Why is Spainito a country but Scotland isn't...

Why is Spainito a country but Scotland isn't? Spainito is no more culturally distinct from Spain than Scotland is from England.

Because they are better than us in all aspects and whiter. Or at least is what they say.

Iberia to British isles comparisons

Portugal = republic of Ireland

Castile = england

Catalunya = Scotland

Northern Ireland works as both Basque country or Galicia

>Spainito is no more culturally distinct from Spain than Scotland is from England.

t. guy that never left his basement

Galicia = Northern Ireland
great analogy

they got their independence like 1000 years ago, from then they developed their own thing.
if you want to compare scotland to a spanish thing that'd be cataluña, like this guy said

We fought wars to stay independent, the Scottish had a referendum and voted against leaving.

Scotland is a joke """country""", tbqh, England is much better.

this is accurate

Where do you put Aragon, Valencia, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Andalucia, Extremadura, Murcia, Asturias, Cantabria, Navarra, Leon, Rioja and Andalucia?

sorry i wrote andalucia twice

Because Castile got BTFO by Nuno Álvares Perreira at the battle of Aljubarrota.

No.

Portugal = England
Galicia = Brittany
Spain = France

I don't recall Ireland brutally beating the shit out of England ever.

Portugal and Spain are better compared to Netherlands and Germany.
The Dutch and Germans are both Germanic, the low German dialects of the Germans who border the Netherlands are practically the same as Dutch, and both countries were born from the same Kingdom in the middle ages.
Both Portugal and Castile were counties of the kingdom of Leon that became independent.

This, Portugal achieved its independence in a respectful, brave and glorious way using its own hands. Portugal demonstrated in history that even if they are less people than in Spain, they are strong in war and know how to make allies. The referendum is for fags.

Going from German to dutch is like going from european portuguese to spanish.
spanish is overly simplified and sounds dirty.

>born from the same Kingdom in the middle ages.
Except that Castille ate dad :(

>Castille ate the dad

It was a righteous anschluss. Just like Navarre did before to everyone else. There was plenty of banter and antropophaghic anschlusses going on in the XI, but what is truly unforgiveble is the breakaway of Portugal.

Most horrendous crime ever in the Reconquista. We'll build a wall and you will pay for it, Moortugal.

aragon- north england
valencia - malta or cyprus territory
balearic isles - isle of Man
canary islands - jersey + the other one
andalucia - syria
extremadura - cornwal
murcia - palestine
asturias - wales
cantabria - more wales
navarra - scotish hinterlands
leon - marches
rioja - that tiny bit of land betwen cornwall and english proper

it wasn’t us the ones attacking christians instead of muslims during reconquista (you fuckers kept granada in muslim hand for a century just because the tribute was better than the spoils of war). Castillian honour was always just for show tbqh

>Castillian honour was always just for show tbqh

That's rich coming from the only christian kingdom that wasn't present at Navas de Tolosa yet hurried up the first to scavenge clay after the general muslim disarray that followed up in the next decades.

Portuguese honor is English-tier.

>navas de tolosa
we were there, not in full force (but only the military orders were anyway).
Now how about al kacer el qibir? the king of spain promissed an army capable of a crusade, and yet not even a warning was issued by the spanish garrison in nearby melilla or oran
conveniently the king of portugal died there and the austrian boy hit jackpot

>Portuguese honor is English-tier.
but of course it is, otherwise we would faced the same fate leon or navarra had.

>Catalonia = Never was a country
>Scotland = Was/Is a country
Huh

No. Galicia could be something like Wales there's no strong independent movement there, all the conservatives leaders of Spain come from there even Franco and is ruled by the PP

>Galicia hellbent on ruining Spain

Truly the Portuguese-est.

More like Galicia, we are poor as fuck but on the other hand basques went full retard with ETA and they had a lot of violence and even nowadays they still do some low profile "terrorism" (according to the government of course).

Retarded. He didn't compare them in that manner.

Its simple, scots are cucks. Just look at the brexit referendum, they voted stay but still they remain under perfidious albion's boot, like the cucks that they are.

well not that bad we were almost like Portugal after our civil war but then from 1959 to 1974 we growth a lot, and that's why even our worst, Murcia Extremadura some places in Andalucia, is far better than lot of countries including urs
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_miracle
and that was made with a galician ruling Spain

>scots are cucks

We tried to help, though.

>The Spanish regulars stood their ground well, but found that most of their allies had deserted them, so they too retreated up the hill.

And some fun fact:

>It was the last close engagement of British and foreign troops in Great Britain.

We had the shot for something similar, but since we held on to the colonies, we started bleeding money since 61 on the army, and after 74 the commies wasted it all.

I think the biggest problem for Spain and Portugal are being so far away from the centre of Europe to facilitate trade and industrial development.

U try to keep Angola? we got lots of civil wars during the XIX and that's the real problem with spanish industry, also France is horrible 4 us as ally

Yeah, we had no problems with civil war, comparatively, but the independence war came at the worst time, when we actually had some money to invest elsewhere.

Then again, there is never a good time.

This. Whoever wants to be independent has to fight for it with tears and blood, and not with a barely representative and propaganda ridden referendum.

the war on angola was a walk in the park compared to guinea
angola was extremely rich and salazar had many plans to do with it, and even as the colonial war went on, the government kept funeling money into it (the grow was impressive as well, compared to the steady 1% growth salazar stuck to)
after the coup, the commies gave the colonies to like/minded revolutionaries and moved on like nothing had happened. Internal chaos insued and all countries regressed a lot

Scotland created the United Kingdom not England, and that brilliant union conquered 1/2 the world together,and bought more art, science, and innovation to this planet than any other nation in the history of the world.

Scotland as a culturally separate identity is mostly based upon 19th century romantic Victorian notions of hairy highlanders in kilts, when most of the country never spoke Gaelic, never work kilts and had more in common with their neighbours to the south than essential Irish immigrants that settled Scotland in the dark ages and stayed in the west.

Then came the rise in "Scottish nationalism" you see currently which is in fact far leftist socialism. Most "Scots" have bought into it, and additionally they have pandered to every type of minority for the popular vote.

Those who remain conservative, white, and identify as British Scots, and those who oppose the bureaucracy of the EU, voted rightfully NOT to turn the country over to a bunch of pinkos who were pro-immigration and pro-EU and sought to destroy one of the most successful unions in history so they could retire with comfy EU pensions after they were done turning Scotland into a subservient leftist EU state.

Questions?

Don't the Scottish regret not leaving after the brexit vote?

The Scottish referendum came before the Brexit vote.

The Scottish referendum failed.

The socialist cunts that wanted to remain in the EU now threaten a new Scottish referendum so they can somehow stay in the EU and have no real plan, and are hurting the economy though the instability they are causing.

>and bought more art, science, and innovation to this planet than any other nation in the history of the world
sure can u plz give back the friezes of Athens

Yeah, why vote and be a pacifist democratic movement that is denied when you can start killing everyone who doesn't speak your language, right?

>implying you have to kill everyone who doesn't speak it instead of just fighting those who oppose independence
>implying Rajoy didn't make it crystal clear a democratic referendum won't be accepted or even allowed to determine the future of the region

Thanks.

I want to hold a referendum on whether to throw the catalans out into Congo.

I hope you are democratic enough to respect the results of the free, democratic and peaceful vote of the people on the referendum, user.

but we r doing the opposite, we r trowing Congo there......
