Did you mean "gets civilized by the west"?
Germanics were technologically inferior to even their Celtic brothers. Not to mention the Rome. They had bad farming, even Proto-Slavs were better at it than them.

oh you mean like developing all the best industrial and agricultural technology for 300 years, and inventing international trade ports, iron ships, trains, vaccines, the lightbulb, the telephone and the fucking internet itself.
All while inventing Australia, America, Canada and New Zealand and modernising India.
What was germany doing through all this? Oh yeah, Losing wars.

I'm trying to get into early German philosophy, mainly before 300 AD.
Anyone got recommendations?
>>3094406
Perhaps there can only be German philosophers when there's a German nation...
Read up on Germans and Germanics and then come back to /his/, please.

>Italy: Spreads Christianity via the Catholic Church, contributes to philosophy, architecture, art and science with the renaissance
>Britain: Spreads civilisation to quarter of the planet, industrial revolution, contributes a great deal to the natural sciences
>Germany: Produces a wide array of philosophers, produces most of the great composers, rich military tradition (until 1945)
>POWER GAP
>France: Introduces anarchy to Europe via the massacre known as the French revolution, produces a bunch of nihilistic post-modern philosophers

France was the founding father of Europe after Roman times.
It's the oldest catholic country in Europe.

They gave America lots of kultur.
Fairy tales, Christmas traditions, phrases and (I suspect) traditional Midwestern cuisine.
Tried doing the whole labor/socialism thing here too, but it was no match for Anglo liberalism.

Although the ground work of computing technology was developed in Britain during the second world war, Alan Turing's contribution to the field, as an example, were immense.

When it comes to computers and the internet, a shit ton on of nations contributed, you can't say just one nation invented it

Did Germany receive culture from non-german sources?
Then no, Germany did not "give the west" culture.

Germanics =/= Germans.
The Crusaders that sacked Constantinople weren't German (or only partly, not led by Germans).
Luther didn't start any war, other European powers and German rulers did.
Germany bears a lot of responsibility for WW1, but not solely.
Yes, the Nazis were bad.
Yes, Merkel is bad, but 65% of Germans disagree with the decision.
