Has your country ever been an empire, Veeky Forums?

weirdest kingdom ever?

>country

Nope, but we taught the people of the Congo to behave at the time.

Wasn't Serbia technically an empire in the middle ages for a really short time before Turks steamrolled through the Balkans? Or was that another nation?

2nd Reich had also colonial holdings

Nahh, that was just Leopold's playground. WE WUZ NEVA EMPRAS.

don't remind me

We were so close.

that was only until 1908

meme empire only in name
just like bulgaria and for example trebizond

you had a nice chunk of africa though so respect

I figured that was a given.

>all these shitholes with exception of maybe hungary
>""empire"""
only russia was relevant among slavs others dont come even close

Russia? You mean pseudo-Europe?

i dont think that they want to be part of continent that tries to commit suicide by importing muslims anyways

You're trying way too hard, frenchie.

I'm not talking about nowadays. I'm talking about the reason why their maritime vocabulary consists of mostly Dutch words.

Not necessary since they already have millions of muslims

yes

and they still have less terrorist attacks than western european countries like uk
really makes you think
you will be borrowing words from quran soon enough

my country was the only one that became an empire after its indepedence in the Americas

What about Mexico?

>HOLY

How exactly wasn't HRE an Empire?

Well, while definetely irrelevant, technically all of those were successors of the byzantine empire, and therefore empires.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Mexico.
Although I think it lasted too little to really be an proper empire (8 months the first one and more and less 3 yeas the second one), while the Brazilian empire lasted for 67 years.

we wuz on 3 seas n shiet

>Mayan Empire,
>HISPANIA GLORIOSA

I mean, people call America an empire these days, but does it actually fit the definition of what makes an empire?

>emperor
>controled by landlords

Pretty feudal desu.

the Maya didn't have an Empire, just a bunch of city-Estates
Maybe you were referring about the Aztec Empire

Can an anarcho-capitalist colonial power be an empire?

What's with all these Belgians on Veeky Forums?

Is Japan the only actual empire left?

Yes, the Japanese Emperor is the only monarch on the planet whose title is translated as Emperor.

My bad that's some solid wiki bantz, I saw the same image on the Greece-Serbia relations with a different caption so I thought it was an edit

UMA

Not even aztec, just putting the maya savages on a pedestal - just let a man dream

Leaf history goes to shit once DUDE WEED's father becomes the Prime Minister.

Hungarian here, I don't assume the Dual-Monarchy counts for us, does it?

Italy is a country, Rome is the capital city of that country

Quebec and Ontario like to fuck everything up. Those provinces deserve nukes.

*Afgandu detected*

Are you mad because you live in some irrelevant shithole or because pre 18th Century Russia was less relevant than for example Poland? Maybe both?

Probably not but your earlier history over ruling over Slavs probably does.

We'll became the world muslim empire again.

Tbh while I prefer us to be in charge you're definitely first place in regards to Turks. Turks are, were and always will be shit. They're also one of the main reasons why the Islamic world has been garbage for centuries.

My country existed for 73 years if you count the socialist republic, gaining independence 26 years ago.

No, and we are very proud of that fact.

Belarus?

because it was a civilization from 2000 years ago
there are no true romans living in italy today
im not gonna say my country was once the frankish empire because the geographical location is the same.
have you heard of the roman empire?

Slovenia.

what the fuck is a true roman?

No, but I think we did okay for a country constantly under threat from larger kingdoms (Austria, Hungary, Byzantium, The Ottomans)

Latin people with no germanic blood in it

what the fuck is a true anything?
true romans are the people who were living in the kingdom of rome, the descendants of them and the people in their vicinity.
of course they're just a jumbled mess of other ethnicities as well, but you gotta draw the line somewhere
no way in hell that most italians are related to romans. Simply impossible after all the shit the place we know as italy today has been through

Da

Yes.

Why is everything between the Tisza and Prut rivers north of the Danube so empty?

Do you have qt sister? I want dark Indian gf.

We have never invaded anyone so no.

Really? nobody posted it yet?

yep
