The HRE had to deal with the eternal frog for hundreds of years.

most of the time they ignored the worthless shell that was the HRE for Austria or Prussia

Step up

You and your image are retarded

Are you British or one of these inferior tribesmen spearchuckers apologists that trive on Veeky Forums?

But he's not wrong, whats so great about conquering people who could barely defend themselves?

The fact that we stopped the French from doing it instead

>Seven Years War
>Napoleonic Wars

Maybe with what those cultures were replaced with?? And how just because it was easy diminishes owning a quarter of the globe and making english the lingua franca?

Not really, they did exactly the same thing in africa.

Wow! The french got to own the western Sahara, while we got to own the entirety of the gold and diamond producing South Africa and Rhodesia

>and making english the lingua franca?

Brtain didnt do that, stop the revisionism
French was still the lingua franca at the height of the British Empire
English only replaced it after WW2 when the US became the global hegemon

You beat the French in Canada and that's it
The entire rest of your empire (90% of it) was built in the late 19th century while bullying savages without any european interference (mainly because other yuros were too busy fearing Prussia/Germany and Russia at their doorstep to care about the outside world)

I'm not even in the mood to show you how wrong you are

ROMA INVICTA

>Who is Robert Clive
>What is the Battle of Plassey
>Who is George Brydges Rodney
>What is the Invasion of Dominica (1761)

We bullied the french out of the Indian subcontinent, and took over one of the richest and resource-abundant places in the world. As you said, we bullied the French out of Canada, but we also bullied them largely out of the Caribbean as well. All before the 19th century I might add.

Don't reply unless you learn your history you cretin

Because you can't

>French replaced Latin as the most important language of diplomacy and international relations (lingua franca) in the 17th century. It retained this role until approximately the middle of the 20th century, when it was replaced by English as the United States became the dominant global power following the Second World War.[43][44]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language#History

There are plenty of exemples of it

Like the fact German diplomats in 1914 adressed British ones in French ("chiffon de papier")

Or the fact US soldiers used French to discuss with civils in Italy, Netherlands and Germany during WW2
>One of the officers (Major or Captain Muddy) was a guest in the villa of a family whose two daughters were my schoolmates. I met him in their garden where some ladies, surrounding Captain Muddy, talked in tentative French. Captain Muddy knew some French, too.

>My first image of American liberators was thus – after so many palefaces in black shirts – that of a cultivated black man in a yellow-green uniform saying: "Oui,merci beaucoup, Madame, moi aussi j'aime le champagne"
pegc.us/archive/Articles/eco_ur-fascism.pdf

French was the language two foreigners who don't master the other's tongue would use upon meeting each others (like English nowdays)
No one spoke English outside of the British Empire and the US

>What is the Battle of Plassey

Are you trolling?
There were 50 French dudes who took part in that battle, a battle that opposed thousands of Brits to thousands of Indians
If you have to go as far as emphasizing the importance of 50 artillerymen lended by some yuro country to the savages your conquered to feel better about your empire building, it proves you realize how inglorious conquering these savages really was

I won't even talk about the fact you mentioned a battle for Dominica, a small ass island that accounted for 0,01% of your empire.
The truth is that only Canada and a bunch of small caribbean islands were taken from other yuros, while 90% of your empire was built by fighting savages

Pic related is how big your empire was in 1815 (the last time you fought other Yuros for colonies)
Try and tell me the bulk of your empire wasnt built by conquering spearchucking savages

/thread

See
The British Empire was one of the least glorious empires that ever existed

The bulk of our empire was spearchucking savages yes

But you see, we didn't take over by fighting spear-chucking savages. We took over by beating the French and stopping them from taking over the spear-chucking savages first. The whole point of the seven years war in India was that the French had their settlements in India, as did the British, and that the war was fought over who would control the whole of India. The fact that the French would have taken over all of India if the British didn't beat the French in the Seven Years War is proof that the British aquired parts of its empire by beating off other European powers who would otherwise have tried to take over.

Even New York was originally settled by the dutch. But we British took it over and made sure the Dutch would never hold territory in the Eastern Coast of North America ever again.

"This is judged to be one of the pivotal battles in the control of Indian subcontinent by the colonial powers. The British now wielded enormous influence over the Nawab and consequently acquired large amounts of concession for previous losses and revenue from trade. The British further used this revenue to increase their military might and push the other European colonial powers such as the Dutch and the French out of South Asia, thus expanding the British Empire in Asia."

The Battle of Plassey is important because, if the British lost, then India would have fallen into the hands of the French

American isn't a language

If I was forced to speak French whenever I went online, I'd be angry too. I feel sorry for you.

>If I was forced to speak French whenever I went online, I'd be angry too. I feel sorry for you.

You're forced to speak French everytime you make a sentence in your own language as half of English vocabulary is French
You can thank William le Conqueror for that

>American isn't a language

But it is you dumb tea nigger. We made your language relevant Nigel, don't ever forget it.

Britain was only ever relevant because it was lucky to have a fortunate geographic position and to have given its language to a much more influential country

Sure. Because the English where a minor player I. World affairs before Yankee doodle came to fucking town.

Being born British isn't all that swell if you're born as one of the proles...

>tfw not being born so royally inbred you're the XIIth Earl of Sandwich

Other way around
The UK turned to the world because it failed each time it tried doing shit in Europe

Giving up Dacia and not re-ok invading Germany after Augustus was a mistake. Buffer zones could have taken the brunt of the barbarian invasions.

Wouldn't have made a difference. The inability to fight off the mass migration of the tribes wasn't in itself the core problem. It was a symptom of greater problems.

Rome didn't fall because barbarians come knocking. It fell because when they did, nobody in Rome was in a position to do anything about it because of political fuckery.

If conquering all those "spearchucking savages" in America, Africa, Asia, and Australia was so easy, why didn't anyone else do it as well as Britain did? After all, the empire brought immense wealth to Britain and made it the greatest power in the world for nearly a century. Surely other nations wanted the same thing?

It's almost as if conquering and holding such vast territories against your covetous rivals is actually a difficult task, and other governments just weren't up to snuff.

>tragic fall in 1453 AD
>implying

You mean, like Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and Belgium did?

Go home anglo and complain about your immigrants some more

Woops

>If conquering all those "spearchucking savages" in America, Africa, Asia, and Australia was so easy, why didn't anyone else do it as well as Britain did?

Because at the time Britain conquered its empire (mostly between 1860 and 1890), the rest of powerful European nations (Germany, France and Russia) were busy struggling against each others for their borders in Europe.

France and Germany still conquered a few 3rd world shitholes there and there, but they were nowhere near as focused on it as Brits

But none of those countries were as successful at it as Britain.
Sounds like excuses to me.
