I see it as a territorial empire, something that the American Empire is not. Also interestingly, the 20th century style empires were known as Superpowers, not Empires. The Imperialistic mindset is gone in some ways, and in other ways it's not. Would you say the British Empire was an empire that was largely economic?

Wikipedia<br>defines a First, Second and Third British Empire with the first ending<br>around the time of the American Revolution. The Second ending in the 1800s<br>with the Napoleonic Wars and the Third ending around World War II. I think<br>we can all agree that the decline of the British Empire as is remembered, at<br>least by me, began with the decline of the East India Company.

And isn't our current American Empire really just a continuation of the British Empire? Didn't the same or similar forces that powered the British Empire simply get handed off to the USA after the calamity of WWII?
