  1. The vast majority of these dates are wrong/debatable

  2. Wow!! So this is what peak power feels like? Funny I thought it would feel different. Guess it’s all downhill from here ☹️

  3. We are doing very well for ourselves, in fairness. And we have great soft power.

  4. France 1920??? Russia 1895 after the Third Rome? German 1942 when they lost at Stalingrad but not under Frederick the Great??

    Would love to know the metrics.

  5. 6th and 7th December 1922 was surely our greatest time

    A nation once again

  6. Nah, Britain is not right. Territorially, yes they were as their peak. But Britain was massively damaged by World War One. Damage they might’ve been able to recover from, but then World War Two happened.

  7. I don’t think Belfast was peaking in 1920 tbh

  8. The Greeks getting absolutely rode for the last nigh two millennia. Poor things .

  9. Greenland sounds like our promised land…I’m sure it was promised to us from st.brendan the navigatior.they will see us as peaceful settlers until they start the terrorist attacks .then we will have the right to self defence

  10. Britain was only at peak power then because they had the Dowager Countess of Grantham.

  11. Don’t know what the metrics are, but I feel like France 1920 can’t be right- theirs was surely when they were ruled by a man who was averagely tall for his time

  12. It’s because there’s a Healy-Ray in the government

  13. Some of these are very debatable for example I wouldn’t pick those years for UK, France and Austria, Spain and Portugal.

  14. 1915 was peak power for Ireland if you admit our part in the empire!

  15. Is this just terrirotry? Cuz strength wise it doesn’t make much sense

  16. Just wait until the city of Belinda is at its full potential, now that is real power

  17. Norway is fucking killing it right now. A real rich country, unlike fake Ireland

  18. Bollox. The UK was on the wane since at least 1914, then it had the Rosing and War of Independence to deal with before succumbing to its Empire beginning to break up

  19. Power? We have to ring up the RAF whenever an unresponsive aircraft is near our airspace.

  20. Around 2003 to 2006, post GFA, Pre crash. In terms of economy and influence. US was nice to us then. Also post Brexit, when the EU and US rallied round us to kick the tories.

    Would say that post Ukraine, and post Israel and our Occupied territories bill, and now with a vengeful trump, we are on a downward trajectory.

    We are perceived as cheap on defence, dependent on FDI tax (Corp and salary taxes), and our Israel position, however laudable, isn’t an influence builder…

  21. Economic power? military power? Over 9000 power level? What we talking here

  22. Belarus is at the peak of its power? It’s basically a vassal state of Russia

  23. I’d say it was when the monasteries were about columbanus and the lads. We had a good rep then

  24. If this is the peak now, I would hate to see the future ?

  25. Britain was not peak power in 1920 it was literally months from the defeat that began the decline of the Empire.

  26. What are the parameters for this? Ireland currently is a tax haven for tax dodging multinational corporations, built on a house of cards
