You can’t blame the Germans for it essentially

The germans kinda had to get involved

Yeah I read a great novel and the writer is basically my favorite author, I wondered why there aren't more books
Turns out he dies at 25 in a fucking trench

I mean when you look at it, there were no great intellectuals on the continent between 1912 and 1950

They all were fucking murdered

The rule of thumb when it comes to conflicts being covered by the American education system , if you can’t blame the British or the Germans for it, it’s not covered

And that makes me so <:pinkwojak:422439817528344577>

I love the cultures of both of them

The British are blamed for everything pre 20th century and the Germans are blamed for everything during the 20th century

I love the British aesthetic and propriety and the German love of efficiency

The Germans are geniuses when it comes to engineering

^

And theres nobody more polite and chivalrous (historically) than the Brits

I mean, a German made the repeater gear by taking a shitty French design and improving on it

Art, science, music, literature, England and Germany were the foremost in all of history

They made a ton of great guns as well, the Gewher line, the Mauser line, so many great guns. And don’t even get me started on the tanks

I'm more of talking about the culture

Hi more of talking about the culture, I'm Dad!

The Germans are the undisputed masters of mechanized warfare

Fuck off dad

Tfw Germany should have made the robot flammenpanzer

Use it to cook judensteins from the comfort of your own home

And your son Hans asks if he can try to fry some heebs

The Germans have the most major success story in history. A little random fuck off kingdom that no one cared about to a major power of culture, art, education, and military in a few hundred years built upon ingenuity and strength

Sweden used to be badass in the 1700s

Yea, they took no one’s shit and taught off everyone including Russia and was actually winning

The Swedish navy was second only to the Brits

Then they chased Russia too far and got caught in an area where the Russians had burned all the fields

And then died

Sweden is a sad site man, now people only recognize it for IKEA

Do you think WWI and WWII actually broke Europe irrevocably? Because all the europeans have been engaged in constant "brother wars" for over 1000 years anyways

They have no idea about the epic history of Sweden

That and the place where if you're a man and dont drink a gallon of cum a day you're arrested for homophobia

Oh yes, the world wars definitely shattered Europe

There were just as bad tragedies back then as now weren't there

@RDE not to the extent of WW1 tho

It killed an entire generation

What about the fall of Rome for example

Or maybe that's too far back

That broke Europe and sent them to a dark age for 1000 years

The gap in education and greatness after WW1 caused the Second World War which caused the current situation
