>what country has a comparable history?

Belgium, Finland, all the Latin American states
>instituted a form of democracy and capitalism that would be emulated worldwide
I'm pretty sure parliamentary democracy and mixed economies like that of Europe are vastly more popular
>ended the use of slaves
years after nations like Britain
>pioneered science, engineering, and mathematics
kinda like Europe
>kickstarted worldwide modernization due to two industrial revolutions
fair enough but I would give more credit to the Britbongs

Look at the eternal anglo trying to pretend he's someone else.
>guys we totally didn't commit more crimes against humanity than all the communist countries combined + the nazis
1789 was a scam, and the social progress france brags about is more than questionable (school system, etc), basically let WW2 happen, resistance is praiseworthy, eventhough a lot joined it right before the war ended or just did not commit at all
>>415954
They won the world, idiot
>>416002
>, resistance is praiseworthy
Top fucking kek. The french 'resistance' was a total meme
>>415979
Is this a pasta I don't know about?
>>416004
>The french 'resistance' was actually the SOE and 3 or 4 frenchmen
Ftfy
>>416004
pls explain, i know it's 100% overrated especially here in france, but i wouldn't say theres 0 credit to give
>>416024
>hon hon hon we gave the germans wrong to cafe directions we are super strong resistance
>>416012
I saw that exact post a day or two ago (it successfully derailed a thread via making everyone laugh at the "ending slavery" part), so yes, it's apparently a pasta.
Post-unification Germany. Like, half of pop-history is about fucking Nazis.
Anglo history is overrated as fuck, German history gets no love because Nazis. Frederick the Great was one of the most brilliant leaders in history, but only Prussiaboos remember him. It's a damn shame.
>>416053
> Frederick the Great was one of the most brilliant leaders in history
He's only remembered as such because some MILF in Russia died a year too early, he was just a lucky opportunist.

Preempire history of the British isles is mind numbingly boring
>>415954
Totally disagree. The UK is the most influential country in history; it essentially 'won' history.
>overrated
The modern world not enough for you bro?
>>416172
In what way did it win? Aside from having a big empire that didn't even last 300 years?
Greeks.

It's language and culture became dominant just at the right time, as the world was globalizing, which has probably entrenched them permanently.
English is the lingua franca of the world. Most of the world's governing and legal systems are modelled on the British. Anglo popular culture dominates the world in every respect. Not bad for an island in the North Atlantic.
It's entirely probably that no language other than English will ever be spoken on another planet, which is pretty profound when you consider it.
>>416190
Classical period deserves the attention it gets, Byzantine has some interesting aspects but is pretty overated, anything from the Ottoman era and onward is irrelevant and boring.
>>415961
They dont have an history at all
>>416208
English is the lingua fracta because of the USA, you saying "Anglo" is just trying to claim the US' mass culture as your own.
You did dominate in popularising sports though.
>>416208
Sorry limey, but America has long since taken over as the dominant English speaking/Anglo nation and is much more responsible for the language's prolific use worldwide. Not to discredit the UK, but the 20th century marks the passing of the torch from one global power to the next. Now we can all smugly benefit from not really needing to be multilingual.
>>415979
Wipe this pasta from the face of the earth.
American history is shit-tier.
>>416228
The US (as with Canada, Australia) is a daughter country of the UK. And of course having several of your settler colonies being major economic powers is part of English's dominance. But far from the only part.
English is deeply entrenches in many parts of the world as it became the common language of government/education/commerce in many extremely multilingual countries, due to the influence of the British empire. Most of Southern and Eastern Africa, a large part of West Africa, South Asia, other countries dotted around the world. Hundreds of millions of people live in countries where public life happens in English that aren't 'anglo' (although it opens them to the cultural influence more).
>>416285
So poor African and Asian shitholes speak English because a brutal empire forced and the developed world speaks English because of America making them want to due to great entertainment and business.

>The US (as with Canada, Australia) is a daughter country of the UK
And the UK is a daughter country of Rome, which was a daughter country of...
this is what you are doing here
>>416301
They are direct settler colonies of the UK, that tool its language and laws with them.
The analogy with Rome would be with Latin-speaking colonies of the Roman Empire back when they still spoke Latin.
>>416297
Pretty much this
Reminder that even in 1914, pic of the British Empire, French was still the international language while English was irrelevant in the civilized world
It only became widspread in developped countries after WW2 as the USA became a superpower and spammed the developped world with their cultural products (hollywood, popular music and later the internet)
>people learn english by watching the simpsons and fresh prince of bel air with subtitles when they grow up
>brits use this as a sign of their cultural domination
>>416002
If anything French history is underrated, especially the Middle Ages.

You needed to learn to speak my language. I didn't need to learn yours.
>>415979
Oh my god, is this pasta or bait? I can't tell

And you still learnt the tongue of the Anglo.
