I know that they used to have entire Europe before other tribes came to Europe (Slavs, Germanics, etc). And what happened then? Romans just took entire southern Europe, Slavs just took entire eastern Europe etc... Normans also took their last island, Nordic people also raped them a lot throughout history, and than they proceeded to be slaves in the British empire, even in USA they were considered pests and did the most labor intense work for little or no pay. Can Celtic people even compete with other peoples? I have green eyes and kinda red hair with that weird skin that goes pink in the sun, feels bad man..
But why tho? Why is there no Celtic state/government/organization, that is working for the sake of Celtic people's interests and survival? Why is there no Celtic army taking land from the non-Celts this whole time of recorded history? Seems like you cunts cant even take that tiny little irrelevant strip of land on YOUR OWN ISLAND.
Fucking hell m8. Not even to mention you DONT EVEN SPEAK YOUR OWN LANGUAGE IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY, it's all very demoralizing.

Umm,WE sacked Rome,we created most modern cuisine in North Western Europe,we are responsible for advancements in weaponry, we were excellent bards and warriors,we were poets,scholar's and lovers and most of all,we were conquerors. Why you foreigners were having sex with camels in the middle east we were ruling and advancing. We ARE the greatest civilisation to ever exist. Just look at our art and culture. Look at how much modern society has been influenced by US!

This place where I live right now, Belgrade, used to be called as Singidunum or something I dont know, but they found evidence of civilization over there, and the evidence shows that Celtic tribe used to live in this city way before Romans took it....
Than I looked into other cities in Europe and Celtic remains were found all over, so the people who do this kind of thing proved that Celts used to be all over Europe before Romans, Germanic, and Slav tribes of today.

None of you even learned about the Great Celtic Civilisations when you were in school. All of your knowledge comes from Sup Forums and Wikipedia. Yawn!

Honestly culture is less relevant in this than genetics I think, because culture can be changed easily.. I really hope than that Celtic downfall was thanks to the culture.

Celtiberians were just one of the many tribes and romans used the celtic term as a meme for savages. In any case we are berbers.

>Why is there no Celtic state/government/organization, that is working for the sake of Celtic people's interests and survival? There are organisations that try to preserve the languages, but they're dying out due to lack of interest from young people. No one wants to learn a dead language when all the media they want is in english.
>Why is there no Celtic army taking land from the non-Celts We got fucked A LOT throughout history, we have nowhere near enough numbers to take on even just the UK. Besides claiming land in the name of your race has been pretty unpopular for the past 70 years or so.
>this whole time of recorded history The Romans cut off Celtic expansion, we once had Celts living as far as Turkey. After that the Germanics came in and took advantage of our weaker numbers.
Thanks for the support Gaul.
The ruling class in England may have been Anglo-Saxon for some time now but the population stayed mostly Celtic.

>>Pagan Ireland >>controlled Scotland When Gaels first came to Scotland they were already christian. That's part of the reason they were able to easily culturally eclipse the Picts as the Picts had to look to Gaelic scripture to study Christianity.
Also, Ireland never controlled Scotland. Gaels who had their origins in Ulster came to Scotland and created their own Kingdom, ruled from Scotland.
Dylan Russell
>celts >entire europe
They were just a bunch of tribes that happened to share a related language, it wasn't a state.
Juan Wood
If you look above I said that such organization would fight for the survival and securing the Celtic interests and UK has done the opposite of that, enslaving the Celtic people at times, and numerous other things which were purely against the Celtic people....... making UK the anti-Celtic organization much more than pro-Celtic organization.
That's as close to a state as it gets back then. Slavs also didnt have 'a state' back then when took a whole bunch of land in Europe.

what killed celts was leftism. they allowed women to be chiefs, celts walked around with lots of jewels, while those who defeated them later on were strong patriarchal societies.
Celts became degenerates and lost because of it.

>Why is there no Celtic state/government/organization, that is working for the sake of Celtic people's interests and survival? People don't care much for a 'Celtic identity' in the real world just as people don't care for a Slavic identity in the real world (outside certain spergs on Sup Forums). If you're Irish, you will consider yourself Irish not celtic. If you are Scottish you will consider yourself Scottish, British or both but not 'celtic'.
There are organisations in the celtic nations out there to preserve their respective languages but that's as far as it goes because celtic is a linguistic term and not much else. Ireland, Wales and Scotland all have different quirks in their cultures that don't really vary more from eachother than they do from English culture.

Why are those traits associated with Celts and not being swarthy and short instead? Celts were described as swarthy manlets by the Romans. And it shows in the phenotype of British people sometimes. Brits are pretty short compared to northern Euros.
Easton King
>Celts were described as swarthy manlets by the Romans. No they actually weren't. If you read real roman accounts on the appearance of the Gauls they thought they were bloody giants.
The fourth-century Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus wrote that the Gauls were tall and light-blue eyed >Nearly all the Gauls are of a lofty stature, fair and ruddy complexion: terrible from the sternness of their eyes, very quarrelsome, and of great pride and insolence. A whole troop of foreigners would not be able to withstand a single Gaul if he called his wife to his assistance who is usually very strong and with blue eyes...
Logan Lee
..there's so much wrong in your post, where do I even start?
First of all, Romans considered both Germanic and Celtic people they encountered as really tall savage people, with Germanics occasionally having blond hair and Celtic occasionally having red hair.
And (modern) British phenotype is not the same as old (pure) Celtic phenotype so you kinda compared apples and oranges over there, Brits have Celtic in them but also have Normans, Saxons, etc...
Hunter Morales
There are traces of them in Poland as well.

European populations conquered by the Romans:
>The Greeks: Masters of civilization, art, literature and mathematics, their culture got almost wiped away
state before getting killed:semi innocent
>The Etruscans: a proto indo European people, enlightened, with women rights and sick art and architecture, their peceaful ways and creativity was soon stumped by the Romans
state before getting killed:innocence
>The Iberians: an ancient people, mysterious but civilized and rich, they met a mysterious end aswell State before conquest: innocent
>The Sardinians:
The most ancient civilization west of Greece, their numerous and mysterious monuments and works of art still puzzle archeologists, while good soldiers, they still got brutally slaughtered by Rome and its greed
State before conquest: innocent
>The celts: Uncivilized, ferocious, vulgar and hostile, the celts were a savage people, who used to perform human sacrifice and often involved in raids, they frequently attacked Rome without any reason other than greed and bloodlust, but they still failed at the only thing they were interested in: war and conquest, since both the Romans and Germanics made micemeat of them.
State before conquest: guilty.
Jordan Long
There's no objective right or wrong.... might makes right, no peoples are entitled to any lands, what is yours is what you can defend.
My question is, why did Celts perform worse than some others (Rome, Germanic tribes, Slavic tribes, etc).

Celts loved warfare, and plunder, and frequently led war against germanic tribes, greeks, romans, and other celtic tribes, they could never have create a state or an organized society, in the end they died from their incapacity to unite themselves. .
Josiah Myers
I wonder how come they never united once they saw that a whole bunch of people who speak like them and look like them started getting wiped out... I mean Greek city states all united once Persia showed up.
Chase Ross
Reminder that France, Spain, Portugal, England, Southern Germany, and Northern Italy are all mainly Celtic.

As i said they were selfish, if you read the conquest of Gauls written by Caesar you will learn that the starting point of the roman invasion was a war between the Averni-Sequani helped by the germani and the Aedui helped by the romans and the allobroges.

There is no singular "Celtic people", it's just a broad association based on related language and mythology. The Welsh and Irish languages are not even very recognisable to each other in the way that Italian and Spanish are, for example.
Jaxon Myers
And that is a bad thing when it comes to Celtic people, and really all peoples. If warring Greek city states didnt unite against Persia, there would be no more any Greek peoples. If warring German tribes didnt eventually unite against Rome, there would be no more any German tribes. If warring Slavic tribes didnt unite in Russia against the Mongols there would be no more any Slavs over there.
It's weird that Celtic people, who are all Celtic (speak in a certain way and look in a certain way), never united against foreigners that today hold all the lands.
Kinda same thing with Natives of America, instead of banding together they were buying the weapons from Europeans instead in order to kill each other and now do not exist as a state.
Camden Jones
Not really, it's basically the difference between "How are you?" and "How's it going?" in English. It's just a preference for a particular phrasing, both are grammatically valid and intelligible.
Carter Rivera

>In any case we are berbers. Why spaniards on Sup Forums are constantly repeating they are berbers? you know if some of your ancestors were muslims during some times that doesn't mean they are obviously berbers, they could be just converted people who pretend to be muslims just for not being dhimmis like some eastern europeans and re-adopted christianity after that.

Levi Cox
There were attempts to unite against common enemies in individual Celtic areas many times. As for why all of "Celtdom" didn't united, again, it's because they were very loosely related to begin with. Britain and Ireland are also both separated from the continent and from each other, and they dealt with different invaders and largely different times. When Germanic invaders came to Britain, there would be no reason for the Irish to try to help out their 'Celtic brothers' because they didn't see the Britons as particularly related to them. The Britons spoke a language that was largely unintelligible to the Irish, and practiced a different (Romanized at this point) culture. The fact that the peoples there were even Celtic is a modern classification, because on examination the languages are related to the classical Celts, who were the Gauls.

> but they still failed
Implying Gauls ceased to plunder Italy
The Battle of the Allia was fought between the Senones, one of the Gallic tribes which had invaded northern Italy, and the Romans. It was fought at the confluence of the rivers Tiber and Allia, eleven Roman miles north of Rome. The Romans were routed and subsequently the Senones sacked Rome. The common date given for the battle is 390 BC. This is based on the account of the battle by the Roman historian Livy and the Varronian Chronology, a Roman dating system. Following the ancient Greek historian Polybius, who used a Greek dating system, instead, yields 387/6 BC. Tacitus said that the battle took place the 15 before the Kalends of August, which is 18 July.[1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Allia
