Has there ever, in the entire history of humanity, been an entity more pathetic than the German """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""empire""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""?

The second Reich was glorious and would have been the strongest power in the World if not for WW1

It was the strongest power before WWI. Germany alone was single handly beating France, Britain and Russia. Even the German's navy gave Britain's navy a run for its money.

We fucked up by not pursuing Colonialism enough, but we had a good run. Should've never protected Austria
>>56088204
Wow, that's so mean.
>>56099242
this. Of all you could banter how Germany was shit during some time period, the time from 1871-1914 was certainly anything but pathetic. We should have get befriended with france more, so that the World Wars wouldnt happen, and Europe would be unimaginable great today.
>>56099391
True, France deserved better.
>>56088204
I'd have to say the third """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""reich"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""". High school freshmen have already outlasted it, and it ultimately cost Germany quite some land.

This... Learn history.

Maybe yes, maybe not. Who can say what would have happened?
