It should be France or Britian who have a much longer and much more glorious past than a bunch of barbarians who speak a language that sounds horrible.

Germany is a fusion of several countries. It was especially created to enable the Prussians to fight the French.

Are you seriously arguing that the 1st German Reich was a nation state?
Angel Diaz
As much of a nation state as you can get in the middle ages, yes.
See this inscription on Otto the Great, it says King of the Germans, and he was in fact the ruler of all German peoples.
Only after the reformation the HRE became a shadow of its former self.

Correct.
g*Rman propaganda.
They were a bunch of countries with different cultures and dialects lumped into one.

In other words, not a nation state in the slightest.

The German Empire contained chunks of Poland. I guess that wasn't German either (considering the autismal anti-German maymay, I wouldn't be shocked if you unironically agreed)
Nolan Howard
Most of it wasn't majority ethnic German, no. That's kind of how aristocratic states worked

>the German language was created by Luther and Prussia
you shouldn't post on this board
can you not see the red border and the fat text that says HRE?

ah, ok
Asher Powell
German nationalism and strandarilization of common dialect was made by Luther and Prussians.
There, better? You baiting obnoxious fuck?
Austin Roberts
>Constituent states
>Vassals
Ah, I see you are retarded
Christopher Morris
no it wasn't, plenty of southern Germans were nationalist as well
Prussia was simply the most powerful state so it became the one to actually fulfill the inevitable
>strandarilization of common dialect
only the spelling, for which they were no rules before Luther's bible translation
yeah, fine, that was wrong. Still this empire was clearly German as all German peoples (and some others) were united in it
>After the Imperial Reform and Reformation settlement, the German part of the Holy Roman Empire was divided into Reichskreise (imperial circles), which effectively defined Germany against imperial Italy and the Bohemian Kingdom.[4]
