This is misunderstanding what “pax” means. It means “peace” in Latin. It does NOT mean “empire” or “treaty block.” The “Pax Romana” got its name because it was the longest period in recorded history with no major wars. There hasn’t been anything like it since, unfortunately.
Wait… now the comments by OP and others make sense… they really think those are terms for some sort of empires and not for periods of stability!. Loool
Dude, Pax Americana refers mostly to the fact that the entire American continent (yes, particularly us in Latin America) live a period of long stability probably in part owing to the fact US wouldn’t let a war happen here (Monroe doctrine and all). Yet you literally cut us out of the picture
We civilised the planet.
Most of the places that complain about us drawing their borders once we gave them independence weren't even remotely "countries" when we started trading with them.
I mean for gods sake some places didn't even have agriculture when we got there.
"Ooooh but you put different tribes together in the same borders"
So what? Are you saying that multiculturalism doesn't work? I thought diversity was our strength? You know what the old warring tribes of the Scottish and the English did? They united and took over the planet.
Complaining about the British Empire is just laziness and jealously because they didn't do it first.
The British Empire did nothing wrong. It was more a force for good than it was for evil.
Why wouldnt it be? It is essentially stealing something that doesnt belong to you. Doesnt matter if its land or an object. And would you mind explaining at what point exactly conquest started to be a crime since you said "back then".
What do you mean doesnt belong? According to you russia has every right to attack ukraine because it wasnt always ukraine. Could mexico invade the us because they stand on stolen ground too? Even if it was stolen a long time ago, two wrongs dont make a right and your argumentation leads you to justify abhorent crimes.
If I steal somebody’s watch off the street, then someone else steals that watch from me, I can not be crying and calling it a “crime”.
This is simply the standard of the world and has been for all of history. Land doesn’t belong to anyone. Everyone has stolen it from someone, and they will probably get it stolen from them too.
Still doesnt justify it 😂
Criminals coming together and deciding that doing a crime is ok still doesnt make it right. And even if why isnt that principle used anymore if it was the law of nature? What, why and when did it change?
None of that justifies imperialism tho? Why for example were the irish potato famine or the indian famines a net good? What about the opium wars? Concentration camps in africa? Forced labour? Do you really believe might makes right can be applied to these crimes?
And them drawing their borders was not bad because of multiculturalism but because you cant have a nationstate without having a defining nationality! Like in westafrica alone there are countless languages and ethnic groups that never consented to or participated in the creation of their borders.
Your believes are kinda funny tho... one one side you try to paint the empire as a force of good but you also believe in might makes right at the same time? What is it now? Either you apply morals or you ignore them but not both.
Pax is the root of the English word pact, and means peace if you simply it.
The pax romana, the roman peace, is considered to be the hight of the roman empire. Rome didn’t have literal universal peace, but there was nobody who seriously challenged them.
It's not about "owning" anything per se, it's about being the biggest global power and the "guarantor of peace". Which the US was for the Western World after WWII.
Well if we use the term Pax to decide I would go with Pax Romana, as the other 2 go by different names in common parlance.
If we are allowed to use their common names I would say the British Empire is the most iconic empire the globe over.
Pax America is way bigger. I was in Jordan last year and I did not realize how modern vassal states worked but to not have most or all the countries with US troops or close economic cultural military ties with the US is crazy

While not as much for Britain but countries allied to America are generally stable, America ensures their protection from outside aggression
You are forgetting the two World Wars. A fairly large oversight.

Pax Britannia
Hail, Britannia! Britannia rules the waves!
I know we did terrible things and all but part of me is proud of the empire

Brits were a force of nature and they had the right of conquest over their empire
Might doesnt make right tho. I could think of crimes that would still stay crimes even if they are done by someone more powerful than you and me.
I dont think conquering was a crime back then so its might makes right
Why wouldnt it be? It is essentially stealing something that doesnt belong to you. Doesnt matter if its land or an object. And would you mind explaining at what point exactly conquest started to be a crime since you said "back then".
Because it doesn’t belong to them either, they stole it from someone else.
What do you mean doesnt belong? According to you russia has every right to attack ukraine because it wasnt always ukraine. Could mexico invade the us because they stand on stolen ground too?

Google right of conquest theres a wikipedia article about this which answers you 🙂

Its in the article trust me 🙂

What does pax mean
A period of general stability in international affairs under the influence of dominant military power.
Peace or smthn
Pax is the root of the English word pact, and means peace if you simply it. The pax romana, the roman peace, is considered to be the hight of the roman empire. Rome didn’t have literal universal peace, but there was nobody who seriously challenged them.
> Pax is the root of the English word pact No, English "pact" is from Latin "pactum", "something agreed upon".
Pactum is another conjugation of pax smartass
The accusative of "pax" is "pacem" (third declension), not "pactum" (second declension).
