How they went from glorious SPQR to modern shitty Italy?

meds took over the leadership previously held by nords

G*rmans happened. The destroyers of Europe for more than a millennium.

Two sides.

What is the correct one?

all civilizations fall and never reach their peak again
nords are just experiencing this

Italics for being around so long have done quite well nevertheless to this day, same can't be said about all ancient peoples

too much germanic admixture

Neither.

Greatness creates vanity, there have never been a people more vain then Imperial Romans, the amount of backstabbing and civil wars that occurred during that period are unrivaled. Everything else that happened was just a symptom of this.

Sup Forums gods are teasing us.

Occam's razor. Italy became a collection of wealthy city states after the fall of Rome, and Italians collectively decided to become sleazy, lazy, dishonest dirtbags.

I really never understand this. italians were so good during roman times ,rennaisance they bloomed also ,but nowadays they somehow are fucked. Where did their skill go?

Tech became a more important factor than population size.
In classical times, more men almost always meant victory and subjugation. There was a shift around the 18th century that led to smarter countries with smaller populations gaining an edge on them.

Nowhere, it's just that your population caught up.
Let's say 2% of the german population are above 130 IQ, and only 1% of italians are.
Of course, when Italy had a much greater population size, they had a bigger elite. Nowadays however, that great population gap no longer exists.

?

ya this but

spqr still around yall can help pls old briton lad ya

time is now

but dear hue, we wuz also reinassance.
Small countries like Florence and Venice, with small population that made history.
And now we are only pizza and mafia

>And now we are only pizza and mafia
And sports cars

Germans happened, of course.
But they didn't come from nowhere. Romans had fucked themselves pretty bad by then.

If you read the History you will learn that Rome was glorious when it had competition and it appeared there fate was to perish.
When they got too big and started to see themselves as the great empire with no threats and no competition... so that they could even use the barbarians... then Germans happened.

Lel he thinks Italians are amerimutts.

... and Berlusconi.

Romans were also technologically superior. But surpassing Roman tier technology wasn't much of an achievement. Now you have to be best at developing ICBMs, nuclear submarines and jet fighters. And you also need to have good economy to support it.

>In classical times, more men almost always meant victory and subjugation.

Really?
Look at Rome's original size and look what they conquered little by little.

Unification was a mistake.

(though probably also a necessity)

So....


Nowadays...If America were Rome, the mexicans would be the germans?

>But surpassing Roman tier technology wasn't much of an achievement.

Fuck it wasn't they literally forgot how to make concrete for a thousand years after rome fell

Literally temporary bridges built by roman legions are still in daily use around the world

...

Every fabric of my soul wishes Italians to rise up and be what their ancestors were.
Same for my country and the rest of Europe, especially Germany, the third reich wasn’t finished faggots.

unification. Italy has at least 3-4 countries inside it.

This. When it's not the kikes, it's the krauts.

CAESARS

>Italy has at least 3-4 countries inside it.

Probably hundreds of them rotfl.
Italy was united under the italian language pop's that shared an history, civilization and a legacy

Meme countries wouldn't count. A Balkanized Italy would be split between.
>Rome
>Sicily
>Genoa
>Venice

We have 20 regions wich are more or less OK.
Some are just too big and need to be split
A federation of 22-25 countries will be the best

Almost.

...

It was the crisis of the third century that really destroyed Rome. What happened 150 years after was simply a symptom of a weakened Rome.
