As you keep pointing out "greatest" is a very subjective term and widely open to interpretation. If you're basing it on size you might have an argument. But length of rule? Lasting impact? Contributions to the world? There are a number of empires and dynasties with equal or greater claims.
And since you mentioned it, I am EXTREMELY well-versed in English History.
Something something celts and stackable giant rocks, something something druids, something something feudal system and a bunch of twats running around extorting each other as "knights", something something Shakespeare, something something Mel Gibson in a skirt and blue face whooping your ass, something something sheepfuckers and Doctor Who.
See? I'm a goddamn English expert.

Yes we certainly have a culture and history that dwarfs your own by quite a considerable margin and always will you jealous bitch.
We were fucking up the middle east and butchering ragheads nearly a millennia before you did you rank amateur johnny come latelys.
The British empire was the greatest empire of all time nothing subjective about it. You have been trying your best to imitate it recently with middling success but then you always fall way short of the example that is set by us and always will.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.

The only way we imitate England is with our habitual inbreeding in some areas of deep rural South. As for empire: you lame fuckers have all the trouble you can handle with tiny little Ireland, former colonies like Australia and the US ditched your ass as soon as they could make it happen, even Canada the most affable country in the world would rather slap a looneybird on their coins instead of that fugly queen. And if you wanna talk about murdering savages, how'd that whole Zulu thing turn out for ya? Still picking spears outta your asses?
PS your shitberry phone fucked up your reply again didn't it? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Ireland is our bitch it has been for certuries and continues to do so. We nicked their potatoes and nicked the north east section of their country because the fenians got uppity and despite all their cowardly bombs and ambushes it remains part of the UK and always will. We basically told the IRA to shut the fuck up and put the guns and bombs down you aren't getting a united Ireland and they did because the bog trotters know they are Britains bitch and always will be.
As for the Zulus?

11 Victoria crosses awarded for that one battle and Victoria crosses aren't handed out like free gifts in a kids cereal box like the crappy purple heart.
Queen lizzy the second is still head of state of Canada and Australia when she visits her subjects line the streets to catch glimpse and tug their little forelock to her majesty.

You mean the Ireland who staged the only successful twentieth century
war for independence against your lot? Those bitches? Seems to me a war where you lose a chunk of your "history's greatest empire" is not a victory but a loss.

Let's see. You're bragging that the regular army of the "greatest empire in history" went up against a bunch of half naked bushmen who carried two-foot spears and only managed what even wikipedia calls a "tactical victory." Know what "tactical victory" means? It means they didn't exactly get massacred, but they didn't whomp all kinds of ass. As opposed to "decisive victory" which means pretty much total annihilation, such as
The Battle of Isandlwana
where the Zulus ate the technologically superior English forces for lunch and crapped pieces of them in their stool for weeks afterward.
Whooooops, heh heh heh. So much for English Might. Unless you meant "English might get their asses handed to them".
Again.
Wonder if Queen Mum gave out any medals for "jolly good try poor dead chaps".
