Why is France such a cultural heritagelet? I would have assume that from their history they would at least be top 2. Why does France have the reputation of being sophisticated and full of monuments when they can't even beat Spain?

Nobody cares, sage.

It was done by the UNESCO. I trust them more than I would trust any autist Frogaboo from /his/

Holy shit look at the UK. Behind Mexico and poo in loos, absolute kek

The UK destroyed lots of their cultural heritage during the industrial revolution. That is why most cities are god awful there.
>>
>Iraq not even on the graph
guess they are updated

>>2490775
Because UN focusses on ancient monuments, while France's cultural glory period was in the modern era, let's say 1600 until 1914.

Italy and Spain have a lot of monuments from that era. While Iran is full of ancient crap. Literally.
>>
>>2490835

Ancient might not be the best word, but I'm just saying these lists favours the older monuments. That might be an answer to OP's question.

Most UNESCO in Spain is quite old:

Yeah, the UK is way ahead of the IS regarding the destruction of cultural heritage

Was browsing the UNESCO website.

Apparently this is considered world heritage in France.

Is this chart an objective way to measure greatness?
>>
>>2490860
To be fair it is part of a collection of buildings by le Corbusier, most of which are not as much an eye sore.

That's not surprising. France is extremely urbanized and modern and they keep destroying their old churches to make room for more mosques: http://shoebat.com/2016/08/17/french-government-has-destroyed-33-churches-in-the-last-two-decades-while-at-the-same-time-built-1000-mosques-european-people-stop-cutting-your-own-wrists-and-start-fighting/

They're only more relevant in tourism because of the world's biggest meme; Paris, which is a shithole full of niggers and mudslimes with a stupid steel tower as it's main attraction.
>>
>>2490896
I don't but I do dislike that building in particular and I'm not fond of le Corbusier either.
>>
>>2490832
Giddings, more like 900 to present. France was the shit in the Middle Ages.

I can tell from this post that you are in no way consumed by excruciating anal pain.

UNESCO heritage sites are not all of the same value, you can't rightly rank nations just by number of sites.
If Italy submits "venetian villas" as a site proposal, that covers about a hundred manors of very high artistic value, but it's only one site.
If Italy submits each roman church separately as a site proposal, every church will be its own site.
By your chart the two types of sites are the same, but if you're aiming to quantify the cultural heritage of a nation, they obviously aren't.
>>
>>2490810
you know the rest of Europe had an industrial revolution right?
>>
>>2491068
Several sites in Italy are basically "the entirety of the city center" because otherwise it would have too many sites.
>>
>>2491123
And because they're apparently much easier to manage that way (don't ask me how, it's just the spiel I hear when they agglomerate sites). Compare to most third world countries, where a site is usually a single ruin or building.
That chart is literally fucking worthless.

Most of them are bretty gud, but I think there are some important Roman ruins missing even.

>deporting the native french population
what's funny is that the maghrebs are the once actually speaking out against the mass-migration by sub-saharans

No country experienced the population growth of Britain.

>>2491111
yes and no.

france and spain for example never industrialised to the same extent, remaining largely agrarian
