It became the largest empire in world history, encompassing one quarter of the world's land area and one fifth of its population.[62] The impacts of this period are still prominent in the current age "including widespread use of the English language, belief in Protestant religion, economic globalization, modern precepts of law and order, and representative democracy."[63][64] German Sociologist Friedrich Tenbruck finds that the macro-historic process of imperial expansion gave rise to global history in which the formations of universal empires were most significant stages.[107] A later group of political scientists, working on the phenomenon of the current unipolarity, in 2007 edited research on several pre-modern civilizations by experts in respective fields.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1593.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1593.txt
