The "Rise of Empire" refers to the period when a nation or civilization expands its influence and control over territories, often through military conquest, trade, or diplomacy. This process typically involves the establishment of a centralized government, economic systems, and cultural integration, leading to increased power and stability. Throughout history, various empires, such as the Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire, have exemplified this phenomenon. These empires often left lasting legacies in law, architecture, and culture, shaping the regions they governed and influencing future generations.
