Had
Because it was a sort-of confederation
I'm just saying
Small nations could be protected by the bigger ones
Sorbia if taken from Poland and Germany
Might be fine
Plus
The HRE predates the idea of nationalism
Well
There was always nationalism
I hate when people say that
Until its very end of it's life
You don't think people cared about if France survived?
It wasn't the big multi ethnic society
Like Germany
But bavarians and the like cared about their identity
Germany is an artificial concept
Yeah there was nationalism amongst the nobility sometimes such as in Scotland where they didn't want to be ruled over by Anglos and started rebellions, but nationalism was nowhere close to the scale it would reach later
It existed
Yes
Thing is about Germany us
The union killed a lot of smaller German cultures
Or dialects
It kinda just absorbed them into larger groups
Yeah
That's what nationalism is
Then what about Russia?
Regional identities are either worn down or eliminated entirely
It's still very diverse
And has a lot of regional ethnicities
It even holds some of the last ethno-religious pagans
Because they were still "Germans"
While Russia is fairly diverse out of Europe
Germania to me is a mess of like similar looking flowers
Only slightly related enough to be considered the same family
Then when put in the same pot
They bred and kinda formed a new idea of Germany
Yes.
