What historical monarch do you most identify with?
For me it's George IV, a fat alcoholic.

Once the Roman Republic gained control of the Italian Peninsula, they had what was essentially comparable to a modern nation-state, with Rome as capital of course.

Early Modern Era, more closely 18th century when diplomacy started developing into its own branch and precise international agreements slowly started emerging.

>Rome was comparable to a modern nation-state
No, the Italian peninsula, under Rome's control, was comparable to nation-state. Rome itself was merely the capital.

How much do we really know about history? How much of it is fabricated or not? Is there a chance that all of it could be a lie?

That is the beauty of history. A lot of it is manufactured/propaganda. The art is the story, the science is using our best tools to decipher it through all the bullshit.
This is why anthropological-archaeology is so important in order to help us contextualize where the writings have disappeared.
Consider the following, Herodotus the guy stickied too the board is perhaps one of the biggest bullshitters of the Roman story/history, yet we have to use most of his writings to help put the time period into perspective.
It is actually quite fitting to have him as a mascot on this board as a lot of anons ascribe to a lot of "conspiracy" theories and historical propaganda that has made it through the ages (myself included at times)

How come in every Central Powers victory map or whatever else I see, Austria-Hungary is always split up? Is there a historical reason for this?

I think you forgot your handle @ImperialCult
If the Soviet victory over the Germans didn't count because the Germans were outnumbered, does that mean the German victory over the Polish didn't count because the Polish were outnumbered?

If only the backstabbing Hellenics in the government had not diverted all the resources to fuel their hedonistic realm in Byzantium, that is how the Roman Empire would've survived.
Give me arguments against hard determinism.
