Okay, I don’t want to appear like a “gros suceur” as we say in french but,
Italy is and was the highest form of civilisation. Cultural victory through and through.
If only they could fight, they would be as cool as us.
Best food!
Carrying western civilisation for 2000 years and now you want us, Greekchads and ItAryans again to carry you all ? Hell nah, we taking a rightfully deserved siesta, its your time to do something cool and let me tell you, i still need to see it.
PEACE
753? Try 2500. Minoan/Mycenean supremacy
Most of the UK looks worse than middle east, it is bold from you to make this kind of meme lmao
Rome was not the peak of civilization before Augustus, and even then only because all other civilizations were conquered or ground to dust.
*Britain until Napoleon:* We’re the biggest empire on Earth! We’ll bankroll whoever goes to war against France
*Britain during the Crimean war:* What do you mean charging some no man’s land while surrounded by Russian cannons isn’t effective?!?
*Britain during WWII:* Please daddy America come save our posh arse
*Britain in the ‘80s:* Nooo giving milk to kids in school is too expensive
*Britain now:* Somebody trade with us pretty please
Even if you exclude anything before the 1500s we are still the main cultural hub of Europe
Basically all the great explorers (Vespucci, Colombo, Cabot), all the main artists (Da vinci, Michelangelo, Donatello, Giotto, Botticelli etc..), the main philosophers and great minds (macchiavelli, galileo galilei, torricelli)
The main trade republics were italian (venice, genoa, amalfi) and we invented all of modern economics and trade.
Modern Italy invented the phone, the radio, petrol engine, nitroglycerin, parachute, polipropilene, revolvers, torpedoes, barcodes, and the first nuclear rector are just some I can think of).
Politically we have always led the way with the rinascimento, humanism, fascism and futurism
Even today we have the second largest manufacturing base in Europe, are the 10th biggest economy world wide and the 8th most powerful army)
Meanwhile you lot still speak bastardized latin, venerate our god, use our calender and alphabet and badly copy our food.
Basically your only motive of pride is that you managed to occupy all the shitty bits of the planet no one wanted before getting curb stomped by your colony
If you do not have an empire you lost, are you even WE?
The downfall of the Roman Empire needs to be studied? Yeah someone should probably get on that…
God punished the romans for killing Jesus by turning them into Italians
Idk, they are a G7 industrial nation with e.g. a relatively developed aerospace sector and every medium-town cathedral is probably more sophisticated than whatever the romans built
Here to remind everyone that you copied the flag of Genoa just because you wanted Genoese protection in the Mediterranean (the strongest fleet during the middle age). Genoa even held Crimea for centuries, something that England couldn’t even dream of in its wildest dreams. “Sorry guys, all the land in Europe is occupied, let’s create an empire made of lands that no one wants inhabited by people still in the bronze age. Let’s call it the empire where the sun never rises🤣😂🤣😂”. Ah and also, Venice alone has actually more history than the whole of the UK 🤣
We just invented fascism 100 years ago. We are still on the forefront of modern societal innovation.
Your Empire went from 1/4 of the world’s surface to overseas territories only used for money laundering and tax avoidance.
Barry face the music, you’re with Luigi and Stavros (and the rest of us) in the list of fallen empires.
I want to petition the addition of the Norwegians to this list: from conquering France, England, Russia and even southern Italy, to inventing the cheese slicer.
