That's your fault, every country that was ruled by the Roman Empire and wasn't completely raped by Germans afterwards is lazy as fuck.

That's because of absolutist rule while places as England and France had revolutions which decreased the power of monarchs.

Also just go to Spain, every city has dozens of grandiose monuments, they robbed the Americas blind and wasted it on stupid stuff like that.

Lmfao, I disagree.

>>74535711
Spaniards were basically the russians today, they just based their strenght on their army, pillaged americas and waged war all over europe, never developed commerce or a real economy, because they considered commerce for pleb(= they were lazy )

lolno

>>74535885
All Spanish cities I've been to had ridiculous cathedrals and massive monuments and the like.

However I'm sure the tourist income that Spain gets nowadays has been enough to pay that back. The more important argument is the persistence of absolutism in Spain. Spain needed a Glorious Revolution. Should have asked us for a King like England did.

what cities? what monuments? and cathedrals were made with donatives during a long period, kings didn't spend shit on irrelevant cities, they focused on Madrid (the capital) and Seville (they had the monopoly to trade with America)

>cathedrals

It's funny because you find stuff like Málaga's cathedral, which lacks a tower because Spain spend the money that was supposed to fund it in the American War of Independence

>Spain needed a Glorious Revolution.
That's true, though.

>>74536132
The cities I've been to are Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Granada, Toledo and Valencia. Might have forgotten others.

Might be confirmation bias then. I was in Madrid yesterday and I just wondered how much money went in all those massive cathedrals and statues and whatnot.

>>74536276
Toledo was the former capital.
Barcelona started growing after losing America.
Madrid is the capital so for obvious reasons the kings spent a shittong of money but the Cathedral of La Almudena is pretty new and wasn't made using America's gold.
Seville, already explained why.
Granada, well, it has a lot of muslim sites and it was a very important city for the symbolism it has.
Valencia, never been there but they spent a lot of money during the last decades to the point they are infamous for having a big debt because of that.

>>74536169

Southern Italy on the other hand had nothing

Actually the movement of international trade from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic was what killed southern Italy. It's a known conflict that happened in the crowns of Spain. America was given to the Crown of Castile because the Crown of Aragon had all the Mediterranean for themselves. Then no more than a century later the trade volume shifted and they even began to lose their territories around.
