It has pretty much contributed to everything in meaningful ways. Not quite as far up there as France and Italy in originally creating culture, but as a regionally unique derivative, one of the best.

Its most ghoulish contributions have obviously been the military revolutions entailed in the last century.

They are currently destroying the white race in Europe and turning the EU into a universally reviled organization that enforces race mixing and the abolition of welfare.

Thanks to German efforts, Europe will be rife with sectarian civil warfare and terror in 20 years, as the middle East is now, and the white population will plummet into extinction to be replaced by a muslim melange. The next caliphate will encompass not just the middle east, but all of Europe, and will be armed with nuclear weapons and strategic missile submarines. It will be capable of finally bringing about the end times and the eradication of the unbelievers.

Alhamdulillah.

I think Americans can't understand and appreciate jihadism the way Europeans can. My ideals are a minority position now, but that will change as people see the corruption of the current order through the teachings of the prophet.

Remember to swear allegiance to the caliphate, my brother, it is your duty before God.
>>
>>536301
I'm actually European and I'm looking forward to this unironic Caliphate.

Truly, we will be the master race that leads islam forward, in the ME, they can't even unite ideologically in an environment as small as Syria, yet we, as the harbingers of the ubermensch islam, msallam amdullilah, will be able to unite the Caliphate of the whole Europe.

Also, something something, jews are behind islam, multiculti something

It was also wholly differnet. The Chinese press used fixed block type. You had to carve each press individually because of the tens of thousands of characters in their written language. Moving block type made no sense for them but it did for the Europeans.

They have to be regarded as separate.

The history of Germany entails the events and peoples that have occurred and lived, respectively, in the same region before 1871, anon. This is a basic fact.
