>>21823030>Last time I checked France/Britain are in Europe for WW1 and Russia is in Europe for WW2Indeed, but he was specifically making the argument that Germany managed to dominate Europe. While not exactly true in World War 1, they did certainly occupy a domineering position in WW2. Either way, I was attacking his ridiculous logic as to how Germany lost without losing, rather than making a substantive argument.
>As a nationstate, yes, but if you honestly make that argument you're retarded.Okay, so we're going to complete disregard all of the tension and different cultural histories of the precursor states to Germany such as Prussia and Bavaria, and simply pretend that we went straight from the Holy Roman Empire (which was weakened a long time before it eventually dissolved during the Napoleonic wars) to modern Germany? Right.
