All empires were "evil".

Likely in a world with a complete different empire, maybe 2 or 3. The Spaniards and french were also shit heads, other empires never got that big outside their country - at least for long. Looking how the Indians handled back then their caste system and also today act to others, an Indian Empire wouldnt be much better. China is much more doing internal things, but they also show that they definitely a fan of "Resistance is futile" kind of assimilation are, if they would have went big. Even African and Indio nations show tendencies to this behavior.
So as tldr: Humans are in general shit hats and will make everything miserable.
