen, of course, are some of the most common, but there are others. For example, the Russian emperor was called the tsar, and the German emperor was called the kaiser.
Unit Question: How do empire maintain control? Studies of empires show that control within them can be based on incentives rather than coercion or on a combination of both. It can be exercised through a variety of military, economic, and cultural means. It can be formal or informal to varying degrees. The status of groups and individuals in empires can also differ.
Defining an Empire An empire begins with a central state that absorbs other states and territories. In many empires, wars of conquest are an essential component. Empires also expand through colonization, which involves claiming foreign lands for the empire and establishing settlements. Remember We are looking at Continuity and Change over time.
