1/10, only awarded points because such an argument could appeal to edgy atheist teenagers

3/10, only gains validity if you're a butthurt Irish nationalist

10/10. This is my answer so obviously I'm correct

7/10, it's a semi-functioning state now but it's basically been in a state of fucktation for a good 2/3rds of its history

There are two kinds, the ones who were great but could have done more and then some shitholes. Spain and Russia would be on the first group and on the other there are many other options, like Paraguay, Ireland or some African shitholes.

Poland.

1655: Sweden invades Poland with the help of the Tartars and Cossacks. Poland is devistated. A population of 10 million is reduced to 6 million.

1700s: Russia, Prussia and Austria fight over Poland. They settle the dispute by dividing Poland into thirds.

1791: Catherine the Great invades Poland to break up its new democracy.*

1793: Russia and Prussia take over half of what is left of Poland.

1795: Poland is non-existent for the next 123 years.

1870s: Russia attempts to eradicate Polish culture, making Russian the official language in the Russian partition. Prussia does the same in their portion of Poland.

1890s: Poland experiences mass emigration due to poverty. Four million out of 22 million Poles emigrate to the United States. This good luck for America.

1915: World War I: Poland becomes a front. Poles were forced into the Russian, German, and Austrian armies and forced to fight against one another.

1919: The Polish-Soviet War.

1926: Pilsudski makes himself dictator of Poland.
>>
>>931589
1930s: Poland signs a nonaggression pacts with Germany and the Soviet Union.

1939: Germany and the Soviet Union sign a nonaggression pact.

1939: Hitler and the Soviet Union invade Poland. Mass arrests, executions, and exiles begin.

1940: The Katyn Massacre was a mass execution of Polish nationals carried out by the Soviet secret police. The massacre was approved by Stalin. The number of victims is estimated at about 22,000,

1941: Poland remains under the Nazi regime for the next three years. Many Poles are deported to labor camps. The Polish intelligentsia are executed. The Germans exterminate Poland's three million Jews.

1941: The Nazis also killed roughly five million gentiles as part of Generalplan Ōst.

1944: The planned destruction of Warsaw occurred while Russian "rescuers" prevented the Allies from helping. The capital was destroyed, every monument, every historical building, every church, every library and the entire national archives. The city was rebuilt by the Soviets into a soulless grey nightmare during the Cold War.

1945: The Soviet Union, the United States and Great Britain meet at Yalta and agree to leave Poland under Soviet control.

1990: Prices in Poland rise by 250%, with incomes dropping by 40%.

2010: A Polish plane crashed in Russia killing all 96 people on board, including the president and former president, the chief of the Polish General Staff, the president of the Bank of Poland, Poland's deputy foreign minister, 15 members of parliament and senior members of the Polish clergy. Russian involvement is suspected by many.

> China

Pretty much recovered from Mao's reforms through Deng's reforms, cucked the Brits and took back HK including land ceded to them in perpetuity, and became the world's second largest economy so I guess in the words of Mao it "stood up again". So yeah despite all the pollution, communism and shit I would say the history of post Mao China isn't too bad, as even events like Tiananmen is child play compared to I dunno the Taiping riots, Japanese invasion and the Cultual revolution. Overall it's modern history is a mixture of great tragedy and triumph.

> South Korea

Democratic state that is highly developed and successful, however if we are talking about Korea as a whole not so much. I guess in terms of modern history Korea is a mixture between total success and total failure.

>Japan

It's modern history up until its defeat in WW2 was pretty glorious, however after its defeat its military got neutered by the U.S and became a Western puppet as opposed to the Asian superpower it was poised to become. Attempted to become economic superpower in the second half of the 20th century, managed to become very developed and wealthy but fell into a recession that continued on till today. Overall pretty nice modern history, but depressing in that it could have became a superpower twice, but failed both times and is still under the control of a country that nuked it twice today.

Argentinian here, I know you humanities losers like to pretend human biology has no effect on human societies but the Argentina of those pictures was almost exclusively composed of Spanish and Italian immigrants and first generation borns, modern Argentina is a little over half mixed race as shown by genetic studies(its actually worse than it sounds because of the distribution of those % since old people inflate the unmixed number), we got fucked over by immigration from Latin American shitholes, well actually we didn't get fuck over in a sense that pure blood Europeans still live in relatively wealth but now we look bad on statistics because mestizos are the majority.

There was an economic decline caused by the end of the world wars but yeah in the long run the mass migrations of less educated people, with an inferior culture and a genetic tendency to develop low IQs sealed the deal.

>All that infrastructure and railroads
I do not know much about Argentina, but my country was full of railroads and amazing infrastructure from colonial times. We had a shit tons of trains and railroads because they were used primary to move the agrarian products. After the 40's we quickly industrialized and most people started to do government jobs and all that infrastructure died with the agriculture. Today we only have one train and it is for the metropolitan faggots.

>There was an economic decline caused by the end of the world wars
No, in the 40s+ we were wealthy

There were like 7 coups in a row that fucked up the country beyond repair

the nigger immigration was the final nail to the coffin from around 90% white to 50 something % between the 90s and now. In only 26 years the demographics changed dramatically

The kirchner handed taxpayer money to niggers like it was candy, an average nigger family gets 5 welfare plans 1 per unemployment, 1 per kid, 1 per kid that goes to school, 1 per unemployed family (when both are) and the last one i dont remember i think it was if they earn less than x money per month

They also gifted them free retirement pension even tho they never worked which of course came from the peopel who do work

>the kirchner handed tax payer money to niggers and that's what caused economic decline
Wrong,the thing that fucked the country over was all the nepotism and invented jobs on the state (meaning those jobs don't produce anything,they are just burocratic inventions) and corruption.Millions of millions of dollars handed over to Kirchner sympathizers.My father was one of them so I know what I'm talking about,imagine keeping a relationship with a person like that.
Also,the AFIP persecuting people who work for real for more money strangled the real economy to a point that became unbearable. The state sucking the money out of the middle class to feed the lower and high class
Peronism created the illusion of freedom and growth,when in reality it's just a process in which they exploit natural resources to the point of exhaustion,causing an economical crisis just after they finish their term so they can blame the next government and come back in 4 years.
Also,Peronism is a fugazzi,it doesn't have a clear definition,so when they lose they just blame the previous peronist government and say it wasn't really peronist,so their regroup with a new name and story repeats itself. The opposition also contributes to all this process by being useless leaders that can't do anything but suck the first world's dick.
Argentina is beyond saving,leave it there to rot in the dust.
Also,the Kirchner kept the middle class happy with vacations and little rises to hold them from revolting,they are all at fault,they are all despicable and the country's mentality in general is what's keeping it from restoring itself.

Bulgaria. Start from Thrace around 1000BC - internal conflicts, various tribes fighting each other, no unity, if kingdom is established it lasts for around 300 years and collapses under foreign rule. Massive amount of external influence and puppet rulers.
Odrysian kingdom - then under Greek rule and influence, Thracian kingdom - then under roman rule and influence Bulgarian empire - then under Byzantine, Bulgarian tsardom - then under Ottomans.
Modern day Bulgaria, since 1878 - period of commie influence, now under NATO sphere influence.

in the 80 the secret services were monitoring everyone and a large percentage of the population were informants, there was a strict censorship and the leaders figure was everywhere. it wasn't brutal but by late 80s you had to sit in line to buy food, the TV program was only 2 hours daily (compared to 18 hours or something like that in the 70s), electricity was frequently cut and there was little hot water. so unpleasant was a better word.
the worst part was that abortions were illegal and there were no contraceptives other than condoms and even those were rare and of really poor quality

that cognitive dissonance

I agree argentine people from this day of age tend to be completely mediocre but all the governments for the past what? 70 years have been terrible


What we have today is the last stage of a long process

Spain politicians are direct inheritors of the fascist government. No, it is not a joke, the main right wing party was created by Manuel Fraga, an important member of the fascist government, and still nowadays is at best ambiguous about the extreme right wing past and ideas.

When not saying that the Republic, the democratic government who lost against the fascist rebel army, was worse than the dictatorship.

The left wing party is not much better, always trying to not be too left winged.

Also, corruption is rampant among the politicians, who also have heavy control over the media, and have reduced all kinds of freedom in favour of power and money.

To make that a *real* national tragedy is ludacris. President Kaczynski was very unpopular to say the least. Most people who died where from the political party affiliated with him (also very upopular).

>Russian involvement is suspected by many.

Thats a conspiracy theory as credible as 9/11 did by the Bush Family/Jews/Reptilians.

I'm from Estonia and this sums up our whole history.
Ancestors were wealthy and then the Soviet came, took it all and sent most people to Siberia.

Nowadays Estonia claims "no debts" but that means shit to us when the minimum wage is 360€ / month and health insurance covers only the bare minumum.

Germany of course. It's the very heart of Europe, and the continent's future depends on it.

Judging by how awesome Germany performed even after being raped in large scales wars on multiple occasions in different centuries, its certain future dissolution will seal the fate of the Western hemisphere for good.
