Which Celtic tribe was the most successful?

>>1272829
The Irish, because they are the only ones that actually have their own country. Well, PART of their own country. The most profitable part is still held by Anglo-Normans.

>>1272829
Define success.

I would also say the Irish, the basis that they're the only ones still existing.

The Welsh did okay too.

Of course Celtic people genetically still exist, I'm British, I'm almost certainly heavily Celtic, but we're bastard german norman frenchmen

no more than scots, britons or welsh

STOP pol posting

The gauls held the largest unified land and had the richest cities, successfully defended the Rhine against the germanic tribes and sacked rome several times. One time some Gaulish mercenaries on the way to Sicily sacked rome just because they were in the area, they definitely were the great power in central europe and befitting you can say (inc romeaboo butthurt) Caesar main achievement is that he beat gaul

>>1272897
Definitely more, go to Ireland

>>1272901
And where are the gauls now?

>>1272829
None. They're all anglos now. Even in the independent "celtic" country nobody speaks the actual language, it's like it was a stranger thing. Kids from my country go to campsites in Ireland during summer to learn english.

>>1272847
*Soverign state. Both Scotland and Wales exist as countries.

Either way, Ireland's claim to relevancy stems from that it was conquered by Normans and brought under the crown of England. Scotland remains the greatest celtic nation, with the celtic tribes that helped formed England probably counting as the most succesful.

Ireland was never really conquered by the Normans and even the Norman lords in Ireland were only nominally pledged to the English king.

Plus the Norman period was probably when Ireland was least significant internationally. Not sure where you're getting the idea of it being their "claim to relevancy", haven't heard any historian ever say that/

>>1272912
and maybe you should visit highlands once

>>1272914
The premiere european power from 800 to 1830?

>>1272940
I said stems from; I'm saying that Ireland's main claim to international fame -- outside of books, both in the providing and writing sense -- comes from when it was brought under the English crown.

You could possibly say the same thing about Scotland, in that it's been at its most relevant in the UK, though I'd argue it was a fairly important minor player in European politics in a way Ireland never managed.

I lived there for a few months, they lack any unique culture other than excessive drinking and pointless nationalism. Anyone you meet who is cultivated turns out to be English.

no they aren't

>>1272986
It's a island off the coast and west of Britain. Irish people live there. They also got taken over by the British/English for awhile and after a revolution or two Ireland became independent, for the most part.nit also rains a lot there.

>>1274963
Are you retarded

Germans because they didn't die to the initial Roman Northern expansion?

Venetes

>>1274963
No
Bretons are not exactly Gauls. They came from Great Britain, but Brittany was already inhabited by Gaulish people.

Didn't the Picts manage to hold off the Romans?
I mean, I know the Romans also saw little worth in taking over their lands and so couldn't divert as many resources into it, but still.

Probably the Keltoi who gave their name to the whole race, and who are usually mis-named as "Gauls".

i'd say its claim to fame was preserving christianity after the collapse of the WRE and helping to reintroduce it back into the anglo-saxon and frankish kingdoms. it's next claim to fame is the irish famine and the success of irish americans, and finally the significance of the troubles as one of the last violent conflicts in western europe since wwii and the imperfect model of peacemaking that is the good friday deal. thats about it desu, the other stuff being famous irishmen such as the modernists or irish who obtained success in anglo culture like jonathan swift, oscar wilde, beckett and joyce
