All incorrect so far. I will give a clue later.

Mr pea got the side question for some reason most people will answer 25 as their first answer.

 

[MrPea]

Then my next guess would be the Ottoman.

Is that a coffee shop or a Chinese or Empire electrical

 

[spkennyuk]

Ok time for a clue. The top three empires measured in GDP all reached their peak within a few years of each other. All three were in the 1900 to 2000 era.

I would say Germany as it was and empire plus a few possessions in Africa etc the next Russian, then France. All before the first world war.

GDP size
British Empire – $918.7 billion (in 1938)
Nazi Germany – $375.6 billion (in 1938)
Empire of Japan – $260.7 billion (in 1938)
Russian Empire – $257.7 billion (in 1917)

Top four in order above. Your correct Martin Germany was the second largest measured in GDP.

Your question

 

[midlifecrisis]

I was was out by an era and a war... Let me have a think about the next question.

 

[midlifecrisis]

From Mrs Crisis, which animal, other than the human, is responsible for the most human deaths since our whole existence?

 

[2b1ask1]

Mosquito

 

[daverichardson]

Well it must be the Bubonic plague which I believe was spread by tiny wee Fleas

 

[allandwf]

Definition of an animal required please. Snake if not a mosquito.

 

[midlifecrisis]

An animal is anything of the animal kingdom.
Newton was straight in there with the pesky mossie.
Over to you big man

Interesting since it's not actually the mosquito that kills, but I think it's a fair answer

C

 

[2b1ask1]

Including presumptive and since Alfred the Great how many British monarchs have been women?

(not including Irish or Scottish lineage before union otherwise it gets messy)

 

[zagatoes30]

Always gets messy when the Irish & Scots get involved
