Because that was just one example of why Enterprise was such a disaster.
I wanted to see the post war world but that would have been harder to make trek. The image of paradise was gone and a lot of questions would have been answered differently. Some of the best fanfiction I've read, though, is about that time and how the view of their 'world' had shifted to something darker and more practical.
I think *since* Section 31 had been established as existing early on, they could have done a scene where some guys in blackleather made them dissapear.
The strongest empire in history? That is a tough one. Rome was just a massive regional power that laid on yhe edges of the known world spanning from a city state during 500 bc to much of Europe, North Africa and part of the Near East. Roman Empire didnt fall during 476 ad it continued in Eastern Europe with its Greek speaking capital of Constantinople, which fell to the Venetians and French crusaders during the 4th crusade in 1204. And again fell to the islamic Ottomans in 1453 ending the Roman Empire for good. French, spanish and, Italian are child languages of Latin which were spoken locals and Germanic tribes. Lets not forget that the Roman Catholic been around since the days of Rome itself.
As for the Mongols, i think the Mongols shaped Asia to what it is. Mongols unified almost Asia which is very diverse with different races, religions, langusges under one banner. Mongols had the largest land empirr in history which would not be reproduced until Russia Empire came about which id exactly similar to the Mongol Empire in terms of Geography and ethnicities. Mongol controlled trade from point A, point B, and to point C along its secured trade routes. Mongols eventually absorbed into the cultures they have conquered and its the reason why Mongol did not hold on to power as well ad rivalries amogst khanates.
But for me the greatest Empires are the Spanish Empire for creating global trading system with the spanish dollar as a global currency and the British Empire for perfecting global trade.
The mongols were certainly the largest/most fearsome - however they were relatively short lived and not able to sustain it which is a huge knock to them in this question.
To me it is actually very clearly the Roman Empire as the greatest. The greatness of Rome lay not just in the size of it, but in the longevity of it, and the accomplishments and long term impact on so many things - building of roads, language, trade, art, and so many other areas. Rome had what to me is an unparalelled impact on human history in relation to other empires.
