Home›Empires and Imperial States›Government Type›MonarchyBrowse ByMonarchyThis dimension sorts polities by their form of government, a monarchy, a republic, an empire or a confederation. Wikipedia notes that a polity is "the unit or entity of a political community or body politic," a body that always organizes itself under one particular form of government. Browsing by government type keeps polities governed the same way grouped together.FactsMonarchySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonStart YearWell-attested2300 BCE 1MonarchyFilter Results53 entriesEraAllClassical Antiquity (7)The Age of Discovery (1)The Ancient Near East and Bronze Age World (1)The Contemporary Period (2)The Early Modern Period (24)The Gupta Golden Age (1)The High Middle Ages (1)The Inca Imperial Period (1)The Late Modern Period (13)The Mali and Songhai Imperial Period (1)The Mughal Golden Age (1)The Post-Classical and Medieval Period (21)Dated SpanAll-1894 to -1595 (1)-550 to -330 (1)-626 to -539 (1)-911 to -609 (1)1154 to 1204 (1)1299 to 1922 (1)1438 to 1533 (1)1464 to 1591 (1)1492 to 1976 (1)1526 to 1857 (1)1583 to 1997 (1)1721 to 1917 (1)1867 to 1918 (1)1871 to 1918 (1)224 to 651 (1)250 to 550 (1)802 to 1431 (1)962 to 1806 (1)Size at PeakAll13,700,000 to 35,500,000 (3)2,000,000 to 3,500,000 (2)255,804 to 1,950,000 (2)3,750,000 to 5,200,000 (2)5,500,000 to 11,100,000 (1)Population at PeakAll11,100,000 to 15,700,000 (1)27,000,000 to 40,169,219 (1)44,000,000 to 64,925,993 (1)75,000,000 to 161,000,000 (3)Status (Extant or Former)AllFormer / Dissolved (42)Merged or Absorbed (9)Succeeded or Renamed (2)CapitalAllAgra, later Delhi, Shahjahanabad (1)Angkor (Yasodharapura) (1)Antioch (1)Babylon (1)Babylon, on the Euphrates in central Mesopotamia (1)Berlin (1)Constantinople (Istanbul after 1453) (1)Cusco (1)Gao (1)London (1)Madrid (1)Saint Petersburg (Moscow before 1712) (1)Seleucia (1)Valladolid (1)Vienna and Budapest (dual capitals) (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 50Aq QoyunluMonarchyAustria-HungaryMonarchyChagatai KhanateMonarchyCrimean KhanateMonarchyDanish Overseas ColoniesMonarchyDzungar KhanateMonarchyGajapati EmpireMonarchyGerman EmpireMonarchyGhana EmpireMonarchyGöktürk KhaganateMonarchyGolden HordeMonarchyHoysala EmpireMonarchyKanem-Bornu EmpireMonarchyKara KoyunluMonarchyKara-Khanid KhanateMonarchyKazakh KhanateMonarchyKhanate of AstrakhanMonarchyKhanate of BukharaMonarchyKhanate of KazanMonarchyKhanate of KhivaMonarchyKhanate of KokandMonarchyKhazar KhaganateMonarchyKingdom of MutapaMonarchyKonbaung DynastyMonarchyMedian EmpireMonarchyNeo-Assyrian EmpireMonarchyNeo-Babylonian EmpireMonarchyOyo EmpireMonarchyParthian EmpireMonarchyPurepecha EmpireMonarchyRashtrakuta EmpireMonarchyRozvi EmpireMonarchyRussian Colonization of North AmericaMonarchyRussian EmpireMonarchySafavid EmpireMonarchySasanian EmpireMonarchySeleucid EmpireMonarchySiberian KhanateMonarchySpanish EmpireMonarchyTaiwan under Qing ruleMonarchyThe Achaemenid EmpireMonarchyThe Angevin EmpireMonarchyThe British EmpireMonarchyThe Gupta EmpireMonarchyThe Holy Roman EmpireMonarchyThe Inca EmpireMonarchyThe Khmer EmpireMonarchyThe Mughal EmpireMonarchyThe Old Babylonian EmpireMonarchyThe Ottoman EmpireMonarchyShowing 1 to 50 of 53, page 1 of 2.12Next →Sources1.
