Who had a more tragic ending

Rome is the only one of those 3 that even comes close to the british

No one has ever ruled as much land, people and wealth as the british

>No one has ever ruled as much land, people and wealth as the british

Quality > quantity
Ruling over Europe > ruling over third world shitholes

> Nazi Germany
If they are so great, why they lost to Britannia?

India alone worth more than entire Europe.

They lost to the USSR and the USA, two superpowers
Britain barely contributed at all

This lmao

Hannibal

I mean France is still here, particularly because Napoleon happened

Carthage got the salt, particularly because Hannibal happened

Pretty much. Napoleon’s entire life is the stuff of legend, that even his enemies are obsessed with him and admire him. His exile to St. Helena not enhanced his near-mythical reputation, whereas when Hannibal lost he almost disappeared off the pages of history and becomes a literal who.

>tfw you realize that him being exiled to an island is the same ending of most mythical heroes

I wonder if he'll return in times of crisis

>conquering desserts
Of course they would, their own food taste like shit

The Welsh have King Arthur, and the French have Emperor Napoleon, right? I suppose the English have King Alfred the Great, and the Scottish have Sir William Wallace, as well.

>whereas when Hannibal lost he almost disappeared off the pages of history

That's not true

Rome is obviously greater than Britain (or anything in Europe) by a mile. But think Nazi Germany or Napoleon’s empire, both of which barely lasted longer than a decade, are comparable to the British Empire is laughable. You’re being blinded by your dislike of anglos and focusing too narrowly on continental military power.

>Nazi Germany greater than British Empire
a socialist dictatorship which lasted less than a decade and defeated only the weakest states in Europe is greater than the Centuries-lasting empire larger than any other nation to ever exist.

>Rome is obviously greater than Britain

arguably*

>But think Nazi Germany or Napoleon’s empire, both of which barely lasted longer than a decade, are comparable to the British Empire is laughable

Quality > quantity or duration
Conquering Europe is more glorious than conquering shitholes that can't fight back

And the British Empire barely lasted a century (pic related, it hadn't even begun for real until the 19th century)
Better live one day as a lion than 100 years as a rat

fuckin red haired saxon cunt

Nappy's end was pathetic but that's better than he deserved. Hannibal is the only tragic figure in your pic.

Is this true?

This.

Hannibal, of course. He never lost the war. The stupid Carthaginian senate lost the war. He had to flee his homeland, after doing everything to save it, so that he could serve a new lord in the Seleucid Empire. He was probably the greatest general of all time, and to die by some bullshit assassination is beyond tragic.

Fuck Napoleon. He was just a douche. He attacked simply for the sake of expansion and "weeee look at me! Go France!". Hannibal was serving his country.

>Fuck Napoleon. He was just a douche. He attacked simply for the sake of expansion

He didn't attack tho
He was attacked and conquered Europe in self-defense

No, Napoleon was the one getting fucked by the English

There was nothing nice about Napoleon's lodgings.
It so humid, condensation was on the walls constantly. A deliberate attempt to damage his health on an island that otherwise had a beautiful climate. Combine that with gradual arsenic poisoning that exacorbated his predisposition to stomach cancer. Face it, Napoleon was murdered.

>It so humid

Just like the pussy of his British nymphette

This, Napoleon's territorial expansions were mostly aimed at protecting France and her strategic interests and weaking constant bad actors, aka Britain by annexing smuggling havens like the Hanseatic cities and illyria ro enforce the continental system. Not to mention that he only ever was the aggressor in one war, the Russian invasion of 1812 to again, enforce the continental system.

There is no evidence of anything inappropriate going on between the Emperor and Betsy Balcombe. She just kept him company in his waning years.

>French Empire
>446 Years
uh...

shiggydiggy

That's what the frogs believe right?

Napoleons end is more tragic, had the Prussians not arrived when they did its possible that he would regain what he lost. Imagine living with that knowledge on a shitty island until you die of cancer.

It's a retarded pic that counts the duration of the "empires" from the earliest colony to the latest one

That's why Britain reaches almost 400 years despite the fact their real empire barely lasted a century

War doesn't determine who is right, only who is left.

Except during the time of Rome Europe WAS a third world shit hole.

>The British at the top
>The Roman Fucking Empire being third place

>all these cuntinentals jealous of the largest empire in the history of the world
Sad!

That's what history say, user.
