protestantism doesn't have a proper aristocracy
with possible exception of france
eastern europe is more religious
but south america is the most religious isnt it?
Which gives it flexibility that aristocracy does not possess.
The only big Euro country that remained Cath, but went very secular, is France. But I think we can agree that that's a special case with the revolution and all
flexibility insofar as it is weaker, yes
which revolution
?
the wars of religion
or the real revolution
French Revolution
They fookin hated the Church fam
US still has hegemony due to the flexibility.
didnt napoleon get crowned by the catholics tho
what do you mean
Napoleon sent for the Pope
took the crown from the Pope's hands
and crowned himself
see
i dunno what is
Pope had no choice
the papacy also supported that one kingdom in south americq
short lived tho it was
tbh
can you imagine
brazil?
how much better the western hemisphere would be
if hapsburg mexico was still alive
US started with Protestant values (including said flexibility and reactivity to world events). This allowed the Frontier mindset to develop in harsh odds. @Death in June
at one point in time the portuguese wanted to fuck off from europistan and to establish a new kingdom in brazil
yeah but
i meant speciifclly
the kingdom of mexico
i dunno about that
tho honestly the portuguese shouldve done that
i don't think this is needed to explain the us swallowing up easily taken territory
anything to escape europe
and make south africa better
