| Not to get political, but the US does fit here as much of its territory was taken by conquest from other states (South-West from Mexico, Philippines from Spain, for instance). The fact that much of that territory was either given independence or is now willing members of the US doesn't change that, any more than saying Siberia having Deputies in the Duma means Russia was never an empire. Now, with that out of the way, fix the quiz so that Omayyad and Mogul are acceptable for Umayyad and Mughal. |
