Is it safe to say that "Europe" as an entity was born with the rise of Charlemagne?
>>
Only Christcucks who can't reconcile the FACT that Europe thrived the most when Christianity didn't exist and only recovered when Christianity was neutered by the enlightment claim that.
>>
>>922295
No. Europe as an entity was born with the remarkable successes of Pepin the short

A backwater shithole, filled with naked barbarians getting their asses kicked by Rome.

Civilizations were centered around the Levant, North-Africa and the medittereanian.

Number 1. Conqueror and colonizer of the world. Traditions, family values, morals and ethics.

Even if that's true it don't mean themre was a european entity. The romans loathed the European Germans and loved the semitic Egyptians as an example.

objectively better in terms of what?
Aside from piety, what did post-classical, pre-englightenment Europe have that was so great?
>>

Nope.jpg

Europe was born in the 1700's.

In Charlie Maynes time it was pretty much "Christendom" and "Barbarians/Pagans/Whatnot." Charlie didn't give a hsit about no European identity. Whole of Medieval history didn't.

Didn't the majority of Europe's world colonization occur after the beginning of the Enlightenment?
Didn't those naked Barbarians have plenty of traditions and family values?
Wasn't Song dynasty China more technologically innovative and economically prosperous than their European counterparts?
Weren't the Mongols the military powerhouse of the world during the 13th and 14thcenturies?

You know, I don't remember Charlemagne planning attacking on Muslims throughout the middle east like what ISIS is doing to Europe.

The concept of Europe was born with the Roman empire.

Only the most idiotic contrarian would deny that.

Even today nearly all of the modern European countries retain the names Rome gave them as provinces.

Also Charlemagne a shit.

He was an illiterate warlord that tried to ape the Byzantine Empire and failed.

>The concept of Europe was born with the Roman empire.
That's completely stupid. Rome united the Mediterranean, not Europe.
>>
>>930498
>denying the concept of europe didn't arise when the with the romans
your inner autist is showing. Rome gave actual civilization to europe and it continued its legacy to other parts not already part of the empire.

It's "Pépin le Bref" --- Pepin the Brief. The surname was added two centuries after his death, --- earlier sources only name him "Pippinus piissimus" --- Pépin le Pieux, Pepin the Pious.

The "Pépin the Brief" surname most likely comes from a misunderstanding, in Medieval Latin, of the word "Brevis", which here would have been used to mean "Pepin Junior" by opposition to Pepin the First, his grandfather. On the other hand, "Brevis" was also used to qualify his grandfather, before moving down to him.

The mistake seems to have taken hold around the 12th century.

The Greeks were the first to define the Aegean as the border between Europe and Asia. The Romans and Byzantines carried on this idea.
>>
>>922704
And? It's not as though during the middle ages you didn't have people who'd side with Arabs and Moors over other Europeans.

Cultural, religious, etc allegiances always fade away when there's more to be gained by allying with the other side.

That's so wrong. The only ones I can think of are Italy, Spain, Germany and Belgium. And Germans don't even use that name.
