John Glubb Britto was a British officer who served in the Empire's Middle East possessions for most of his life, and despaired when the Empire collapsed. The whole "250 years" thing was basically just him engaged in some very elaborate cherry-picking of historical dates and motivated reasoning to cope with the fact that the end of British hegemony came as swiftly and ignominiously as it did.
The United States wasn't an empire until the end of WW2. There's a difference between an expanding state and an empire. So don't expect a collapse until 2195 AD.

No, that's expansion. Imperialism is where you control other countries without actually absorbing them and their people. For instance a king who takes over another king's land and just incorporates that into his own kingdom is just an expansive king. A king becomes an emperor if he defeats another king but lets that king remain in control over his own lands but cedes certain aspects of sovereignty to the victor. The issue gets messy over time due to formerly-independent parts of an empire eventually absorbing into the nation that ruled over the empire as in the case of Russia and China. Also, there's hegemonic empires(eg America post 1945) and territorial ones(eg Rome, China, and Russia).
The Roman empire wasn't a nation since many parts of it were somewhat independent of Rome. They were just owned by Rome. Indian reservations may make America seem like an empire but those were really more about keeping warring groups apart due to the fact that if they were absorbed into the nation and given regular citizenship, they might just continue old battles akin to African tribal wars. An Indian reservation may be far away from the very lands that the tribe living on it used to control.
tl;dr an empire is like a mafia that controls an area but doesn't directly govern everything
Fee:
That's exactly what we did, though. Native Americans weren't even classified as US citizens until 1924, and their reservations are still considered sovereign territories. Some US states didn't allow Native Americans who lived on reservations to vote until the 1960s.
