The results are in: Britain is the best European country. Let's give them all a round of applause and meet back in 3016 to see who wins round 2.

Stopped reading there
What European country has a better flag than Britain?
Yeah, but in raw numbers you just can't compete.
Albania objectively have the best flag

Spain was ruled by muslims for centuries, Hamid.

>Best politicians (by default of not having any country-destroyingly poor ones)
Literally behind the whole idea of the EU and actually started the shit. Look at the picture. There's a French politician for you, Hamid. And no, that is not fake
What is the best flag then?
Got to be either wales or Albania as far as subject matter goes.
The world declared war on germany

I swear to god, mate. The only thing Spain is good at is looking at their neighbours and copying them.
Spain was responsible for exploring most of the Americas.
Yeah, after we lead the way there. The ships that left Corunha to America were copied from Portuguese designs. The captains they hired were Portuguese and Italians.
Portuguese were also the ones that explored most of South America (the bandeirantes during the Iberian Union, which is why Brazil is huge), the African coasts and the Indian Ocean.
Spain's greatest independent feat was the ability to Conquer native land. But even that the Brits did better.
>Germany
>>Best philosophers
Aristotle and Socrates are crying
The thread title specifies that it's the past 1000 years only. Also Plato > Socrates
I didn't know the captains were portuguese, I only knew about the Italians. Thank you.
austria
I really like Spain and Serbia
And that map is incomplete. David Melgueiro explored the artic sea. And Cristovão Mendonça the south east seas Asutralia NZ and Timor
Check that ID. Time to stop shitposting Atilla.

No. Only reason they are highly valued is that they were Greek and shieeet.
I mean if you read through their texts, it really makes you cringe.
National anthem I can understand (better than yours), but the French have so many silent letters it amazes me that they won't shut up altogether
Yet they managed to fight back and retake the whole peninsula.
I don't know about Socrates, but Aristotle was a genius. His work was so good that it actually stifled scientific development because people wouldn't argue with it. Fuck, it was seriously taught into the early 1800s.

Their leaders are weak. they fell for magnacarta faggotry begining the degeneracy we call liberal democracy
Aristotle and Socrates are so good and influential because they were seeking for the truth not just coming up with shitty and fake stories like Plato. Aristotle has described the purest and most natural human experience
holy fuck that map is shit
dad, you guys certainly didn't discover Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, fucking Egypt or Morocco
Also that Australia is really suspicious
>>>Best writers
>80% Irish
I can't really talk about the other ones you listed, but seriously? Shakespeare and Milton alone fuck the entire history of Ireland by themselves.

Who was Yates?
Who was Wilde?
Who was Joyce?
Who was J. Swift?
Who was Shaw?
Who was Stoker?
Who was Beckett?
France should get best anti kebab
All of those people are great, particularly Oscar Wilde, but they don't hold a candle to Shakespeare.
You lost the Napoleonic Wars.
Eh, he said the past 1,000 years, not the past 100 years
thats the power of populist nationalism for ya
t. newfie
i wonder who could be behind this post
But we won the French Revolutionary Wars (the ones on the pic)
So out of two wars we waged against the entire world, we won one and lost one
Meanwhile Germany....
Yeah, big whoop.
SO YOU BE SAYING WE WUZ CONTROLLING BRAZIL AND SHEEIT?
it's Yeats, ;^)
It´s more about where we went. For exemple, there is still a fortress in UAE Emirates, and also you can search for cristovao mendonça the discover of australia coast
I second this
That's a good point, I retract my statement.
Yeh, we austrians sure stay out of trouble and never cause any world wars or at least major european ones
Forget about hillary, world war three rolls out as soon as we feel a bit miffed again
In modern Europe. The past is the past. If you want to go back then, why not to Charlemege or Napoleon? They lost two wars compared to thousands of years of domination. And now, which is really the only relevant to discussion, France has the largest army in all the EU. Of course, there is more to Europe than just EU. Russia is actually king.
