Incorrect. It never has been the border.

Even during Roman times, many Celtogermanic tribes lived in the Southern Netherlands/Belgium. They had ancestry from East of the Rhine. The Gaulish area didn't extend further north than current Wallonia, which is the primary reason it adopted Latin->French as opposed to Germanic Flanders.

Germany is rightful Dutch clay, as is France btw.

If France hadn't gone full Napoleon and united the rest of Europe against them they probably would have gotten all that territory slowly through acquisitions and royal inheritance and that kind of thing.

Where do you think Teutons got that name from?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Prussia
This was created by POLAND from ashes of Teutonic Order. That small part was in personal union with Brandenburg which got completely dominated by culture of the Duchy.

The most militaristic Prussians came from this region. I don't really know what you mean with Bavarians being Prussians since they opposed them.

The "realest" Prussians were Balts, Poles and Teutonic order leftovers.

Wrong

Belgium was allowed to exist because the power at the time really didn't want yet another war to figure the situation out. They were happy just to keep it an independent state after the revolution of 1830, and not have it be a vassal of France.

The powers of Europe ( save for France) wanted it back as a part of Nederland, but the Nederlander army was mostly made of recruits from Wallonian and Vlaanderen, so the Nederlander army was fucked when the Belgian Revolution of 1830 happened.
>>
>>57369540
It is acceptable at every level that the Rhine originate in Switzerland,

that is poetically OK
it is religiously OK
it is germanically OK
it is politically and historically OK

and so the Rhine need not be particularly German only or defined by the two-point dichotomy of Germany and France.

Holland - get used to it, I have.
it is there. It is down the Rhine.

>>57369581
France is distinctive and a great nation in many ways, not only a Great Power.
France and Germany should sit with eachother in a European arrangement, that is what I want. I do not want residents citizens of Germany of any class ruling France but if they move to France they are as French as I am then.
>>
Here are some points I'd like to make:

1. In Roman times, the Germanic tribes didn't live west of the Rhine.

2. In Roman times, Celtic culture people lived west of the Rhine. These people were likely ethnically French, but had a Celtic culture, except in the south where they were becoming "Romanized"

3. Latin speaking French people weren't a thing until the 200s-400s, and at that point Germanic groups had already started crossing into the Roman empire. The Empire settled them there as a way to prevent them from attacking Rome, thus trying to integrate them into the empire.

4. Germanic nobles ruled many kingdoms throughout Europe for the next few hundred years

5. The Burgundians who settled west of the Rhine were a Germanic tribe from what is now Poland, and came to that region from an island in the Baltic earlier on

6. The people of what is now France and Germany are very related genetically, especially around the Rhine

7. The entire Rhine was German speaking for most of the time from the fall of the Roman empire until the 1500s when France started gobbling up duchies and shit

8. Even though the nobles of many kingdoms west of the rhine spoke french, their people spoke Germanic languages for a long time

9. People in Alsace STILL speak German

10. All up and down the Rhine on both banks are old castles that belonged to Germanic kingdoms, and it wasn't until the late middle ages that the latin groups to the west tried to challenge this

However, federal laws and other official acts do not need to be decreed in Romansh.

Brandenburg was a principality around Berlin

It was inherited by the Hohenzollerns from Franconia ( which is Bavaria) in 1415

They didn't inherit Prussia until 1618, and it was called Brandenburg - Prussia until 1701 when it was just called the Kingdom of Prussia. It was still ruled by the Hohenzollerns.

The culture wasn't Prussia, the reason Prussia was so influential was the aristocracy of Prussia called the Junkers, who fucking loved war and love the military.

The Teutonic - Prussian connection is fucking stupid, the Teutons had long been gone by the time the Kingdom of Prussia was created. The culture of the Kingdom of Prussia was overwhelmingly based out of Berlin.

There's no way you can prove that slaves weren't influential on American music. There's no serious source for this. Of course European music is the foundation, but African slaves were very influential.

What people don't like to admit though is that African-Americans at that point (mid to late 1800s to early 1900s when those genres emerged as distinct genres) were more like European Americans and their descendants than they were like Africans

Wallonia was rich during the 19th century when it could use it's coal reserves to set up an industry. Before that it was a poor shithole and when the coal dried up it was a poor shithole again. Flemish cities on the other hand have been major trade hubs since the middle ages.

It probably was a good idea, unfortunately the only place that this happened turned into a total shithole - Liberia.

Still, culturally African - Americans were much more like Europeans than Africans within a generation. The things they contributed culturally were because of their experiences here ( and food wise, plants they brought here like watermons and okra).
>>
>>57394394

>they brought

No white people brought those here so black slaves could harvest them
>>
>>57394385
That's a really dumb claim

Obviously without European folk music as a background, those genres wouldn't have happened.

I don't think claiming literal African influence is what happened though.

It was African American influence, a group of people (like I've stated here in this thread) that within a generation or two were more like Europeans than Africans, culturally.

The influence they had on those genres, and in creating them, happened from field music that took 2 centuries or more to develop.

People don't fucking remember the culture of their ancestors from 2 centuries ago when they fucking stay in the same area, not to mention get shipped off across the world to a different culture, and are uneducated to boot!

How do they not have history?

If you can somehow claim history from the 1500s, why can't someone who bothered to trace their lineage claim that?

I don't have a connection to 1500s Germany, just like you don't have a connection to 1500s France. Our countries, and the country my ancestors came from has changed far too much.

The history that matters it the last 200 years. More has changed and developed in that time that the rest of human history combined.

Claiming America has no history only makes sense if you're making fun of our uneducated masses who are ignorant of the history of the United States of America.

That's why despite the fact I have genetic tests and documents to prove where my ancestors come from, I'd never say " I'm bavarian" or that " I'm Rhineish" or that "I'm Scottish"

I'm an American who ancestors came from Bayern, Mannheim, Scotland, and England.

The only cultural connections I have are the generic colonial American, English influenced connection every American has, and a bit of Bayern influence from my Bayerische great great grandparents - and that only survives in recipes they handed down.

Yeah, and no Amerindian popped up. Even if there was 4-5 gens back some that got in, you're very unlikely to pick it up because of the way genetics work.

I can trace many Deutsch/Nederlander ancestors back, but as you can see, I'm mostly English/scottish/Irish. most of my genetic material comes from groups of people who settled the American South in the late 1700s/early 1800s. Most of those are impossible trace back even 200 years or more, because they were degenerate farmers too stupid to make it in colonial Virginia/Carolina.

Also, whenever you hear someone claiming they have native American blood, it's probably not true. Not only could it never be identified if it is more than 4 generations back and only one individual, most people are making up stories or re-telling lies their parents/grandparents/great parents made up.

>>57397010
He should submit the raw DNA information to a better service. 1% is better described as "strange traces that MIGHT be indian, but more than likely are not"

For example on this screenshot, you'll see there's a few percent that's not European. It pops up as North African - but when I submitted it to another website, it says it can't say where this came from because all people have a certain amount of random junk.

Memes aside, ancestry research is quite interesting (can trace my oldest line to 1450s), but shouldn't lead anyone to identify as something they aren't (or haven't been for centuries). For example I'm probably 1/16 to 1/8 Slav genetically through my Silesian hurritage, but this doesn't compel me to squat in front of a commieblock wearing abibas tracksuit while slurping gallons of vodka inbetween krokodil injections

I live in a country full of idiots who don't care about our history, our culture past or present, etc. It's good to know your roots and your ancestor's past. We shouldn't forget those kind of things, in my opinion.

Also it's interesting to see who lied and who cheated in the past

>but shouldn't lead anyone to identify as something they aren't (or haven't been for centuries

Agreed, that's the point I've been trying to make as well.

>For example I'm probably 1/16 to 1/8 Slav genetically through my Silesian hurritage, but this doesn't compel me to squat in front of a commieblock wearing abibas tracksuit while slurping gallons of vodka inbetween krokodil injections

>>57397474
But that also doesn't mean I can't go and brew Bayerische style beers, eat an English breakfast, enjoy a burger, watch some American football, etc

That doesn't mean I can't learn about where my ancestors came from as well.

I am working on getting the papers from my Bayerische ancestors, they didn't come to the US until the late 1800s. I met their daughter and was babysat by their granddaughter as a kid. Despite how little they contributed ethnically to me, they're the immigrants I feel the closest to in many ways.

I'd never claim I'm anything but a white American, however.

Again, I didn't claim I wasn't. Everyone has mutts in their heritage. At least my mutts are all relatively similar, genetically. I'm generically "Northern European" ethnically.

>A lot of important things happened before the last 200 years.

None of which you have any more claim to culturally than I do, well, if I was someone connected to France.

>200 years is not even enough to change ethnically or culturally a region

Wrong. Plus, most of my ancestors came over more than 400 years ago.

>The fact that you want to bury all that under the carpet to make USA look better is pathetic

What am I burying? I think you're confused. What I'm saying is that Americans should be more proud that we have a distinct history from Europe. Europe was pretty terrible to live in for much of the past few centuries until the last 100 years or so.

> exactly why everyone hate the USA including me.

Ah, so you're just a bitter fatass NEET.

>So basically in that regard nothing has changed.

Bullshit. Food, music, art, religion, morality, architecture, fashion, language, literature, theatre have all changed immensely over the past few hundreds years.
