>>14647908Germany also had a colonial empire, though a shortlived one. Germany has had tremendous impact on the world, whether it be in science, literature, music or war, as I already stated. Just because it didn't have a long lasting empire that ruled over niggers and poos à la Britain, doesn't make it less globally influential. If anything, one had better assess these countries based on their intellectual output, for the empires of old are long gone. If English weren't the lingua franca, Britain's impact would be arguably smaller.
