Why didnt Europe just become a great fucking empire?
It was for a few hundred years
The project was cancelled though due to too many immigrants
Principate Rome, Charlemagne, Karl V, Napoleon and Hitler tried it, but the eternal Anglo didn't let them.
To many alphamales with little dick complex,
>muh state is better than yours, must compete whaah
Little baby men competing with eachother, the ottomans and the chinese knew what was up.

TOO MANY NATURAL BORDERS LEAD TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CULTURES BEING FORMED. PEOPLE WERE JUST TOO DIFFERENT

Because empires are asiatic garbage for plebs and slaves.
Everyone knows city-state republics are are a sophistication only the wise western man could have devised.

That's called a chimpout, not an empire. Besides, the vast majority of regions taken in campaigns never left military administration. And even then, Nazi Germany is only historically relevant to the decline of european militarism and race relations concerning jews, not great empires. An actual example would be the USSR, or Rome.
