Entities like the Holy Roman Empire are cool because you have entities within entities that preserve local culture and tradition. (Kingdom of Germany within the HRE, Duchy of Saxony within that).
An empire that overwhelms and suppress' locals (State of the Teutonic Order and the Old Prussians for example) suck.

what about empires whose raison d'etre ended up being the elevation and preservation of cultures and traditions that would otherwise struggle to survive in the age of the nation-state?

Ahh good old times when Bohemia and Moravia accounted for 60 % of entire industry of Austria-Hungary what makes me mad as Czech how incompetent was Austro-Hungary, Bismarck should have annexed us during Austro - Prussian war honestly.

>>2146233
bohemia and moravia coincidentally had shitloads of iron and coal, much like the rhineland, which was the industrial center of germany

if your argument is that the rest of the empire needed to "pull its weight" industrially, it was getting towards doing that during the 1890s

but you guys ended up annexed by germany anyway so that must have ended well :^)

>>2146256
No I don't care about pulling their weight just how incompetent was Austria-Hungary as a state it just didn't two times work good example is WW1 I mean compared to Germans so bad not gonna lie I really like Bismarck and how he led Germany only if he would get rid of Kaisers and all that stuff which dragged germany down

But instead you actually speak English, the most useful language of all : ^ )
