If Austria had won the German War of 1866, they likely wouldn't have created such an empire, but if they wanted and managed to either convince the Prussians (through diplomacy or military defeat) and other smaller states like Saxony, Bavaria, Baden and Württemberg it would have been possible.
Prior to the defeat in 1866 they even proposed a German confederation under their leadership, Großösterreich.
The same could be said in case of the Prussian victory, but the Prussians didn't want to have a comparably powerful state in the new empire, so they preferred the kleindeutsche Lösung, without Austria.
I don't think the other powers would let that happen, though, so the newly formed country would have to defend itself against France, Russia, likely Britain and maybe even Italy or the Ottomans.

What was life there like?
Italian Libya's old borders were disgusting
It's not border gore if it's a feudal state with most of its lands inherited.

Has there ever been a cult that subscribed to this philosophy?

No, but if there was, it would have its own board by now.
What was that small sect of Christians that were notable for attacking passerbys with clubs while praising god in order to get themselves killed and achieve martyrdom?

WHY SHOULD ANYONE NOT BE UPSET AT THE LOSS OF NATIONAL TERRITORY?

Because it's an easy way to distract the plebs. Screech about it loud enough, and they don't notice how incompetent the government is.

Can we all agree christianism destroyed all what used to be true spirituality and iniciatic knowledge and replaced it with a shallow religion designed to reach to the spiritual simpletons?
Define 'spirituality'.

Real Christinanity, middle eastern christianity died so long ago than to robbing plundering and religious cleansing ( golden age of islam)
That all we got now (especially the roman catholic church) is a poor excuse to get power and pull money from people.
It was closer to mysticism than to catholicism today.

"In a strict household there are no unruly [people], but the children of a kindly mother often turn out bad. From this I know that power and authority can prevent violence, but kindness and generosity are insufficient to put an end to violence."

The US is a terrible example because it is obscurantist in terms of law...there are thousands of contradictory and vaguely-worded rules and regulations, and the legal profession depends on twisting words and finding loopholes. This is not rule of law in a Chinese legalist sense
"If you do not speak in terms that any man and woman can plainly understand...you will defeat your own efforts at rule. Subtle and mysterious words are no business of the people."
-Han Fei
What is the best in-depth history book providing a general overview of the Roman Empire?
I took a college course on Rome but the professor was only interested in Roman art (it was not a Roman art class) and our "textbook" was only 150 pages long. I need something meaty and deep. Recommendations?
i dont understand the obsession with the Roman Empire, the history of the Republic, expanding steadily for 200years and its transition is much more interesting, it also introduces you to roman thinking, way of life and values that slowly eroded during the empire, eventually leading to its downfall
>>3216951
Empires are just fascinating subjects for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being that there are no (formal) ones left.
That said, it would be awesome if I could find a history book that begins with the founding of Rome and continues through at least the fall of the Western Roman Empire, though any further than that and it becomes less of a Roman history book and enters into "history of civilization" territory
>>3216994
thatd be too long, thousands of pages probably

I'm an Assbaby. Explain to me why some people idolize the Wehrmacht but not necessarily the Nazi state.
The Wehrmacht were an extremely effective fighting force, often inflicting heavy casualties while holding their own (slight exception to US and British).
>>3216576
Because they're taken in by Nazi propaganda but don't want to admit to it so they focus on the military and not the ideology.
Also German uniforms and equipment have a cool aesthetic.
Becuase people read the false K:D ratios of the eastern front and think the Whermacht was some ubermensch killing machine. The Clean Whermacht Myth certainly helps as well.
