<h3>What is an Empire?</h3>
A political unit known as an empire is made up of many different nations and regions that is "often established by conquest and divided into a dominant center and submissive peripheries." By a strict definition, an empire is a sovereign state with an emperor as its head of state; however, not all states with a combined territory under the control of supreme authorities are referred to as empires or ruled by emperors, and not all self-described empires have been recognized as such by historians and contemporaries (the Central African Empire, and some Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in early England being examples).
There have been "brutal and comparatively peaceful, centralized and decentralized, ancient and modern" Empires.
