You would be better off preferring Ottonian era or 'never conquered' (but horribly mauled by Germanicus) Classical Antiquity.
Early-modern Germany's one consolations are strong, independent Imperial Cities, and beautiful culture. Otherwise it was a decentralized disaster of robber barons and war.

I really hate this modern nationalist history school education
every non-country builds itself some kind of ancient backstory
nationalism started maybe something like 300 years ago.
Before that it was only about kings ruling about land. No ruler cared about the ethnicity of his subjects.
>>75757009
Based on reading a bit of our history, I'd say our best times were before the FUCKING SWEDES came in. So before the crusades.
We lived in peace and swedes raped, pillaged and burned our villages to spread christianity. Fucking faggot cucks.

The first republic. Nationalism was high, people were actually proud of the country, we were a highly industrial country, our economy as among the world's top ten even though we've never had colonies/slaves. Of course that Germans had to ruin it, fucking cucks.

Of course, you sad little cuck. Go suck Austrian dick somewhere else, I'm tired of this apologia.
>>75760761
That really depends on what period you're talking about. There were times when Kingdom of Bohemia was devastated (like Thirty Years War when we lost like 1/3 of our population), but there were also times when we were prosperous. I don't believe it has ever been better than the first republic, though.
Denmark has never been a part of Sweden
>>75761268
What is the definition of slave? Those were workers and god's children. They lived for king, according to king's notes, since king's people were the only ones with education to write or preserve notes. We should totally believe the queen, even when she owns all banks and wanted to enslave who world, causing world wars was an accident, she's beautiful, because Jesus.

He is literally 100% correct tho. Most of the industry and infrastructure that made the first republic such a great place to live was built by the austrians.
I mean even the democracy that we were so proud of (even tho tbqh it was FAR from being democratic country) was from large part built upon austrian foundation.

I'd say the high noon of British imperialism was the late 1800s, though the Empire reached its maximum extent in 1921 - (so we lose Iraq, Palestine - who cares?)

Nope. Denmark was in control of the North for a very long time. Maybe you should read a book, Muhammed.

Ethnicities always existed. Karl IV was from the house Luxemburg.

>>75763417
Most of nobility was Lithuanian up until end of XVI century, when it became polonized.
However, Lithuanian was never really widely spoken language in Duchy.
For one we didn't have our own written language up until middle of XVI century, and even after that Ruthenian or Polish was used as an official language in Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
And Lithuanians had a big flaw of being incapable of assimilating conquered people. Instead of making Ruthenians become Lithuanian, we largely lost our national identity ourselves.
Although, it is important to note that Ruthenian nobility in Lithuanian lands considered themselves Lithuanian nationals.

It's because of democracy/republicanism. When the state is ruled by the people, the type of people within a state begins to matter.
Also, kings almost always put the interests of their ethnicity above the others within their realm.
