    Haha well... I wouldn’t say the objective was to exactly unite the Holy Roman Empire lol... both times... and you could argue more than two because you fought Austria, Denmark, and France in the 19th century, but again... very different reasons. Don’t worry, I got the joke anyway. Entschuldigung bitte, ich bin Amerikaner (i bet I conjugated that wrong, too many Spanish classes)

It buffles me how few people realize that germany isnt germany its the german federal republic a countrie Made up by german States. Austria is German, they just arent Part of the countrie formed by the prussians and its later succesor countries. But Austria is a German state the same way bavaria brandenburg Sachsen etc thats just a fact

  • @00Trademark00

    5 жыл бұрын

    @ TheCerbari: That's like saying that Belgians (Wallonians) are French. Austrians are (mostly) Germanic but they are not Germans just as Wallonians are not French. In a sense Germany is a federation of different Germanic nations, which does not include all of them. If understood in that way then Austrians are "Germans", where "German" becomes synonymous to "Germanic" in the same sense that "Slavic" or "Baltic" are used. Incidentally, these terms are not binary either. Russia is in many ways a lot more Slavic than the Czech republic and Austria is less German than Germany as both Austrians and Czechs mixed with the other peoples the way that Russians or Germans didn't - at least not to the same extent. As for "German Germans" (citizens of Germany), many of them feel like Germans first and then [name of the state]-ians second nowadays, but Bavarians are a notable exception and there are a few more. Similarly, in the early days after the American independence, the people in the US identified with their states rather than with the federation. They'd be (e.g.) Pennsylvanians first and Americans second. In Germany this sentiment lives on, since the history and identity of many German federal states is much older than the first British colonies in the New world and the unification wasn't exactly voluntary in some cases (conversely, unified Germany is about 100 years younger than the US and changed borders, regimes and even split into two and reunified again since then). For example Bavaria joined more or less only because they had an incompetent king who managed to ruin Bavaria financially (by building things like Neuschwanstein and spending lavish sums on arts) and because Austria was too weak by that point to protect Bavaria against Prussia.

    +Trademark okay nice Text and you are pretty much right with Everything you say, yet germany is much older than the german Countrie formed by the prussians. People identified as germans In the holy Roman empire even if they were from bavaria for example. it was the Language that defined a German. And Austria is a German state thats Simply a fact and until the nazis most Austrians also identified as Germans even After the unification of the german Empire. (Eventhough i admit that there were nationalistic movements like Adolf hitlers Father was part of one who was against the Great German Solution and wanted Austria as a seperate countrie.) But people have different opinions and since the Fall of the nazis Austrians dont See themselves as germans anymore. But historically they are a German state. I mean guess Why the brothers war is called brothers war.

    The GDP of Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, and the Czech Republic combined are already $7.2T (2018 IMF estimates for nominal GDP). Add to this the majority of Italy's $2.2T GDP (the South is really poor and unproductive compared to the north), portions of France's $2.9T and Poland's $0.6T, and all of Luxembourg and Slovenia and you will get to RLL's $9.2T. For a reference, the combined GDP of Germany, France, and Italy alone is $9.3T, so he certainly didn't add them in. As has been pointed out before, Eurostat collects and provides all sorts of data by statistical regions (NUTS1/2/3, with NUTS3 being the smallest subdivisions). This makes such estimates easy and reasonably precise.

The HRE was a power to rival the French, Spanish, British and the Commonwealth but it was very rarely a dominant power. A unified HRE would be a global power totally unrivaled in European affairs.

The HRE didn’t have a shared economy, each of the hundreds of states had its own military and it wasn’t even a military pact, so even if one of the states would be attacked, the others wouldn’t give a shit, so how can he still go on with describing it as if it was one singular power. Because the EU today is closer to each other than the HRE was when it existed

    It was holy, it was kind of roman and it was an empire. At least in medival times Holy because the kings got their titel of emperor from the pope, large portions of land were ruled by bishops and the church in general was very powerfull. This changed with the reformation and from that time on the kings just called them self emperor and did not care if the pope is actually cool with this. You could say it was roman because the emperors saw themself in the tradition of the roman ones and the papel state including rome was kind of dependent on the empire, but yeah to call it roman is a bit of a stretch and idealistic. And it was an empire because it ruled over three different parts (Italy, Burgundy and the german realms), so it was more an empire then an early form of a nation state. Until the end of the Staufer dynastie the emperors were also powerfull, this changed after the medival times when the state building was succeded on the lower levels and not on the level of the whole state. When Italy was finally lost at the end of the 30 years war it was defenetly not an empire anymore but to say it was never one is false in my mind

    Actually, it was Holy, Roman and an Empire - at least at its beginning. The Empire was Holy due to the majority of Emperors being crowned by the Pope, allowing the authority of the Papacy to reign supreme. It was Holy due to its majority Catholic Christian population. The Empire was Roman due to the fact that before the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, the realm was simply referred to as the Roman Empire, the Emperor was known as an Imperator (eg: IMP CARLOS MAGNUS). It was Roman in nature and its polity saw it as such. The Multinational entity was an Empire due to the fact that it was Imperial in nature, and that there was an Emperor in charge. It was indeed a Holy, Imperial and Roman institution.

Is the modern equivalent of the HRE the United States + The European Union + NATO or would it be structured much differently? Would it be more centralized than these institutions or less? Would it be intervening in Ukraine or just ignoring it as a problem that isn't of its concern, etc.?
