two questions.

what killed the holy roman empire?

what killed the >holy >roman >empire meme?
>>
>>1727496
Napoléon
(you)
>>
napoleon and the prussian austrian rivalry

as well as the world getting bigger for Europeans
>>
Oh fuck. I cant stop laughing.
>Holy
>Roman
>empire

Holy shit what a joke this is too good.
>>
30 year war de facto
Napoleon de jure
>>
>>1727576
They were really big into Christianity so you could say they were holy

and they were quite the empire those few moments in history when they got their shit together

Not Roman though
>>
>>1727576
First day here?
>>
>>1727496
To paraphrase Biermann, The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor roman nor an empire.
>>
The Popes who through their lust for power and immerse corruption destroyed the authority of the emperors and spread heresy through his realms.

Stupid faggots overusing it.
>>
>>1727594
More like The Emperors lust for power and immerse corruption spread heresy through the realms only to be stopped by the popes.

If not for the papacy you would already be speaking German they were the only ones that kept them at bay in the Middle ages. It was no surprise that when their power was completely obliterated that the world wars came about.
>>
>>1727667
I am assuming you are just a baiting cathocuck but if it was the HRE's lust for power that caused that shit, why then did the amount of heresies grow bigger and bigger as the Pope's power grew larger and the Emperor's faded? And why was two of the absolutely worst in independent France and de facto independent Bohemia?
>>
>>1727687
you are the baiting Krautcuck. It was the Germans that destroyed the church with their reformation, that just up and sacked Rome without batting an eyelid. All throughout France was one of the only fuckers that stayed in the Church while half of your "Holy" Roman Empire committed nothing but heresies.
>>
>>1727729
So France was staying loyal to the pope in Rome when they allied with the Ottomans and funded Sweden ((Sweden was pretty much dependent on those funds for its war effort by the way)) to attack their catholic neighbors? Suppose that's just ideal behavior by people who elect the a Borgia as pope tho.
>>
>>1727745
Also, the Frenchies did all that while their foreign policy was decided by a Cardinal.
>>
>>1727745
more to attack the fuckers that Sacked their fucking city.

>Germans dindu nuffin!
>>
>>1727753
>Pope enter a worldly conflict
>Face worldly consequences
The problem with that is?
>>
>>1727780
>France face worldly conflict
>Take worldly consequences
The problem with that is?
Politics aren't intereseted by religions even a cardinal understood that
>>
Napoleon was the corporeal force that transformed Voltaire's wit into a military force aimed at the Blasphemous German Agglomeration.
>>
Literally just Napoopoo
Literally just overextension
>>
>>1727496
Proddy German princes elected a figurehead

Making it neither holy nor Roman not an empire

>leftists claim to love multiculturalism and diversity
>hate the most multicultural and diverse political entity that ever existed in Europe

Regarding your question, the Holy Roman Empire was killed by the rationalism and universalism that were popular during the Age of Enlightenment. They couldn't possible conceive of a realm based on tradition, hierarchy and local liberties instead of "muh reason" and "muh freedom" which was abstract and impersonal, therefore useless. So they thought it was a joke.

The real joke, of course, is that the countries that tried to adopt Voltaire's rationalism ended up either being failures (like Jacobin France) or terrible tyrannies (like the Soviet Union).

Meanwhile the HRE lasted a thousand years and prospered for most of the time, being always most wealthy and prosperous than other European countries.

>>1728327
Yeah all those hippy leftists and their hate for the HRE.

Why must you talk out of your ass on an anonymous image board?
>>
>>1728327
pretty sure between the HRE and the papacy the leftist prefer the former

since they are a secular entity.
