    The most awesome out of those is the British Empire, by far (in global reach, total area, population under their rule, etc):

    At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power.[1] By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time. The empire covered more than 33,700,000 km2 (13,012,000 sq mi), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area.[3][4] As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because its expanse across the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.

    It'ss a tie between Spain and Britain.

    Spain claims that they had the world's first global empire under Queen Isabella. England claims they had the world's biggest empire under Queen Victoria.

    Both are wrong. The first global empire was the Portuguese.
