We should appreciate the fact someone actually drew all states in the HRE

[Captain_Titus]

The map of the “Holy Roman Empire” was the most unholiest thing I ever gased upon.

[nuyabuisness]

If you want a fascinating story, look up the accomplishments of Otto von Bismarck. The man was a political and military powerhouse. He also predicted the end of the Kaiser's reign 20 years after his death, and was off by less than 6 months.

Is just me or anyone else feel pity for the cartographers who had to draw the map of the HRE?

[brennenkowtko]

Technically, the Holy Roman Empire was founded in 800 with Charlemagne, though 962 is also accurate in a weird way.

Amazing how WW1 ending directly caused WW2

[BilboBaggMan]

My history class was so busy screaming how bad the Nazis were I really didn't learn anything about them.

[BOSANCERO-ARBIH]

I'm from Europe my grandfather fought against the Nazis. But my grandfather said he hasn't never came across better soldiers than the German soldiers in the battlefield

[linajurgensen]

(After WW1) The Treaty of Versailles was more or less the reason for WW2. They punished Germany way to hard. Many people even say the plan was to destroy the country completely through the treaty of versailles. Taking away Germany’s military (from 4 mio to only 100 thousand) was a big humiliation for them. The country had one of the most advanced military and it was definitely one of the biggest prides of the nation. Another problem was that in the territories that got taken away from them, there lived many ethnic Germans who didn’t want to belong to the neighboring countries. They also could’ve never payed the allies with the money they demanded from Germany. The country itself was in a huge economic crises. It was only a matter of time before another war would break out. (And don’t forget that they lost all their colonies in Africa and Asia)
It was also not fair that Germany had to accept all the war guilt for a war they didn’t even start in the first place which made the people even more bitter.

WW1 - 80% of the world vs Germany
WW2 - All vs Germany

[Aro]

Wow, the Holy Roman Empire lasted about 1000 years.

[redfishplayz]

Fun fact:
In Germany, we never actually learn about the 1st Empire in depth Like we do about france from Ludwig XIV To Napoleon

[littlehansle]

So glad people get to know this. Since many believe "tHey wErE aLl NaZiS"

[pumpkinlord]

Fun fact:
The full name of the HRE is actually "Holy Roman Empire of German Nations"

[carpetlayenful]

I learned this in school, a little weird this was left out. This considering all the time they spent on the world wars.

[oobrocks]

Can someone explain to me y Germany was blamed for WW1? They didn’t “start the fire;” World War I was triggered by a complex web of alliances, tensions, and events, but the immediate spark was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary on June 28, 1914. The first two countries directly involved in the conflict were:

1. **Austria-Hungary**: After the assassination, Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia, which led to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia on July 28, 1914.

2. **Serbia**: Serbia was the country against which Austria-Hungary declared war, marking the beginning of the hostilities.

[minzekatze]
