How come this tiny piece of land managed to be independent

>>2879231
Because it was ""independent"".

Because real life isn't EU4

>>2879242

Because of magic potions.

- Excellent cavalry tactics with javelins that the Bretons learned from the Alans who settled Armorica
- Good terrain to launch guerrilla warfare; akin to their Brythonic cousins in Wales
- Franks had other fish to fry like the Saxons, Lombards, and other opponents at the frontier. Why bother to subjugate an unruly people close to your capital when you can leave them alone in peace?
- The inherent weakness of the post-Charlemagne kingdoms. The counties and duchies of West Francia were more powerful than the king in Paris. Normandy, Flanders, Anjou, and of course Brittany could afford to pay lipservice to a sovereign who barely had enough land to sustain a household and troops against his vassals.

Because paradox can't design games for shit
They were an evolved Celtic identity and had a long history of dependence, think about why Venice wasn't easily sacked by other maritime powers or just rich emperors.

Against which France? Merovingian, I wouldn't know a speck of how they staved off Clovis and Charlemagne, but in regards to Capetian France, what were taught in school here for how they warded French ambitions away from them is that they never did anything that would bother us.

They were valuable allies in defeating the English in the Hundred years' war, shouldering where the French were bombarding the English with artillery by shock cavalry charges that would capitulate the enemy, and were what the English dreaded at Patay and Castillon, and for that they were rewarded with semi-independence so long as they never skirted outside what the French king envisioned for them. IIRC, it was only when Anne of Britanny, whereabouts in the XVth century, began drawing English and Austrian suitors to herself that the French kings stepped in to wed her to them (Louis XII, but again hazy for me), and the Franco-Briton bond was again strengthened when the daughter of Anne and Louis married the French heir to the throne.

As for resisting "cultural assimilation", that's from it being a rain-drenched rock no one thought to travel to before the XXth century when it became a holiday-destination for Parisians.

You're a cucked mongrel race

It's no wonder that we killed so many of you

Now go gag on negroe dick

>>2880019
Oh then that explains it then. But yah, Britanny's history is really only one of trying to get out of other's people way until they couldn't.

>>2880060
Trust me, if you had seen her on the presidential debate like the French did, you would've wanted nothing to do with her. And her being a "le kewl nationalist who wants to kick out arabs" are massively overblown, when these days she amounts is a socialist who would've kicked out ten muslims out at most.

Though, yes Britanny's election choices are usually pretty fucking appaling.

>>2880186
Rooh, je suis repenti maintenant. En Marche!

Je l'ai que affectionné parce qu'il voulait faire renaître la droite profondément ancré vers la droite, et pas celle qui baigne dans le milieux. Donc au final ce qu'on aura si Macron vient à incarner la gauche libérale et LR une droite encore plus poussé à droite.

Holy shit.
Recently I download Victoria 2, but it not was what I expected.

You have some recomendations?

>>2880276
Are you fucking retarded or just pretending?

>>2880218
Why not En Marche since it's a right-wing government they're helming all but in name?

If LREM, then the left in France is destroyed for fifty years, while the right chugs on strong.
