And then leftists claim they like diversity and multiculturalism. Is there anything more diverse and multicultural in the history of Europe than the political organization of the Holy Roman Empire?
Did they refer to themselves as Romans, or were they just Germans in the Roman Empire?

>The course of events showed that the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was neither a revolution, nor great, nor cultural, and in particular, not in the least proletarian.
>>503945
It was a hilariously bad consolidation of power in local princes that led to the Thirty Years War. It worked marvelously.

Does that mean UK can call itself France?
>>504196
England is pretty much France though
>>503862
Not really, there's shit load of earth below the oceans you know. What you meant to say, there's more water than land above water.
>>504196
Well, given that the ruling House in England at the time of this map was French, I guess so

I can't believe there are people this retarded on the board.

FOR ANYONE THAT ACTUALLY THINKS OF THE HRE AS MORE THAN A MEME AND WANTS TO KNOW WHY IT APPEARED SO FRAGMENTED FROM THE LATE 17TH CENTURY UNTIL ITS DISSOLUTION

It is united
It has a monarchy
It is on the island known as Great Britain and the northern part of Ireland
>>503761
>Held Rome
Briefly
>Were granted holy status by the pope
This was before the HRE forgot to pay its mercenaries until they took the pope hostage for ransom money
>An Empire
With a central authority that weak? The HRE was an empire as much as the UN is a world government.
was hre considered a single state or more like a eu type deal?
>>503873
the second one
>>506240
HRE existed mostly during the time modern state concept didn't really apply. When they had started to apply gradually, our friend Voltaire said it best.
Guess it could be called a confederation or some shit.

>Briefly
Coronated by the Pope.
>This was before...
Both concept and name originated around the time of Charlemagne, who was coronated in Rome as the emperor of the West.
>with a central authority...
An empire is not required to be centralized at all, you can maintain a vast empire of autonomous tribal units. During the time of Charlemagne when the concept was first used, there were many prolific slavic units within the sphere of influence and under the control of the Frankish kingdom. (bohemia)
