	Do you have a source? I have a hard time believing the Netherlands was a "hyperpower".

	Oli4:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 18:18 GMT	3 points
	Sorry. I put in a source, but it didn't show up. I probably put it in the wrong space. My source is KIJK magazine 2010-5. They were actually a hyperpower - they had colonies everywhere, traded with pretty much every country in the world and were filthy rich. They might not have had a global presence like the current 'Pax Americana', but if they wanted something, they got it. I'll try to fix the source issue.

Comment below threshold: show it

	I've added a few bonus answers for countries that were almost hyperpowers but failed.

	I tried to put in Dutch but it didn't accept it

	Oli4:	Aug 13th, 2011 at 11:24 GMT	1 point
	I'll fix that.

	It doesn't accept Mongol, only Mongol Empire.

	Oli4:	Aug 14th, 2011 at 07:17 GMT	1 point
	Fixed.

	The Caliphate seems like it was arguably as strong as Tang China.

	Oli4:	Aug 15th, 2011 at 17:49 GMT	1 point
	The Caliphate (and the Ottoman empire for that matter) wasn't really that powerful - they ruled the middle east and north africa, but the Franks pushed them back quite easily.

	Would have figured the ancient Egyptian Empire would be up there. Bonus answer perhaps?

	What about the Spanish Empire? Before the Spanish Armada, they were considered the most powerful and richest nation in the world.

	Oli4:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 17:53 GMT	1 point
	Egypt wasn't that strong - they were beaten quite often by the Assyrians, Hittites, Greeks, Babylonians and the Hyksos. The Spanish empire was very strong indeed - I'll make it a bonus. However, they didn't dominate the world like these hyperpowers did. The Holy Roman empire, Ottoman empire or the English were too strong for the Spanish to be considered a true hyperpower.
