> Why were Germanics so superior to very other European culture?
different times, different contexts. Romans weren't rolling around in tanks or fighter jets, they were Mediterranean assholes who were used to fighting around that area. Oh no, it's a little cold, brrr, this iron shield is frozen to my fucking skin and I can't fight for shit anymore.
Portugal used to be one of two colonial superpowers when the iberians decided to go spread smallpox among the natives of the world in their wooden ships, but I don't go around convincing myself that that made my ancestors "superior". They were just poor people who were drunk off their faces half of the day, and starving the other half, until someone with a little money decided to build a few boats and started shipping their sorry asses away from home.
Germanics were small-time tribes spread around the northern part of Europe who were harassed from time to time by the Roman empire, which prevented them from engaging in their favorite pasttimes of copulating with the wildlife and killing each other over a handful of trees.
Alexander Flores
Germanics are masterrace tier and autistic to a fault Bullshit. You can't tell me that an invasion of the Rhine would have been any harder than Ireland.
>>pillaged, subjugated, raped by Rome with ease >>native cultures wiped out Do you mean
>roads, aqueducts built >safety on the streets ensured >trade bolstered >natives so impressed with Romans they start pretending to be ones
What does R stand for in HRE again?
Gavin Torres
The blood cult. Heritage is everything. This is what made the Germanic people better than everyone else.
Lincoln Lee
The British Empire is the largest empire in human history. Global culture is British culture. Anglos have hegemony. Krauts are just jealous autists who kill white Europeans all the time.
Jeremiah Rivera
It's actually amazing how little lasting influence the british empire had on the world considering how massive it was.
Hunter Smith
You say in English.
Adam Gonzalez
lol
Nathan Allen
That's just because of the US though. If America had remained a backwater british colony no one would care about the english language.
Most people today aren't even aware that britain ever had an empire.

David Perez
Romans held down to places when they had value to them, Germany didn't. It didn't have valuable resources or skilled tradesmen, just savage snowniggers.
They didn't colonize them, they just contained them by bribing warlords, keeping them divided and at war with one another.
Evan Ward
Because they were suicidally brave and had crazy spinning spears.
When Legionaires saw their friends' intestines hanging out, threaded though the savages' corkscrew-ass spears, they decided to fuck right off.
Tyler Morris
>Germany >Destroys Roman Army Only when the Romans were invading, the terrain east of the Rhine did not favor Roman formations and tactics. The Germans attacked Rome more than once and got annihilated nearly every time, by the time they did destroy the Western Empire, it was already well on it's way to falling and the Empire had split.

Caleb Perez
The Anglos, Saxons, and Jutes, actually left very little genetic imprint on the natives, and the unique system of life seen with no standing armies and a King that could be selected and fired (as well as other things) implies that this cultural aspect was there before them.
Joseph Myers
Yeah but the UK's empire was large because they only conquered uncivilized peoples (abos, native americans, africans, etc.) still fighting with sticks and stones, hardly that remarkable. Which empire controlled the greatest amount of Europe at its height? I'd be more likely to consider that empire the greatest.

For all the Anglos larping over their empire, remember that the only part of Britain that can claim to have been ever conquered by Romans is Wales. Germanics were pretty clearly able to hold their ow, eventually moving into Roman territory and taking it outrisht. Now Anglos and Russians have emerged as even greater powers, neither of which have ever been conquered by Rome.
And yet Rome remains as the greatest empire of its day.
Respect for all of the nations that have proven themselves worthy of existence.
Ryder Stewart
Germanics were superior in some ways durin certain times in history,but now you are just a bunch of cucks that are going to be exterminated by subhuman arab trash rekt scrubz XD.

Mostly because those places gave the empire great locations for more trade routes.

That's not true at all. Hell, even Tacitus is describing this political system in 'Germania'. And about that genetic imprint...

Spain won the contest. Look at a map of Spanish speaking countries on the entire globe. They won the global conquest game.

What are you saying here? Limited government subject to law wasn't new even when Magna Carta was signed in 1215. The barons were inspired by the Saxon traditions of centuries earlier.
Asher Jackson
>You say in English.
fucking LOL
Christian Williams
Not quite right
Samuel Fisher
okay?... I still don't find it very impressive to have an 'empire' over sparsely populated brown-folk land and India.
From doing a bit of googling, it looks like either the French empire, Roman empire, or the Third Reich is the greatest empire if you're measuring which one controlled the most amount of Europe at its height.
Josiah Barnes
Anglos have more area.
India's upper class still uses English to this day which is our holdover for when the US begins to fall to second place to China.
Jonathan Harris
Germanic culture is barbarian culture. To this date, you are still trying to fuck Europe.
Chase Anderson
So Sup Forums you're saying that according to ancient Romans the Germanics were just a bunch of forest niggers? Sounds about right.
Carter Howard
They weren't. They just won one battle. The Roman empire was at its peak back then, they never bothered to cross the Rhine again because they were busy expanding into areas that were actually wealthy like the mideast and later they went into crisis and decline. The inferiority of the Germanic people can be easily seen in the Germanic takeover of Western Rome. Civilizationwise it looked like black takeover of Rhodesia.
Joseph Bell
kek
Joshua Hill
Look at the quality of life of those countries as well.
Jason Perry
Says the Frank, adopted by Germanics.

Romans were scared of scary forests and ambush.
They didn't usually stray far from the Rhine.
Well aside from roads, wine, education, medicine and philosophy.. What have the Romans ever done for us?

I think you misunderstood. It's not he language, it's the conquest. Spain conquered more of the globe than anyone past or present. They won.
Hudson Adams

Jeremiah Clark
Germans """destroyed""" roman empire the same way Turks """destroyed""" Byzantium. Sure they were direct cause but not the main reason. Rome was in a complete shitstate during the time
William Wright
> pic related Look at the quality of life in those countries. Would you rather live in mainland China, or Hong Kong? Rome wasn't a great empire because it was big, but because of its culture.
>the actual English arround the world as new lingua franca is an archivement of the US Second stage of the empire. Much like how Rome split in to East and West so to did the Anglo empire split in to British and American. British empire receded (though the first world, developed, democratic, colonies remain), and the American empire (a whole continent of states is an empire, as well as its global dominance) continues on much like the Eastern Roman empire did.
Remember: at the time of Revolution the founding fathers of America considered themselves English patriots defending their rights as Englishmen.

Spain wasn't erased with ease bro. The peninsula was the first one attacked by rome and the last region conquered, it took centuries. Rome was very influenced by the Iberians and they appreciated our culture (in a roman way ofc). Britain resisted too fairly well. The gauls also offered a good resistance but Rome was full war with them.
Zachary Jones
Most of the Spanish empire was empty jungle.
Not saying what Spain did wasn't awesome, just that the Brits one upped them.
Adrian Ward
Tyrone please. Do you think mankind's largest empire was conquered solely by erasing a few Abbos?
You do realise that England first had to subjugate everybody else on this island? Scots, Welsh irish first?
Then we had to fight and beat other first world powers of the time that were arguably stronger than us?
Spanish empire? French empire? The Dutch?
We had to beat all of our rivals first, then we got to pacifying the locals.
Chase Evans

How did the Spanish language become the most similar one to Italian then?
Nathaniel Scott
Why measure land area anyway? Which empire ruled over the most amount of people?
Kevin Adams
...
Kayden Sanders
Because there are very few reliable census record going back before British days.
Some people will literally say half of the world's population lived in Persia believe it or not.
Land is an indisputable metric as it is fairly stable over time.
Adrian Diaz
Because they come from the same language? As I said, the iberians weren't specially a hatred enemy (but they suffered the consecuences of the punic war and other nasty stuff). The South and East was pretty much civilized and the adaptation was fairly easy.
Landon Stewart
>Why measure land area anyway? isa the only thing u can mesure cause the population growth with the years and centuries the actual India got more population than any empire

K.
How does it make you feel that I LARP as a Conquistador sometimes? (Born and raised in Latin-America, though Germano-Celtic by blood).
Spain is super undervalued. Spanish courage is nuts.
Angel Nelson
So just as a guesstimate, you think the british empire ruled over the most amount of people mostly due to India?
Carter Martinez
ofc
Adrian Morris
Maybe. It certainly helps that you can add half of Africa and Asia into that number.
Justin Hill
>Spain >native cultures wiped out Well fuck me because we basque culture still exists. Also, how's your wife's son doing?
Nathan Torres
Don't get me wrong they got lots of Africa and Asia too but the amount of people in India could be 1/3 or 1/4 of the empire
Xavier Myers
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to get at. How much of an outlier can you consider India to be? How much of the British Empire's pop count comes from India? How much of the world pop do you think spain conquered in south america?
Jordan Perez
>Without empire origin countries this world would be a massive shit hole
This world IS a massive shit hole. There only 4 non-european countries that arent garbage. USA, Australia, Canada and Japan.
Hunter Long
Well, you could try projecting backward based on current population to figure it out.
There are more people in India alone than in all of Spain's former colonies, though.
Like the spainbro said earlier this isn't the best way of trying to compare because populations change nonlinearly.
Christian Hernandez
India might have made up to 1/2 of the population in British empire based on current populations, but they did do censuses sometimes so you can try to look for those.
Bentley Perez
>People only speak English because of America
What a fucking retarded statement
Lucas Foster
Romans were gradually poisoning their entire population with lead from pipes, and hardly any of them could eat meat, sustaining themselves mostly on vegetables and fruits, so not only were they sickly, but they were frail compared to Germanics who ate meat and drank milk.
The real lesson to learn is that you shouldn't drink lead or be a vegetarian.
Parker Collins
but is a fact u can spread English in Africa as first lenguage neither in Asia
Charles Evans
>scared of forests
But wasn't Britain almost entirely forrested back when the Romans invaded?
Jaxon Smith
>which empire controlled europe at its height? The french
Wyatt Torres
But we still spread it to those regions, and ruled over those regions for years and years and made it a staple language taught and spoken, It's idiotic to say we had no influence on these places speaking English
Jackson Collins
yes u do lots of things there but spread ur culture wasn't one of them
Samuel Brooks
M8 Britain barely ever won. If Napoleon didn't chimp out the Brittish empire would have been smaller than the Portuguese empire
Hunter Wilson
I didn't mention culture at all and neither did you, we were talking about language
Austin Hernandez
>1/3 or 1/4 More like 1/2
Hudson Myers
Numbers. Forests. Incompetent Roman commanders.
Carson Hall
He's projecting
Landon Cooper
well, language, religion, culture and lots of things that define ur nation, don't get me wrong that could see as good thing by some people to keep the African lenguages or the induism or things like that
Matthew Powell
>It's idiotic to say we had no influence on these places speaking English
You are right. But if the US voted for German as their main language German would be the "world" language and with that i dont mean spoken by the most people but used in shit like e.g. NATO or UN.
