For me it would Ethiopia.

>Pretty much saved Islam in the First Migration/Hijra to Abyssinia

Give me more example of shit teir countries with underappreciated history
>>52272281
Poland
Turkey
Greece
Russia
Serbia (kind of).
Italy
Spain
Portugal
China
Iran
And a lot more.
>>52272338
So edgy
Mongolia and Arab countries
>Iraq
>Iran
Most prominent examples. But I don't agree with Ethiopia at all. They don't have any contributions, and none of their empires are worth remembering.

>He doesnt know about Persia, Sumer and Assyria
>>52272414
It's really not, all those countries are objectively shit at the moment and a shadow of their former glorious selves. Even prosperous countries like Germany, France, and the UK are pathetic versions of what they used to be, just not so bad as the rest.

Mali.

Sweden actually has a pretty interesting military past many centuries ago.

t. has always been a shithole
There's plenty of countering that fell because they closed themselves on their own little world. A prime example is Rome. I'd add Genoa, since the discover of the new world made it's colonies in Russia worthless.
Ottoman Empire, which fell so hard you can still hear the noise to this very day.
Ashanti, which was a rich country until they went full slavist and got annexed by UK
Mali, an important country stretched onto the major trading points between west Africa and nort Africa, before Islam turned them into a shithole (they even modified their flag to accommodate the Muslim pops)
Morocco, which is now a branch of France in Africa, much like Algeria and Tunisia (although Algeria has never been good. And Tunisia neither)
Egypt, since it could have been a prime example of first world country in Africa thanks to Suez, instead it's corrupt festival
Mughal empire
Mexico, their currency was, thanks to spain, the most used in the whole Asia. Since they went full separatism you know what they say about Mexico. Drugs and violence and shit. Not exactly a nice place to be in. Kudos to their separatist movement.
Germany, hadn't they followed the Austrian Kaiser, they'd still be the number one
Afghanistan, the country that handed their ass to the Brits
>>52272617
Anyway its still impressive for nigs
>>52272861
>before Islam turned them into a shithole
What? The Islamic age was Mali's golden age.
Maybe you're thinking about the Ghana Empire.

No

>Germany

>>52272338
>Russia
Russia has always been pretty shit, the only things that have ever made it great are the aristocracy that copied french art and the sheer mass of plebs with pitchforks they manage to send into each battle.
>>52272927
Yes, sorry I fucked up
>>52272338
>Italy
WE WUZ PAINTURS AND SHEEET
>>52272995
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was pretty damn impressive at its height mate.
>>52273107
Don't forget WE WUZ ROMANS, something that was a non-meme and used to motivate Italians to fight up until the end of WW2.
Entire EU
>>52273013
I consider the EU the fourth Riech. All you germans need to do is ditch the leftist policies that will leave Germany weak in the future. Theres too many degenerate migrants in Germany, they will be the achilles heel of the German empire.
>>52273201
Impossible, Germans are so cucked they even said they hadn't been punished enough for the Holocaust even when Bibi told them that it was okay and they didn't have to import millions of Muslims to make up for it.
When the Jews are telling you that you are taking multiculturalism too far, you know you're in trouble.
