@MarkusvonRoder @St4rK33p3r @ZoomerHistorian This doesn’t address what I said.

The Nazi navy was debilitated, and Hitler wanted to invade England, and would have if things went his way in the Battle of Britain.

The Germans viewing the English as racial cousins doesn’t disprove this.

@MarkusvonRoder @St4rK33p3r @ZoomerHistorian He only delayed it indefinitely because they lost the Battle of Britain. Had he succeeded, he would have proceeded with an amphibious invasion of Britain. So your pointing out the ‘indefinite delay’ is maliciously decontextualised.

@KnightOfBeowulf @classicspilled There hasn’t been a monarch of political sway since Queen Anne. She couldn’t control that.

Also, the end of the British Empire was then an inevitability. The same happened to every colonial empire after WWII.

Read a good history book and you’ll be under the same impression.

@Italian347 There’s also this fwiw:

“King of the Romans (Latin: Rex Romanorum; German: König der Römer) was the title used by the king of East Francia following his election by the princes from the reign of Henry II (1002–1024) onward.”

Interesting tidbit.

@Italian347 Being an ex-mormon myself, missionaries make me sad.

Young men losing their earliest years of adulthood because they’re told it’s their duty to serve a mission; if you don’t, there’s a stigma.

It’s hard to leave too. May God guide all those befuddled by Joseph Smith’s legacy.

@eeldenden @PlagueEnjoyer How does it not make sense to recognise the differences between nation states?There is no reason Bulgaria and Ireland and Estonia and Portugal should have the same government.

@stanxq @rsobc318 @valentinemartyr Christians and Hindus both have scripture and prayer. I suppose that makes you a Hindu.
