why did your capital become your capital?
>>53001530
Berlin was residence of Prussian kings, and it was Prussia that united the German nations under it's rule.
Unrelated: OP's pic is German TV moderator Palina Rojinski, she's very well known here.
near the revolution when the 13 colonies need a place to gather when philly was out of the way
Because Prussia cucked Vienna out of all the german states and wanted to ensure Berlin as the supreme ruler of all germans ending almost a 1000-year long struggle between the two.
>>53001530
Moscow conquered everyone else except Vladimir because it was part of Vladimir-Suzdal dutchy.

>>53001530
The First capital was Iximche, capital of the Kakchiquel mayas, because they allied with the Spanish in order to bring down the K'iche maya kingdom, after that they rebelled and were put down by the Spanish who moved the capital to the foot of the Volcan de Agua (Water Volcano)
This city was called Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala and served as the capital for the Intendency of Guatemala for 14 years, until 1541 where torrential rains caused the water caught in the extinct Volcan de Agua to accumulate to such a point that it burst and a huge landslide destroyed the city (That's why its called Volcan de Agua) The site and city is now called Ciudad Vieja (Old City)
The capital was then moved to the Almolonga valley and kept the same name. As the Intendancy of Guatemala grew into a Royal Audience, and the into a Captaincy General, so too did Santiago and it garnered the royal name of "La Muy Noble y Muy Leal Ciudad de Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala" (The Most Noble and Most Loyal City of St. James of the Knights of Guatemala.) It became known as one of the most beautiful Spanish Cities in the Americas until it was destroyed by a series of earthquakes in the 18th Century and the capital had to be moved once more.
This time to a remote valley nearby. This new cite was christened "La Nueva Guatemala de la Asuncion" (The New Guatemala of the Assumption) and became the center of Colonial and postcolonial rule for the area, the Capital of the Federal Republic of Central America until 1834, and the capital of the modern Republic of Guatemala.
Old Santiago de los Caballeros is now simply known as "Antigua Guatemala" (Ancient Guatemala) or simply "Antigua"

Like all great compromises it mostly just angered both sides but at least it kept Filithadelphia from getting it.
Sometime in the second century. I don't know the exact year.
>>53001530
Sweden loses eastern part of their country.
Russian leader says "Toverich, I don't want heebe geebees, also Åbo smells like piss."
And that's how Helsinki was born.
>>53001530
Who is this melon felon?
>>53001530
it´s the only city lel
It became capital during the 17th century because it was right in the middle of the kingdom. Of course today, without Finland, it isn't anymore.
To bring development to the unpopulated Brazil's central territory
>because it's in the middle lol
literally the most boring history
post interesting capitals

Göteborg hufvudstaden when?
It's on the border of Upper/Lower Canada and it was sufficiently North so that should (when) America invades it will take several hours for their troops to reach it, so politicians could escape.
Proximity to the Ottawa river/valley and because it was on the border between Upper and Lower Canada in between Montreal and York
also it was a good blank slate to build a capital from scratch
>>53002882
we honestly should just annex you fucks and get it over with
>>53001530
>>53002264
...And later it conquered everything that opposed against her.

Some point in the bible I guess
>>53001530
Russians wanted Finnish capital to be closer to Russia and farther from Swedish capital city.
>>53002961
im in the military so it technically isnt country roleplay
>>53003009
i would not ask if there were no natives to explain
don't worry native perspective counts for nothing anyways
>>53003037
Stockholm is shittier though.
>>53001530
dublin was the biggest city and was already the center of administration in ireland

Stop being a faggot Tyrese
>>53001530
perfidious swedes, literally
it would've been better to move it to lvov or something, at least it was second cracow
>>53001530
Because Grand Duchy of Moscow was core of Russia formation.
We have 3 capitals, each one was the capital city of their respective country when the country was 3 countries.
>>53003072
nah, most problems it has is inherent in most capitals and large cities
>>53003266
Where do you have your parliament?
it was right on the border with austria, so we decided it would be cool for our government buildings to be in the range of austrian cannons
>>53001530
First time around 300 BC
Second and present time in 1870
>>53003281
So obviously, being shitty is not a disqualifier. Gothenburg can be capital now!
>>53003332
There are parliament buildings in multiple cities
>>53003052
>implying Tel Aviv isn't your capital
Our capital was initially Toledo but then the King decided to completely move the capital to his vacation place in Madrid, where he hunted and chilled.
Back then that had no positive advantages at all. It wasn't a strategically good spot, it had no incredible resources. But right now it is one of the most central places in the country which makes it logistically a good place to have the capital.
>>53002969
upper = up river
lower = down river

I'm in the Navy, but you're still just a dog with no pull
>>53001530
On 1920 when grand national assembly was founded
>>53001530
Because a Spaniard centuries ago thought it would be a good place, jokes on him, it isn't.
>>53003521
>Madrid
>More central than Toledo
Dublin became the most convenient river port access to Britain and so became the station of colonization by English settlers and resource flow. During the early 19th century it was actually the second largest city in the entire British Empire and regarded as a jewel of imperial culture and prosperity before it degraded into literally the biggest slum town in Europe by the turn of the 20th century.
>>53003589
haha get fucked hermano
>>53001530
because it's the fucking ROME
>>53003460
>implying London isn't your capital
>>53003708
What went wrong?
>>53001530
It became a provincial capital around the early 16th century. By the third quarter of that century, the first legal document in my language was issued, so there's that.

>>53004776
s-sorry
just memeing, but Atatürk really was stupid to make ankara the capital. This shithole of land still have the soul of a village and has literally no history.
Our past capital, Turku was too Swedish and far from Russia so the tsar relocated it to Helsinki that was back then just a small village.
romans
>attractive place to live for 10,000 years
>city structures since before 1050, when it according to the sagas was founded by Harald Hardråde
>around this time there's no proper capital in Norway, power is wherever the kings live
>some urbanization happens, power starts residing in a few different cities like Bergen, Nidaros (Trondheim), (Sarps)Borg, and Oslo
>in 1314 it's declared that Oslo is the place where "Chancellor of Norway" (the most important aid of king, or some shit) should reside, which is usually regarded as when Norway first gets a capital
>union with Sweden in 1319 but we still get to have some power in Oslo
>totally cucked by Denmark in 1536, capital is now Copenhagen. during this time, Oslo also gets renamed to Christiania
>new union with Sweden in 1814, but formally we get to be our own state with a government and official capital in Christiania
>all surströmming removed from Norway in 1905, Christiania is the capital of the independent Norway, and gets renamed back to Oslo in 1925

>>53007787
>Palina Rojinski
She is Marina yet she isn't Marina...the head swims at the paradox!
after the persian wars,circa 1000 bc
>>53008800
Because everything was located in Helsinki (Parliament, Universities, and other political institutions), and being at brink of civil war, moving capital because of Russians wasn't really our foremost problem.
>>53001623
Noice, thanks.
She's like a more "natural" looking Christina Hendricks
>>53008923
he asked why not when
when our grand duke was sleeping there he had a dream of a wolf and shit
Because it was closer to Sweden than Cracow.
Biggest and oldest city.
Because we got some plot of land between Maryland and Virginia to become our capital because we didn't like having a big city as our capital.
>>53001530
because some faggots kept accidentally burning turku down
>>53008124
>ilmeeni kun oon turkulainen ja kävelen joka päivä sen "tästä palo alkoi laatan yli"
because that's where the capital of the Roman province of Lower Pannonia stood and it was in the ruins of the same settlement (Aquincum) where Attila the Hun and then later Árpád, Grand Prince of the Magyars dwelled with his generals, then later it was atop a nearby hill where Hungarian kings started to build today's Royal Palace and things just went on from here, with minor breaks thanks to the Ottomans and the Habsburgs
present-day Budapest was only born in 1873 tho, when the seperate towns of Buda, Óbuda (Old-Buda) and Pest were adjoined together to form the new Hungarian capital
>>53001530
Because : LELELELLELELELEL ANCIENT ATHENS N SHIET DEMOCRACY LMAO
Worst decision ever.
>>53001530

Armies actually do the physical act of annexation, so even though you can't say "we", he can.

Northern Ireland.
Our 'capital' became so relatively recently because of ship building for the warring British empire.
Titanic lol.
Before that the capital was a different city known for putting shirts on the backs of the British empire across the globe.
Thankfully today they outsource.
Auckland was our capital, but some southerners resented the fact that Jaffas had control over the south island. So we moved it to Wellington which is the center of our country. This is why Auckland with a population of like 1.5m isn't our capital, but Wellington with like 400K is
>>53018238
Christchurch was lovely mate. Was there before the earthquake.
>>53001530
In 1255. With all the land we took from the moors, our king decide that Guimarães was no longer suited because it was too far up norte, and Lisboa was in a very good location: hills with a relatively large castle, fertilr plains around the hills, and the river's estuary just beneath. The city has been around since like 1000 BC I think, and was called something like Olisipo, then Felicitas Julia under the romans, then al-Ushbuna under the moors
because Rome
because it was the place where all the cocksuckers met to worship English cock
>>53017696
as someone who lived there and out of it, it's a shithole to the max
>>53019978
War Memorial is pretty tops though
>>53020027
oh i agree, that stuff is nice, it's just not a good place to live if you are young.
because Sydney and Lelbourne argued over who should be the capital and they finally decided to stick it between them
-Lands of first assembly
-Starting place of Independing War
-Middle of Anatolia where invaders couldnt get in.
>>53021673
> decided to stick it between them
It's 2 hours outside of Sydney
>>53022074

>>53001530
After Kiev was ruined by Mongols, Patriarch and all elites moved to Vladimir. Moscow was a small town in Vladimir lands, but due to sitting on important river trade route and its elite's intrigues overtook Vladimir as capital of knyazhestvo and then united other Rus lands under its rule.
