All the white nations of Africa are glorious hero nations of old.

Take your pick ... Fa male.

Not that I like it's ideology, but it's interesting in historical context.

And I mean, I live in it

So your choices would be:
>living in Austrian Lombardia which was a complete administrative clusterfuck thanks to Metternich
>living under the Pope which is always shit
>living in the Kingdom of Sardinia which likely meant you're living in shitty Sardinia, so no-go
>living in the medieval feudal shithole which was the Kingdom of Two Sicilies
>living in those shitty duchies that got tossed around like a young David Bowie in San Quentin

San Marino is absolutely fine tebehe

*tips fedora*

Pretty sad what happened to Liberia.

wew

The Free City of Lucca

>Brazil

never a country
not even Uruguay recognized them

Why was the Holy Roman Empire the biggest cluster-fuck in all of human history?

It's fruity pebble time

Just because a state wasn't recognized doesn't mean it wasn't real

F

Best uniforms.

are those PF Flyer hi-tops?

Those look like garbage holy shit

German autism at it's finest

You just mad cuz you haven't got a 7.62mm FN-FAL aka "the right hand of the free west", a pair of tackies and nice legs to go with bootyshorts.

Those are European/African mercenaries hired by Belgium though during the Simba war.

Shit nailed the coffin shut on mercenary legality.

My point on the bootyshorts still stands.

You're an absolute madman m8

It's great how much I see people post this stuff, it wasn't that long ago but the first day Veeky Forums started and for over a month I tripfagged as Katanga and was telling people about Congolese history and the Katanga region.

I even spoke of Katumbi and the hope for him to run for president and now look :3

Mind copypasting your old posts ITT? I'm curious to know more about this country's brief history (and also Biafra). Do you know much about South Kasai as well?

taking prisoners was easy because the yugoslav soldiers were basically surrounded in their garrisons the moment slovenia declared its independence

Holy shit. This is the literal axis of evil.

Why is the support so random? Both sides are supported by NATO and WP and African countries.

Two Sicilies was the most backwards kingdom in Europe though.

>living in Austrian Lombardia which was a complete administrative clusterfuck thanks to Metternich

I'd take an incompetent government over a completely shitty government.

>tfw no more Brandenburg-Prussia

LITERAL AGRARIAN BASED SUPERPOWER WAS THE FUTURE YOU COULD'VE HAD

How these small fucks burned Europe so many times over the next 300 years just baffles me, fucking passive neighbours are the worst.

Too soon.

>Be Texas
>Thousands of brave men of all backgrounds fight and die for Texan freedom and independence
>Texas emerges an independent nation
>Within a decade hands over sovereignty to the United States
>Mirabeau Lamar warned Texas that annexation would eventually lead to Texan subjugation.

Besides the slaves i pretty much agree with them

>superpower
>this is what rednecks actually beleive

See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Circle_(proposed_country)

Slavery would've end by the turn of the century (at the absolute latest) regardless. Especially if the war had been won in 1863 or 1864 after the extraordinary carnage and destruction of the war had irrecoverably affected Southern society or if the Confederacy had adopted Cleburne's proposal of emancipating slaves in exchange for military service earlier and had managed to turn the tide. Cleburne himself remarked in his writings that his proposal for arming slaves would effectively be the end of slavery, but that it was still preferable to Northern subjugation.

The very act of secession and going to war basically shot the institution of slavery in the foot with a .69 Caliber Buck n' Ball musket. Even in the best of circumstances, the South would've been left with a less than friendly neighbor who would be willing to either finance slave revolts to destabilize the country or at the very least be accepting of escaped slaves, an army that wasn't sufficient in size to put down the next John Brown wannabe, and a poor white population that would have been increasingly unwilling to do the bidding of the Planter class.

Liberia was always shit

I don't understand that at all. As someone who's spent a lot of time in Africa, trekking through the bush in short shorts would be literal hell. If there's one thing I'd want it'd be pants.

>Cleburne's proposal of emancipating slaves in exchange for military service

Slaves weren't stupid, they would have realized that meant the end of the Confederacy was near and would have either been the shittiest fighters ever or just revolted after being armed and crossed into Union lines.

Not always 2bh.

Right in the kidneys. Would have made a great counterweight to Yankees

:^)
