Is there any other point in history with as many great, famous and influential monarchs as the 1540s?
>King Henry VIII of England
>King Francis I of France
>Emperor Charles V of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire
>Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire
Imagine how amazing a meeting between them would have been.
dude do white people rule the world?
The decases before the fall of the roman republic was also filled with great personalities and, of course, not so great ones
*decades
>tfw Charles never asked Henry VIII to marry another hapsburg daughter
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
>Sulla
>Marius
>Pompey
>Crassus
>Spartacus
>Julius Caesar
>Cicero
>Cato the Younger
>Brutus
>Mark Antony
>Octavian
>Agrippa
>Cleopatra
Goddamn it's like some series of epic fantasy novels, but it's all real.
Henry VIII was not that great.
For a time:
Henry II was King of England
Philip Augustus was King of France
Frederick I was Holy Roman Emperor
Didn't Nobunaga exist around this time as well?
His reign was a bit later, in the 1580's and 1590's.
>Forgetting about Ivan IV
Thread is about men, not animals.
This is Europe(a white continent) before the jews had too much control
Well, Charles V had Francis I in a spanish prison several weeks after Battle of Pavia.
>A protestant, a jew and a turk
>compared to his most catholic king Charles I of Spain and V of the Holy Roman empire
To be fair almost everyone looks like a bitch compared to the Emperor Charles 'His Most Cathokic Chad' V.
Catholic**
Fuck
source for who's the jew?
Give thanks to Tiziano, his oficial painter
probably francis?
yeah is there a source to show he was a jew
>The Chadsburg catholic majesties
>The virgin Valois,Tudor and goatfucker bureocrats
Charles looks stoned off his face and Felipe looks like he's about to fuck your girl.
Based Spaniards. Would have loved to have a drink with them.
>The manlet Charles.
>Henry VIII was not that great
Don't chat shit about the biggest (literally) Chad in history
I luv him more now
the fat pig who sold england's soul to the devil(prodescuck)
...
Left:
>"Your party fucking sucks."
Protestant > Catholic
Stop worshipping the (((pope))) and go back to worshipping God.
Protestant monarchs rule the world whereas Catholic monarchs have fucking jaw deformities
Francis is a Henry wannabe
His nose is the source
Holy shit. Why are continental monarchs so fucked?
how's your pope? or yeah that's right you don't even have one. prods don't even practice their religion they just took all the best stuff of Catholicism(amazing architecture, Latin, ancient European customs) and left it as the most unappetizing religion ever which is why all countries that went protestant quickly gave up their faith entirely and became atheists
>Protestant > Catholic
Say it before him
*took out
Some French peasant bitches about to get the seed of the mighty Charles alright.
Catholics literally worship their pope and their buildings, they literally oractice idolatry. Imagine all of europe being controlled by (((one goy))) who promises them he has the keys to heaven
'Okay'
Also good job bankrupting spain
Pope Francis is a fucking heathen. We need to install an anti-pope.
Practice*
>unappetizing
Christianity is not something you should simply cherry-pick to your desires. Protestants follow the bible whereas Catholics live extravagantly and turn their back on the gospels.
*disdain for the manlet*
yes I agree we need to install a new pope, however proedescuck literally doesn't even exist anymore, it took all the best and European stuff from Catholicism and left it as the most boring religion ever, pretty much no one practices it instead just become atheists
...
Only a virgin protestant would care about the economy
Which makes perfect sense
Why did Protestant countries prosper so much more? UK, USA, Netherlands, etc.
Cause they are shitholes.
>shitholes prosper
...
If only there were some book that discusses this period, these four men and OP's idea in great detail...
Lutheran here, but this protestant = wealth meme needs to stop. Some of the richest regions in Europe are Bavaria, Switzerland and North Italy and they're majority Catholic. Netherlands is also mostly Catholic these days, UK isn't even rich by Western European standards, and USA is a rundown shithole full of crime and retards.
its because they gave up their souls and faith and instead only cared about materialistic needs(this is also why the jews always went to prodestant countries, because they shared their views), if you wan't to see beautiful catherals, visit countries with morals and ancient traditions you'll visit Catholic countries not new york, detroit and london
where is this meme coming from? prodestant countries really don't outperform Catholic in terms of economics and certainly not in standard of living
For the past 200 years the UK has been the richest country in Europe, only recently overtaken by Germany.
>Materialism
>oppulent cathedrals
Can you stop being an autist and realise the Lord hath blessed Protestants with great prosperity.
>Catholic countries
>morals
Latin America exists.
>Some of the richest regions in Europe are
Well historically speaking, the countries that became the most prosperous in the 16th and 17th centuries were protestant
>For the past 200 years the UK has been the richest country in Europe
Because they exploited resources from India and Niggeria, when they actually have to survive on their own they end up being poor as fuck. UK is poorer than most of Western Europe.
>jews always went to prodestant countries
The countries that became prosperous at that time were all countries with an Atlantic coastline. Britain, Netherlands, Spain, France. Nothing to do with religion.
>UK is poorer than most of western Europe
Can you stop being a retard and actually prove this?
The UK has the second highest GDP in Europe
>GDP instead of GDP per capita
Ameribrainlet detected
en.wikipedia.org
Lower than Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Germany, Iceland, Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland, Norway and Luxembourg.
UK has higher GDP per capita than France, Spain and Italy. The only actual 'country' that has a higher GDP per capita is Germany. Sorry swiss and vikangz you're not real
>Britain, Netherlands, Spain, France
Have you really written Spain?
Are you implying Spain wasn't rich in the 16th century?
>if a country doesn't import 10 million Pakis and Poles it's not a real country
Spain was literally the richest country on Earth in 16th century thanks to all that sweet American gold.
wow you're an idiot, in gdp per captia Ireland, France, Italy, Spain and loads of other Catholic countries beat the Uk
Yes, and then it collapsed and protestant countries superseded it-reason?
lmao. Please continue being an idoliter while we actually follow the word of god.
>Yes
Case closed faggot, you were wrong.
>reason?
Inflation.
I didn´t read XVI century!!!
Spain was so rich that inflation (provoked by massive gold and plate from America) destroyed their economy
Only Ireland does retard and that's thanks to American companies. Literally prove it and stop being a brainlet
statisticstimes.com
So protestant work ethic beats free gold
France also beats the uk
UK is literally right above France
There is no such thing as protestant work ethic really. It's a meme invented by Max Weber, and even then applicable only to Calvinist work ethic, not Protestant generally.
Nope.
Purple is protestant. Most developed countries in the world.
And even nowadays Spain is still a rich country. A tier below UK or Germany but still top 30 riches countries on earth.
>Lithuania
>Switzerland
>Netherlands
All of these are majority Catholic.
So Spain, the most powerful and wealthiest nation in europr in the 16th century is the poorest and most feudal in the 20th century, surpassed by all the protestant nations which had been weak feudal states in the 15th century.
Why?
lol how devolved countries has nothing to do with protestant or Catholicism but whether they're white or not
*developed
Corelation =/= causation. Bavaria and Austria are both Catholic and extremely wealthy.
Germany too.
Yes the developed nations of Kenya, Zimbabwe, Papua New Guinea and Estonia.
Anglicans aren't Protestants.
I will tell you the reason then
Catholics locked up Galileo
Protestants publish Newton
>Germany.
>Protestant.
Religion in Germany was highly dependent on which state you were in.
Bavarian Protestants are a laughable notion, for example.
Also
>That Asian map.
I fucking hate "religion maps" whenever it goes to Asia.
Protestants burned witches as late as 18th century. Do you have an explanation for why Austria is wealthier than most protestant nations or are you just going to skirt around that forever?
The point is catholic kingdoms declined from the 16th century and Austria is but a rump of a once great empire
>rump of a once great empire
And still wealthier than England.
Well england did start the industrial revolution, and has had many great scientists and thinkers, unlike austria
Cool, but we're not talking about size of the empire, or the number of scientists. We're talking wealth, and Austria is richer than England. Stop straying away from the subject.
>Stop straying away from the subject.
?
Im just talking about the influences of the 16th century,not modern accounting practices
It's just Carlos and Suleyman Pasha.
Henry was famous in the same way that Abu Bakr Al Bagdadi is famous nowadays, plus England was nothing but an irrelevant backwater.
Francis was cucked too many times by Carlos.
>cut tax benefits for english Moskowian trade company
>become super-evil foreign monarch in british history
Hmm..
