The very core of an empire lies in imperialism, i.e., in expansion, in conquest. Therefore, there is a very fine line here. Today, it is customary to refer to colonial powers as empires – this is more accurate.
By the way, for those who still don't believe me, here is some food for thought.
One of the hadiths (stories) about the Prophet Muhammad.
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25; narrator Abu Huraira: The Apostle of Allah was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad)." Then the questioner asked, "What is next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To participate in jihad (religious struggle) for the sake of Allah."
In Islam, there is no "natural" sense of morality or justice that goes beyond the specific examples and precepts given in the Quran and Sunnah. Since Muhammad is considered the last prophet of Allah, and the Quran is the eternal, unchanging word of Allah Himself, there is also no development of morality that would allow for the modification or integration of Islamic morality with other sources. The entire universe of Islamic morality is built exclusively on the life and teachings of Muhammad.

And don't think that Nazi Germany continued the work of the Teutonic Order! That's a mistake.
They perverted everything, these Nazis. The Teutonic Order fought against the infidels, defended the interests of the church, which, of course, were largely related to expansion and enrichment.
And Nazi Germany, as everyone knows, fought against whom – Jews, Christians, first of all.
Moreover, Heinrich Himmler called Christianity a plague, that is, he insulted all of us, and also insulted the cause for which all spiritual and knightly orders fought.
