Why did Egypt fail to progress into the modern age?
Map is kind of shit, Slovenia is more developed than northern bulgaria or romania
every one has its time. modern age is shit anyway, the more backwards Portugal is, the better for me
Tbqh if the modern age means processed food, the kardashians, capeshit, gucci gang, etc, I'd rather be bacwards
What is a progressive modern world for you?
2 things
industrial revolution happened first in northern europe
catholic work ethic, culture of working to live not living to work.
and this
Dictatorship for too long and other incompetent leadership
>catholic work ethic
That's why bavarians are the most developed in germany right?And ireland is more developed than the uk?
quality olive oil and enjoying sunshine
Purely white people just got slowly puhed into more north from optimal climates by masses lower races breeding, Nowdays you cant even call Germany or United Kingdom white.

triumph of absolutism and the church and in the case of Spain several civil wars.

fuck, if Spain and Italy are considered "poor and backwards" then what's left for us and Argentina?
I never said there werent exceptions
Some of the most industrial areas of France are located in the South and South West.
Lombardia is literally the most productive region in the EU
baravia is barely majority catholic, and they still live in a country with a bigger protestant than catholic population. it's pretty clear that protestant countries do better on average than catholic. but of course you take offense instead of asking what you could do better - that's the catholic mentality.
Consider that Spain sustained a global empire for about 300 years straight while dealing with all sort of wars and opposition in Europe.
Portugal was always a small country who got stuck into economic vassalage to Britain in the 1600's already. Italy was divided for a millenia.
All those things interfered in the modern configuration of those countries.
Chile is as developed as spain was in 2006, you guys are catching up while northern and southern europe are plateuing since they are so developed . do you have hope chile will make it to current western levels of development in your life time?
All I see is that Sweden looks slightly better than Italy on these charts
You basement dweller in the north think that southern Europe is some Africa tier shithole, but Tbh I'd rather live a comfy life in my rural southern Europe than any of your frozen wastelands
Civilizations rise and fall
The West is past its zenith, it's falling.
Only Whiteoids haven't realized it yet.
Southern France has the same level of life as the rest of France. Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur(South Westmost region on the map) has the third highest GDP and GDP per capita in France. French people from Occitania also contributed heavily to French schools of thinking, politics and art that shaped our modern society, with figures like Montaigne, Montesquieu, Cyrano de Bergerac, Marquis de Sade, Adolphe Thiers, Marcel Pagnol, Paul Cézanne and Honoré de Balzac.
Well OF COURSE, the African man is made for Africa etc
fixed map
red = undeveloped savages
interestingly mexico is also as developed as ireland in 1990
You mothrfucking mena animsl I would toss you all in concentration camps nigger skinned animals.
.ooooooo
If I had an army I would rampage through all of Europe and eliminating all.aggression and hostility towards a nationalist order rather than the eliminstion of all agression of nationalists and no fucking kike army will stop my army.
incompetent politicians with no vision in the long term. Also fuck you, italy is one of the biggest contributors to the EU, and we give more than we recive.
>find Americas

>goes too long, Republicans bring down the Monarchy
>Republic is shit

>enter the Euro for the same reasons, destroy the industry we had and become a tourist country
>now our educated young people are moving out to Central/Nordic countries and the Government is replacing them for immigrants
we have a fine future ahead of us :)
OP put a map of Mediterranean Europe, not a map about what country is better according to him, you low IQ, otherwise you'd be on the map since Hungary is poorer than all the countries showed in the map of OP.
idk about pyrenees but alps are NOT underdeveloped
According to wiki, Germany has:
Protestantism (34.2%)
Catholic Church (31.9%)
That's almost the same.
And Bavaria has 23.4% of protestants and 58.6% of Catholics. That's a lot of difference.
idk about others but we did, it's just that the g*rmans are destoying our economy now (euro)
>All I see is that Sweden looks slightly better than Italy on these charts
are you illiterate?
no I don't think so
Besides, all of Europe's "protestant" countries are atheist by now.
Muh statistics
Reminder that nord countries have been above average for some 50 years and they are already going to shit, in 100 years they will be dead because of the demographic shift. Congrats was it worth it? I'd rather earn my 800 euros here and live a comfy life and 2000 euros in Sweden where you end up spending more money anyways for less quality of life and you also get muslims and niggers for it. The Jews are lying since they want all countries to be like the nords...cucked beyong repair.
>They used to rule the world for centuries
Implying any of the people coming from the red coloured countries have anything to do with the people who actually ruled the world for centuries.
stop acting as if Portugal is Poland or some shit
wow...
so this is...
the power of italy...
have you been to galicia?
Islam (by which I mean Umayyads and Ottomans, not rapefugees)
Are you autistic?
Basement dwellers on Sup Forums don't realize that small towns in romance Europe is the best life on earth
>They used to rule the world for centuries
Actually since 9,000 BC, in any case, nigga, everything falls apart, you are enjoying this hiatus of being the most advanced civilizations at this very moment. Enjoy it and try to stop the sjw mindset that's destroying your societies.
But Spain and Portugal both peaked, AFTER they kicked the Muslims out.
>Actually since 9,000 BC
Nigga your we-wuzzing levels are over 9000.
In that case, it's because they were neutral during the world wars, so they never got gibs from America like Germany et al. did.

>Consider that Spain sustained a global empire for about 300 years straight while dealing with all sort of wars and opposition in Europe.
Don't expect people to know much about history and forget about spanish history when most spaniards don't even know it. We basically fought the first world war in all known continents and even we had to fight internal revolts at the same time. Sudacas ask where is muh gold, well, it was wasted in those wars and wasn't enough considering we invented the sovereign default.

remember that we are genetically closer to the people that built stonehenge than modern brits because we have a high anatolian neolithic admixture
>hurr durr Portugal is based go suck your Ahmed dick Sven
you guys have no idea how fucking retarded you all look, it's sad really, pls commit suicide
Well, someone has to correct him.
Why do you talk like it is some african hellhole? lol
The countries are modern and first world and life is more pleasant compared to the cold grey north
dunno if memeing or not but thats just artifacts because its different shades of red that i could not remove
It's funny because we have the second highest life expectancy on the fucking planet, I mean, for how long could we live if we were as rich as white euros?
Yeah, life in Mediterranean Europe is one of the haelthiest on the planet
Quality food, quality weather, family oriented life, friendly people. But of course those things don't show up in HDI charts
Because BLACK
shit map, Catalonia and Aragon are southern Europe
>pyrenees
he used paint
What I get from these maps:
Pleasant climate = Land of undeveloped savages
Could they be related? Is suffering through the horrendous climate of northern Europe the key to our success?
Why are Korean posters suddenly so hatefull and obsessed towards Finland?
El gallegANO
because japan likes finland, so korea has to hate it
>atheism is a good thing

Gee, sure sucks to live in Southern Europe.
>Catholic work ethic
Servus
Northgermans lay around drinking coffee. Ffs cut the crap u pos.
Genetics. Southrons have nigger and Arab genes preventing them from progressing as well as the real whites up north. It's the harsh truth that lefties will never accept
what was preveting germans/scandinavians from "progress" during roman time etc?
Colder weather. Southern Europeans had it easy because they didn't have to put a big effort into farming and cultivating
>payed for by the northerners
This is such a meme, don't know about Portugal and Spain, but Italy has a positive net contribution to the EU
But white people are by far superior genetically and they are the smartest humans. I blame jews.
we don't, but entering the Euro and the EU was a mistake either way
You forgot the best part of northen italy, we are meds too
>>sun
not you achievement
>>great food, fresh
we have that too
>>relaxed
>>no worries
>>payed for by the northerners who've been clinging on to our deeds after all these centuries.
all these things are behavior akin to lazy middle eastern immigrants

yes the last 50 years have totally been better for us than for them
>Slovenia
>Croatia
yeah nah fuck off
You treat us like Arabs might as well behave like ones.
>replying

change 4 lines and its exactly Spain's story
>81 posts
>nobody has said the extremely obvious reason
After the Age of Discovery, the center of trade shifted from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, this led to a permanent decline in the wealth and political fortunes of the region.
yeah how did you guys go from a fascist regime to the one we have now? we suffered a communist coup but you didn't
>why do you pride yourself on being like middle eastern immigrants
We're pretty much the same. Suebis Celts and Visigoths BTFO
Is North Europe modernized?
Not Denmark, those guys are inbred mongs.
>You treat us like Arabs might as well behave like ones.
i agree
we give too much money to both of you
we are you making fun of your brothers?
does the norwegian know anything but dividing and scheming?
>we give too much money to both of you
And you'll keep giving you north euro cuck, for that is your purpose in life.
