inb4 that asshurt brazilian shows up

there were lots of undestroyed roman goodies in england and they decided to study them instead of burning them

>successors to the Romans?
NO we have nothing to do with your papish and pagan empire

Nobody was talking to you hobbit.

this is a good thought. It could also be that the Empire's presence inspired a few ambitious men to consolidating their power.

Have you seen our women???

Ask yourself, with our women as your only choice you wouldn't go out conquering?

Industrial revolution

ships

They didn't. Romans were administrators, not conquerors.
In the UK only 1 in 70 people are descended from the Romans.

>implications
the only similarity between the brittish and the roman empire is that they were both just vessels for their capital cities

>both just vessels for their capital cities
Pretty much this.

Alfred the Great loved the Romans. He studied Latin late in life and built towns and roads based on Roman concepts.

I guess people liked how the Romans organised things and maintained the system the Romans left behind.

ERE and Holy Roman Empire were the successors, not some inbred island wankers.

Romans fucked with Germanics+Celts for too long, which made them go angry survival-mode, then said pissed-off Germanics+Celts pushed into the European power vacuum as Rome collapsed in on itself in the west.

Then Christianity went boom, then the Muslims went boom, then the Americas happened, then beady eyed Anglos stabbed the Germanics in the back, and so here we are.

There is more than 1000 years of history between the Fall of the Roman Empire and the Anglo domination. They are not the successors to the Romans. They are the successors of whoever came later.

Only us Iberians have the right to that title.

In what terms?
Bringing Civilisation and Technology to the world? Yep we did and more

Having the Biggest Empire? Yep we're still unmatched

Being cucked by our leaders? That too

The City of London. Look it up. It was and still is a Roman city, and no I'm not talking about Westminster

The anglo hegemony is pretty recent, until the end of WW1 the US was pretty the equivalent of Straya, a regional power at best.

Europe destroyed itself, twice. It left a massive power vacuum the US was able to fill as the only modern country spared by the war.

...

Any successful empire spreads by establishing colonies that aren't there just to rip off the colonists and natives, but still making sure loyal citizenry are in the administration.

Given enough time the locals will get a bit uppity and need to be given a Damn good thrashing.

If you compare the Anglos against the other European powers at the time - they were all about stripping resources as quickly as possible. Often unbalancing their own economies in the process.
