>You realize that the duchies/regions of Alsace/Elsass and Lorraine/Lothringen predate any sort of French ownership of the territory correct? France didn't own Lothringen/Lorraine until 1766 or all of Elsass until 1803. >France holding all of Elsass-Lothringen was pretty new when Germany (re)took them. We're talking less than a hundred years. Please don't post if you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
My post specifically stated the period limit - "ever since Germany existed to contest it". When was Germany created? When did the two duchies join France? For as long as there has been a "Germany", France has held that land, and Germany has tried to take it away.

Had to reply, since I get autistic about this. Also you can talk about German-French border disputes, Alsace-Lorraine and such in this thread.
Hey, the archive functionality exists, linking old posts exists, why not use it? The thread is more appropriate than half of the shit in the catalog, if nothing else it probably at least killed some neo-crusader pseud circlejerk.

Technically the French conquest of Alsace started in 1648 and ended in 1803. It wasn't one singular event. At first they seized the main cities but many patches of land remained German. Before the Revolution the French parts of Alsace were relatively autonomous while having independent enclaves within it that were legally HRE.
Hudson Turner
Yeah the catalog is cringeworthy, that post on BF1 is trash. The Alsace-Lorraine debate do not exist in my opinion, because the young Alsaciens who got incorporated in the waffen-SS said after the war that it was against their will. If they are right, they don't recognize the Reich as their fatherland, if they lied, they should be send back to Germany

You are aware that the french army has double everything over the german army, right? Germany is still to this day an occupied country. American, french and british soldiers have bases in it, and are in control of the badly organized and underfunded german army.

Lucas Williams
Not really, every time Germany has invaded the two armies were on par, at least, and by other estimates the German army was larger. Are you comparing the German army to the combined French and British armies?
Also, "that was the case last time" doesn't work when last time Germany lost the war.

If you are going to argue semantics and redefine Germany, I'll just go and call Regnum Francorum a prototype of France and we're done.
Samuel Clark
You already argued semantics through your mental gymnastics by trying to deflect from the reality that France took Elsass-Lothringen by conquest and that the conquest wasn't recent when Germany (re)took them during unification. That's literally all that you did in this thread and the last: attempt to demonize Germany for taking what was not French while justifying French conquest of the territory because you are French. Also as we both know regnum Francorum was the Kingdom of the Franks, who were decidedly not French. Now let your next round of mental gymnastics commence, but remember: the Russian judges don't abide fuckery.
Nathaniel Miller
Germany, as it is now, is Prussia and german states that betrayed the HRE (Austria today). France took Metz, Toul and Verdun, because the german princes gave it to France. France later took Alsace because they fought Austria in the 30 years war. Germans have no right to complain about that.

Correct, you had two languages (broadly speaking) as evidenced by Oaths of Strasbourg. West Francia, later France, was one of the successors of Francia, they're not identical.
Christopher Davis
>Things had changed when the treaty of Verdun took place Not really. It was less than 40 years after the death of Charlemagne who was from either modern Germany or close to it and all evidence is pointing to his primary language being Rhenish Franconian, a Germanic language, and not French. The language of the Franks HAD divided into various Germanic sub-dialects and a French precursor, but there's not a lot of evidence the Charlemagne or Louis the Pious spoke the French precursor but instead the Germanic dialects.
He was most likely born somewhere between Liege and Cologne so... probably.

The Alsatian humanists of the 15th and 16th century (Beatus Rhenanus, Sebastian Brant, Jakob Wimpfeling and others) were actually pretty convicted German patriots. Later when the area came to France, the elites were the most frenchified part of society, however.

A lot of things have changed since 1939, especially anthropologically. For starters, they don't think that you can tell if someone is German by measuring the width of someone's nose using fucking calipers.

Tell that to anthropologists circa 1939 because they didn't know that. The point here is that you're justifying your world views, which we know to be incorrect based on more recent research, on a very outdated book.

Franks were without a doubt germanic, culturally and linguistically speaking so i dont see how it matters that they were genetically celts unless youre a poltard

Nigger people in the early 20th century were high on eugenics, they had no idea of genetics, or deviation to the norm, or half of the scientific tools we now have.

They aren't genetically Celtic, they were a federation of Germanic tribes and unlike Celtic groups, a high number of individuals share the haplotype marker R1b-U106, just like other Ingvaeonic peoples (Frisians and Saxons).

Kevin Phillips

>I have utterly annihilated any claim that Franks were Germanic and it feels good
Deutsch (Teuto-) is a "celtic" word for "Germanic" peoples. Germania and Celt/Gallia are both latin distinctions for peoples who shared language, tech, and trade across large swaths of land involving many tribes.
The "Germanic/Celtic" distinction is not a useful one because your autistic categorizing of peoples rots after thousands of years of interbreeding. "Celtic" nationalism didn't arrive until Ireland and Scotland needed propaganda for independence.
HOLY SHIT NOT 1, NOT 2, BUT 3 WHOLE SAMPLES?!?!?!
Kayden Green
>HOLY SHIT NOT 1, NOT 2, BUT 3 WHOLE SAMPLES?!?!?!
French aren't U106 therefore Franks aren't
Jayden Gomez
Yes, the area were Frankish dialects are spoken today has high frequencies of that subclade, just like other Ingvaeonic areas and unlike Celtic areas. Of course, there are other haplotypes present (like J2) who may have come from elsewhere, but three individuals prove nothing.
Jayden Ward
>French aren't U106
even if you were capable of providing and explaining your samples correctly, they still don't hold when you consider Europe lost 25-60% of its population to the plague, then lost a comparable percentage of its genetic stasis from WWI to WWII, genealogy statistics associated with nations get scrambled when you consider catastrophes where large amounts of the populations you found genetic tracers for from centuries ago got obliterated before genetic testing was event invented.
Liam Fisher
You're in denial and have little of the Franks
Firstly, the Area where the "Frankish" language is spoken was settled by Ripuarian Franks so not the Franks aka Salians
Secondly, U106 is present in Pre-Germanic Britain so are the Britons Franks as well ?
Thirdly, Germanic are dolicocephal while the Franks/French are brachycephal and mesocephal like the other Indo-Europeans.

>Secondly, U106 is present in Pre-Germanic Britain so are the Britons Franks as well ?
In low quantities it was present in Britain (possibly descendants of migrants from the continent during the Roman Era), yes. But the U106 pattern in Britain (high frequency in England, low frequencies in Wales and the Highlands) shows that most of it was brought there by Anglo-Saxons. U 106 isn't exclusively Frankish, it is/was common in Ingvaeonic peoples (Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians), Franks and others.
Jack Walker
>Saxons and Franks are the same
Nope
Saxons are racially different from the Franks, Saxon skulls are dolicocephalic while Frankish skulls are borderline between brachycephalic/mesocephalic similar to Celts same goes for their height

All the places where the Salian Franks settled speak a French dialect(From the Loire to the Carbonarian Forest) while the places where Ripuarians settled(from the Carbonarian Forest to the Rhine + Franconia) speak a Franconian dialect

the overwhelming issues with historical genetics including sampling size and continuity, and more so your insistence that this flawed technique proves the existence of labels made up by Roman historians
Ethan James
The Franks were the descendants of the Trojans who founded Sicambria. At some point after this founding Pannonia was invaded by Celts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celticisation From Pannonia these Sicambrians migrated westward until they reached the eastern bank of the Rhine in an area where both Celtic and Germanic languages were spoken. These people later became known to us as Salian Franks.
>German
James Fisher
Afaik people theoricize that they spoke Old Frankish which is a made-up language deduced from French worlds and Latin words from the Salian Laws
My guess is that they originally spoke Continental Celtic but abandonned it when they reached Germany, then they abandonned Germanic when they reached Gaul.
>the overwhelming issues with historical genetics including sampling size and continuity, and more so your insistence that this flawed technique proves the existence of labels made up by Roman historians
Frankish samples are J2 :) and Anthpological dates show that they were Celts :) Historical datas also claim that they were Celts :)

Is J2 an indicator of Celtic heritage or not? Have the Galatians really spread this widely in the Near East?

I just think it's weird that those samples of Frankish genetics are shared most heavily with Anatolians, some Italians, and coastal Corsicans. It's actually evidence in favor of their mythological founding narrative.
Please note the location of the historical Troy on the map.
Justin Richardson

What makes the J2 haplogroup 'Frankish'?
Do you see the region of France that is a lighter green in the northeast? That, and the benelux region, was the heartland of the Frankish regime. The southwest(Aquitaine, not as far as gascony) was inhabited by a distinct people who were conquered later on.
Henry Rivera
>Have the Galatians really spread this widely in the Near East? seems extremely unlikely. >Is J2 an indicator of Celtic heritage or not?
not to my knowledge, it's more closely associated with Rome, Greeks, the Minoans, and for some reason the Indus Valley civilization. Here is sauce.

The paternal DNA of apparently Merovingian noblity is shared with Anatolians, and you cannot address this.
That Austrasia is "lighter green" doesn't matter given the timespan involved. You wouldn't expect a Bronze age population migrating northwest from Eastern Europe enduring Celtization in Pannonia and waves of Germanic tribes during the Migration Period to take over it's neighbors in numbers would you?
