Was Charles V literally hitler?

What about Trajan. I'm pretty sure he was born in Spain and he did technically rule over Spain.

Yes but it was more about keeping control over his gigantic empire, which was already hard. He caved in because there was fuck all he could do about it.

When Cortes saw the natives with gold he burned his ships and told his men they would never return home. Then he killed all the natives and took their gold and Spain flourished because of their gold and silver until it eventually fucked them over by the 17th century. I'd imagine it would be interesing watching Cortes saying "jajaja Senor King, I was just kidding about betraying you and trying to start my own colony here" but I'd imagine with a fucking mountain of gold he probably didn't care too much.

Trajan was god tier

Yes, literally. He was an ageless immortal who later tried to go to art school and ended up leader of Germany

Technically, no.
However, you can figuratively compare him to Hitler.

Source?
Wasn't it Phillip the second? And those death sentences were only for the heretic dutchmen.

Are you autistic? Castille was literally the most advanced kingdom in western Europe and Charles the autist managed to ruin in one go.

>Bankrupt the country
To defeat french and turkish agression and try to destroy the heretics in Germany.
>Autistic successions
His son followed after him, where is the problem?
>wanted to sabotage Cortés
To prevent him from going independent, as has been pointed out as well
>Destroy the manufacturing sector in Spain as there were alredy factories in Flandes
Happened later.
>Captured the king of France
Wut? How is it his fault, that Francis I get raped hard in a battle and war that was started by France
>Managed to get an unfavourable peace
Dont know what you mean. Most of his wars were fought as the one being attacked, so he never planned to conquer anything.
>Couldn't stop protestantism
Not his fault. He defeated the protestant leagues in germany to cement the status of the Emperor and then granted religious tolerance, to avoid the shitshows that later started in the FWR or the 30YW

>To defeat french and turkish agression and try to destroy the heretics in Germany.
And putting all the debt in only one of his multiple possesions
>>Autistic successions
>His son followed after him, where is the problem?
He left Burgandy and Flandes to Phillip. Which is fucking autistic considering that his brother was Holy Roman emperor and had a direct border with those lands
>>wanted to sabotage Cortés
>To prevent him from going independent, as has been pointed out as well
It was never his intection
>>Destroy the manufacturing sector in Spain as there were alredy factories in Flandes
>Happened later.
Nope. As the comuneros were mostly people that worked in that sector he just chose to go full balistic on Spanish production and only left metalurgy alive
>>Captured the king of France
>Wut? How is it his fault, that Francis I get raped hard in a battle and war that was started by France
Read later
>>Managed to get an unfavourable peace
>Dont know what you mean. Most of his wars were fought as the one being attacked, so he never planned to conquer anything.
He captured France and managed to get the most useless peace treaty ever created. He was extremelly incompetent
>>Couldn't stop protestantism
>Not his fault. He defeated the protestant leagues in germany to cement the status of the Emperor and then granted religious tolerance, to avoid the shitshows that later started in the FWR or the 30YW
>Not his fault he just wasted any chance of supressing the revolt after Mühlberg.
Compring Charles the aspie with Isabel or Fernando is just an insult. The comuneros did nothing wrong and were right about everything

>And putting all the debt in only one of his multiple possesions
The Spanish Empire went bankrupt, not just Spain, you do realize that, right?
Fuck, there wasnt even a real "Spain", as Castille and Aragon (and Navarre) were just seperate kingdoms

>He left Burgandy and Flandes to Phillip.
Thats how Salic Law (or whatever law they used) works. Charles V was Lord of the Neitherlands, so his oldest son inherits it. Besides, it was the richest region of europe, of course you dont want to give it away, and certainly not to the >>>

>He captured France and managed to get the most useless peace treaty ever created. He was extremelly incompetent
Maybe you should read a bit about the whole Habsburg-Valois War. Francis couldnt accept that Charles V was elected as Emperor, besides already having the Low Countries, Austria, Spain, an expanding colonial empire and a very strong position in Italy. So he attacked him on the (disputed) franco-dutch border, in the Pyrenaen and in Italy.
During the course of the war, the French were completely defeated in all three theatres, and their combined main army destroyed at Pavia and Francis I captured.
Charles V did only let him free, when he accepted the current border and accept the loss of all french realms in italy,
So yes, it was an extremely good peace for Spain, because it got all its possessions confirmed and got further clay in Italy.

>Not his fault he just wasted any chance of supressing the revolt after Mühlberg.
That was in the Schmalkaldic War, where his enemy, the Schmalkaldic League was defeated and forced to disband. He did not just supress the revolt, he actually crushed it for good. There wouldnt be another protestant league for the next five decades.
Of course he cant just wish Protestantism away and it was already 60-70% of the german population, so outlawing it just does not work.

>The Spanish Empire went bankrupt, not just Spain, you do realize that, right?
I meaqnt Castille.Aragon and NAvarra didn't have any fiscal responsability

Given Austria to his brother doesn't fall under the salic law either.Charles was just an autist
>Charles V did only let him free, when he accepted the current border and accept the loss of all french realms in italy,
Until the peace of Chateau-Cambresi France doesn't resign its claims to Milan and Naples.Charles accomplished jack shit
>That was in the Schmalkaldic War, where his enemy, the Schmalkaldic League was defeated and forced to disband. He did not just supress the revolt, he actually crushed it for good. There wouldnt be another protestant league for the next five decades.

>Allows Luther to operate
>Get surprised when half of thier subjects are protestant
Charles was an imbecile

>Until the peace of Chateau-Cambresi France doesn't resign its claims to Milan and Naples
Because he broke the fucking peace treaty every time. After Pavia, the Treaty of Madrid was supposed to end the war:
>On 14 January 1526,Charles and Francis agreed to the Treaty of Madrid, by which the French king renounced all his claims in Italy, Flanders, and Artois, surrendered Burgundy to Charles, agreed to send two of his sons to be hostages at the Spanish court, and promised to marry Charles' sister Eleanor
>Francis was released on 6 March and, on 18 March, he crossed the Bidasoa north into France
>On 22 March, with the Pope's blessing, he proclaimed that he would not be bound by the Treaty of Madrid because it had been signed under duress

During all the next wars and all the next defeats, France renounced their claims every time at the end and then just went "LOL just kidding" afterwards.
Chateau-Cambresis would have been the same, if France wouldnt have slipped into the French Wars of Religion thereafter

>During all the next wars and all the next defeats, France renounced their claims every time at the end and then just went "LOL just kidding" afterwards.
>Chateau-Cambresis would have been the same, if France wouldnt have slipped into the French Wars of Religion thereafter
So Charles felt for the same meme multiple times? Wow this sure proves that he wasn't an imbecile.
