is it better to
>be an unsucessful country entirely of your own accord (even after a Good Leader gave you everything in the post war period but you threw it away after he died) BUT always remain better than your former colonies which are even poorer
or
>become a moderately successful country usurped and vassalized by your former colony, eternally living in their shadow and being fundamentally and utterly absorbed into their cultural sphere
Is it better to
neither fate is so bad
i dont know what happened to the french but i'd say have to take 10% of your former colony into your country but the english (but not the scottish or welsh) did this already
This. Also
>Great Britain
>only moderately successful
Nigga what
As long as I'm not French, I'm okay with both.
>as long as i'm not the good version of a spainiard i'm ok
well ok technically the good version of a spainiard is a portugese
is the second one referring to germany's relationship with america?
You forget what happens next
>Britain is collapsing
At least spain has tourism and good weather
They're the thirdies of north western Europe
Victory day in England!
True
we're richer than france though
implying this isn't all over europe
>we're richer than france though
By what metric? GDP is not a real measure of wealth.
we beat them in HDI also
>Franco
>good leader
>fundamentally and utterly absorbed into their cultural sphere
Along with everyone else on the planet.
He brought Spain from a semi-feudal society to a modern Western European industrial powerhouse. But he wasn't wholesome 100
>>Franco
>>good leader
Fair enough. HDI is legit.
mexico's jefe was franco but instead whored the country to usa and mass murdered peasants
imagine how much worse spain would be without the conservative catholic peasantry
lol
It’s even more of a meme metric and doesn’t even state to measure wealth in specific
>ireland has the same hdi of Switzerland
kek
I have a better option
>an unsuccesful irrelevant country that lost every war in its history, never expanded out of its own borders and left no legacy for future so will be inherently assimilated by the North American, Arabian or Russian culture
Be nice. Don't disrespect the dead.
