	What's the source for these?

	Troublemaker:	Apr 20th, 2010 at 17:59 GMT	4 points
	really? no Roman Empire? Macedonian?

	Multiple answers need to allowed, especially if you allow France and not Spain. Also the Mongols were Asian, so maybe you might want to rephrase the Qing question

	Italy also fought on separate sides in the two world wars. Beyond that, this quiz is terrible.

	Why do you accept "USA" and not "UK." You messed me up here...

	Zephos:	Apr 20th, 2010 at 22:02 GMT	13 points
	ITS NOT "AUSTRO HUNGARY" IN THE SINGULAR. CHRIST. Aside from that... the Mongol Empire? What Mongol Empire? They were dead and gone by the 1600's. And how is the Qing Empire the biggest with them in mind? What about the Mughals? The Portuguese Empire? Dutch Empire? Belgian Empire? You have no idea what your doing with this do you?

	Inconsistent with accepting country names

	MonteCresta:	Apr 21st, 2010 at 05:59 GMT	4 points
	you accept USA but not United States.

	funseeker:	Apr 21st, 2010 at 21:13 GMT	5 points
	How come it is the "Spanish Empire", but not the "British Empire". The inconsistencies are ridiculous.

	CBW:	Apr 21st, 2010 at 23:57 GMT	3 points
	Dreadful

	canucklehead:	Apr 22nd, 2010 at 00:05 GMT	5 points
	politically it's the United Kingdom...Great Britain is an island. You should also accept "Spain" and "Mongol Empire" and add the Roman empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire...if you want to even try to resuscitate this piss poor quiz.

	Rooster:	Apr 22nd, 2010 at 14:44 GMT	5 points
	you already know how bad this is, right?

	Probus:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 17:21 GMT	5 points
	Appalling

	Peanut:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 19:58 GMT	3 points
	Austria-Hungary rather than Austro-Hungary, and Portugal was the first maritime European empire, not Spain.

	Maverick197:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 06:05 GMT	2 points
	There was a mongol empire after the 1600s? Apparently i'm reading the wrong history books. I very much like the idea of this quiz there's just a lot of little errors.

	Abef:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 17:52 GMT	-1 points
	And wasn't the "Austrian Empire" the remnants of the Holy Roman Empire?

	TJL:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 00:56 GMT	1 point
	Way too many errors, left too many out as well. Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary shouldn't be separate; having USSR and Russia separate is a stretch. You should include Rome, Athens (the TRUE first maritime empire; read some ****ing Thucydides), Macedonia, Persia, Sparta, the Holy Roman Empire, maybe the Byzantine Empire, India (which is becoming an economic great power rival to the US), and maybe Egypt as well. You need to fix the inconsistencies in what is accepted and what isn't, too

	TJL:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 01:16 GMT	1 point
	OK, I see that it's after 1600. Still. Plus, that should be included in the long title, too

	ragazzo:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 05:29 GMT	2 points
	Awful quiz, full of spelling errors and inconsistencies. Correct these ASAP please...

	nyo:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 14:25 GMT	4 points
	When going by economical power. The United Provences (netherlands) were a world power in the early 17th century.

	thebirds:	May 1st, 2010 at 21:37 GMT	1 point
	Didn't think it was that bad. Bit annoyed with Austrian Empire though, the answer should have been HRE or Hapsburg.

	Problus is your only wish on sporcle to rip other peoples spirit of sporcle before you rip apart other peoples games until you create your own sincerely appalling games p.s. I hate your pathetic attempt to displease other people just because you know you couldn't create a game of minimal prosperity yurself

	giraki:	Jan 11th, 2011 at 18:30 GMT	2 points
	Oh dear. I'm not sure where to start with this one. Well, to avoid pointing out what has already been said, it's pretty stupid to call it great powers and then only include superpowers. If you where to actually include all great powers in history since the 1600s, you'd need to add the Swedish empire, the Danish empire, the Dutch empire, the Belgian empire, the Third reich, India and Prussia just to name a few.

	You need to accept Spain, Mongols, Austria, Austria-Hungary and UK
