Most Popular Top 10 Historical Countries

Obviously all countries have played a role in history, even if it was only in their own country or the surrounding area but there are some countries that have made history and their actions have had effects over far wider expanses of our planet. Although it could be argued that perhaps the Mongols or the Vikings should appear on this list, I consider them more the actions of individuals opposed to countries. With that in mind, here is a list of what are probably the top 10 most historical countries in the world:
