I agree, the UK is pretty awesome.
>born out of rebellion
>instituted a form of democracy and capitalism that would be emulated worldwide
Barons' War lead to Magna Carta.
>ended the use of slaves
UK outlawed slave trade in 1807 and slavery in 1833.
>pioneered science, engineering, and mathematics
Ever heard of Newton?
>kickstarted worldwide modernization due to two industrial revolutions

These are self-evident.

That's what this thread is, isn't it?
>>429557
>ended the use of slaves
Most European countries had already abolished slavery hundreds of years before America though
>>429546
Yes, glorious Ireland
>>born out of rebellion
1916
>>instituted a form of democracy and capitalism that would be emulated worldwide
Ireland had its own system of common law long before the Anglo-Saxons stopped being savages. Meaning every common law country is emulating Ireland.
>>ended the use of slaves
The successful diplomacy of Irishmen lead the end of serfdom in Ireland with Catholic emancipation.
>>pioneered science, engineering, and mathematics
It is a well known fact all the best scientists ever are of Irish descent, as well as all the native born ones.
>>kickstarted worldwide modernization due to two industrial revolutions
Also probably by people of Irish descent.
>>helped develop central america and south america with things like the panama canal
Irish hero Che Guevara helped to develop Latin America by fighting against American imperialists.
>>saved the world in two different wars
Ireland saved the world from Napoleon.
>>became a beacon of culture through entertainment, science, fashion, and city-planning
There's an Irish pub in every city on the planet, nuff said.
>>429546
This is the best bait ever. Its so good I'm impressed. I can feel it working.
Yes, comrade, USSR is truly beautiful country!

I'm just curious, how could a less developed country help a more developed country? That's like Mexico helping the US.

>>430086
A lot of them do but honestly they don't really need to.
All languages apart from English (with the exceptions of maybe Arabic, Spanish, Russian and Mandarin) are totally obsolete.
Learning Irish would just take time away from more important activities like wanking and getting pissed.
>>430107
>languages are obsolete
Your languages influence how you think.
If people only know English, we'll have less varied thinking in the world.
>>430083
They also turned their agressors into the cuc.kest nation in the world.
>>430122
I didn't say they're useless, just that they're obsolete.
Learning a new language might expand your horizons, but there's no real need to do it provided you know English. It's like how learning to write in short hand might be useful in some aspects, but with the invention of computers and recording software few people it's largely unnecessary.
>>430140
What I said is that every language you know influences your personality.
To say "languages other than English can die out" is the same as saying "ethnicities other than American can die out"
>>430148
>American
>Ethnicity
That's what you mutts actually believe.
>>430158
There's a reason why I used quotation marks, sonny.
>>430148
They could die out, and it wouldn't make much of a difference other than the world being more Anglo-minded.
On the other hand if every ethnicity other than Americans died out the overwhelming majority of the world's population would be dead and that's bad for obvious reasons
>>430127
>some guy said something on the internet

Stormfags, everyone.

And I'd like for more mindsets than that.
The Anglo mindset is fun, but I like variety.
>>430105
Stalinist architecture was kind of cool, it's during the reign of that retard Kruschev when they switched to those commieblock brutalist abominations.

U wot mate? Vienna, Zurich and Copenhagen are the most prestigeous cities in the field.

America was the last great power west of Vienna to Industrialize, though?

Americans like to tout how everywhere has a mcdonalds and that's some symbol of American cultural dominance, then they seem to conveniently forget this when it comes to the negative associations.

sorry, nations who lost to rice farmers can't be superpowers, treyvon.
>>429546
American democratic system isn't standard for western democracies.
Most of them are either mixed or parliamentary systems with proportional voting system instead of FPTP(for good reason too).
And one of the few countries that hasn't outlawed slavery before 1850, outside of the US was Brazil or something.
>>430088
After two multi-million soldiers big armies rolled through Eastern Europe "more developed" wasn't a case anymore. USSR didn't lost its industry tho.
>>430148
Do you actually think it would be detrimental if everyone could speak a common language? What purpose does having hundreds of languages and dialects that hinder communication between the barrier serve?
>>434121
Diversity
>>434028
What the hell American says McDonald's is one of their greatest cultural exports? Most US expats and tourists complain about its ubiquity in other countries because they want to see something different for once.
>>429644
We're on a history board you fucktard.
>>435133
Speaking the same language doesn't make you think like me. Language is just communication of thoughts through grunts and scribbles.

>born out of rebellion
There's a shorter list of countries that weren't born out of a rebellion.
>instituted a form of democracy and capitalism that would be emulated worldwide
The system was an amalgamation of different systems. (i.e. the separation of powers being partially based upon the Iroquois Great Law of Peace, and the British Parliament and monarchical systems)
>ended the use of slaves
After most countries, and after a minor uproar.
>pioneered science, engineering, and mathematics
Are you stupid?
>kickstarted worldwide modernization due to two industrial revolutions
That was the Brits.
>helped develop central america and south america with things like the panama canal
That was the ONLY development we did. Unless you count supporting banana republics.
>saved the world in two different wars
"saved"
It's not like the Limeys or Russkies helped or anything.
>>440996
Internal problems, mostly, and lack of a strong leader. Capitalism also played it's role, rich Dutch merchants started investing in foreign instead of national ventures, because those were more profitable. The navy and army were neglected, and the Netherlands slowly slid into the irrelevance of the 18th and 19th century. Funnily enough, during most of the 18th century the Netherlands was the richest country in the world.
>>429546
The British, your owners you little bitches, rebels of Roman occupation and goes from there kids, indistrial Revolution and so on. British true goat of the world.
