Why do Brits have an inferiority complex to them?

>>78519984
Anglos can never compare to master race

>>78519984
Germans also have an inferiority complex towards Britain, though.

>>78520015
This.

The Brits had to call in support from France, Russia, the US, not to mention 9001 colonies just to stand a chance against the German master race.

Despite the fact that Germany had been under crushing debt from losing the previous war and also having little to no colonial presence.
WHY MAKES GERMANS SUPERIOR

We don't like the idea of a dominant power on the continent.

We already have France, but France has earned our respect and can be reigned in when needed.

Germany has the potential to eclipse everyone by some distance but usually out of their own incompetence messes up.

Plus they're completely humourless, godless people.

I thought it was to us though? Every time they've got an achievements of theirs to report on, their newspapers are flooded with the sentence "look what we have and the french don't" or something to that effect.

From we see it, it's rather the Germans who have an inferiority complex, they constantly insult Brits and Americans, even on /int/, there are always an anti-Brit, anti-American thread made by a German.

>>78520015
>>78520100
Cringe

>>78520058
No they don't.

Germans know that if unrestrained, Germany could easily grow into a superpower and crush every major power in Europe.


But now Germany knows it can't do that through violence so instead they rule Europe through diplomacy (i.e the EU).

But of course the Brits have an inferiority complex which is largely why they chose to leave.

>>78520110
Actually we don't do that irl.
Normies love britain and America

>>78520106
I thought the no humor etc part was just a stereotype. Didn't know you guys take it serious

>>78520151
Germans had a massive inferiority complex towards Britain prior to 1945 and probably still have one today, at least in regards to history.

>>78520108
>>78520106
Everyone is well aware of the centuries old Anglo-French rivalry and friendship.

What is more interesting to me though is how brits seem to always be jealous of German accomplishments.

specifically how Germany can grow from a third world collection of kingdoms into the most elite fighting force in the world in just a matter of a couple decades.

Germans are able to do in 20 years what Brits needed 200.

>>78520195
Is that why Brits left the EU with their tails between their legs?

Even when they were in the EU, they opted out of Schengen and refused to be in the EEZ.

This just shows how great Anglo inferiority to superior Germanic people is.

>>78520207
Yes but Britain still did it far earlier, so what's your point?

>>78520195
Yes that's true. We stand up every morning thinking about what if we had a colonial empire. Fact.

>>78520207

Hmm..really makes you thunk.

I don't care about Germany and I don't know anyone who does either

>>78520240

>>78520248
No need to exaggerate, I wasn't implying the average German really gives a shit about their history.

>>78520254
Obviously I use the term third world very lightly in the context of Western Europe.

German kingdoms were fragmented and had no colonies. Unlike France and Britain which had global reach by the 1880s.

>>78520282
Anglos are Germanic but far too frankified

>>78520282
>Anglos ARE Germanic you muh heritage
That's like pretending France should also rank itself as germanic because there's some scraps of the population with a. Frankish lineage.

At best England is a mainly Celtic population, with interbreeding with angles, Jutes, and saxons and french from the mainland.

>>78520268
This.

Growing up here, the countries you care about are France, Spain and America.

France because it is next door. Spain because of the holidays. America because of media.

Honestly I didn't know shit about Germany until I was old enough to actually do some research out of curiosity.

>>78520335
Stop with the genetics autism, Germanic is a linguistic group.

>>78520294
>Unlike France and Britain which had global reach by the 1880s.
True, but I really doubt that Germany was severely hampered by being negated colonies. All the resources it required for an industrial revolution were already strewn about in the very mineral-rich territory they had, and they even boosted that when they grabbed Alsace-Moselle which had french industries there already.

Colonies were more about prestige and power-projection in the XXth century, and more a clientele than a resource factory.

>>78520339
>when Brits have to lie to themselves just to make themselves feel better

Let's not act like you didn't almost lose two wars + your sovereignty to Germany three times this past century.


Let's also not pretend that Germany didn't single handedly destroy your puny auto industry.

Germany is a better country in every way. And they did this without colonial bullshit.


Actually wait. Germany DID colonize. Except the bulk of their colonies were actually European unlike France and Britain which only picked on poverty stricken basket weaving Africans.

>>78520282
>Anglos ARE Germanic you muh heritage moron

>>78520362

How you failed to grasp this is beyond me.

>European unlike France and Britain which only picked on poverty stricken basket weaving Africans.
Yikes, american understanding of history.

>>78520391
There is no way you can convince me that Britain didn't extort unimaginable amounts of wealth from its colonies in Africa and Asia, specifically India.

>>78519984
They have this weird past obsession, kinda like poles, resulting in a massive dislike for entire groups of people.
I once read a British blog saying "everyone here still remembers the blitz".
I then wrote a comment
"You do realize that the only people who can remember that are dead or 80 + years old?"
The blogger replied
"It's in our tradition to remember the past like it happened to ourselves "

Pretty much a tradition of being butthurt.
And that's the problem with them, brits look to the past instead of looking to the future.

>>78520398
Wait a minute, are you saying that empires rise and fall? Are you saying that dominant nations are never dominant forever?

WOW you deserve a prize for this amazing discovery.

>>78520454

>insult brits
>cuckstamp runs to the defense line

>>78520484
I am absolutely acknowledging the decline of Britain and I am saying that Germans directly are responsible for it.

Wars are very expensive. Especially when they're on your home front.

Germany did the colonized peoples a huge favor by starting wars with France and Britain, effectively forcing them to withdraw from Africa and Asia by the end of WW2.

I mean look at the status of Europe today. Britain doesn't even have a major say in European affairs anymore. Everyone looks to Germany for guidance. Germany is the big boss in the room. And Britain is the salty loser jacking off in the corner, relishing on his past.

>>78520398
>Britain which only picked on poverty stricken basket weaving Africans.
Are you suggesting that building up nations like America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand from nothing is not something to be proud of?

>>78520528
Pretending that the only people the French and British have ever fought is Africans is asinine to this debate, and you know it. You're dismissing the hundreds of years spent by the French and British trying to wrestle power for themselves in Europe, hell even bringing it down to duels for who would lead the continent in wars like that of the Austrian war of succession or Thirty years' war.

France and Britain had colonies indeed, but only speaks for their success across Europe since to field a navy substantial enough for those endeavors meant you'd rid yourslef of threats at your border.

Germany has a good war record too, but you're fixating only on the XIX and XXth century, which of course is going to sway things in the way of the more recent superpower.

>>78520606
The only noteworthy country on that list is America, and that's largely due to the influx of German immigrants (who make up the largest ethnic group, by the way).

Australia and NZ are far too small in terms of population to constitute major achievements, especially when you consider the shitholes France and Britain left behind

>>78520603
Well yeah, modern Germany is more powerful and influential than modern Britain. But to imply this means Germany is inherently superior to Britain is ridiculous.

And no, I'm not saying that Britain is inherently superior to Germany either. I love both countries.

>>78520191
Don't take anything from someone on here as representative of a nation's people.

>>78520667
>largely due to the influx of German immigrants
German immigrants may have had a significant influence but most arrived during the latter half of the 19th Century and largely settled in rural regions. It's readily apparent that British/Irish Americans laid the foundation and did the majority of the nation building.

Fighting wars and establishing actual control over Europe are different things.

I realize now that I was being unfair to France because at least you guys had Napoleon (even though he was ethnically Italian, but then again, Hitler was Austrian).
But Britain on the other hand never controlled a single acre in Europe. All of their "colonial achievements" was when they fought against some geographically isolated shithole tribes in Australia, America, and Africa.

And of course I'm gonna focus on the 19th and 20th centuries, because that's when Germany became unified as a single force.

>>78520523
No one does that outside of 4chan, but apparently brits still like to make war rants irl.

Hm...

>>78520734
It's not a coincidence that it was after the influx of Germans did we see the US become a major player.


Remember:

Germans = Industry

>>78520789
>Britain on the other hand never controlled a single acre in Europe.
Your understanding of European history is clearly minimal.

>"colonial achievements"
The quotation marks aren't necessary. America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are great countries that were built from nothing. Please stop trying to say they aren't achievements.

I can't imagine how draining it must be to make thousands and thousands of posts on a mango board about a country I've never been to, one that has no appreciable impact on my life in any way.
If that's what having muh hurtage does to you then I suppose I should be glad I have none.

Rust Belt is the shithole of America, it's inhabited by Germans.

Midwest is the irrelevant part of America, it's inhabited by Germans.

Coincidence, I don't think so.

>>78520852
>Germans = Industry
Britain literally started the industrial revolution.

Also the US didn't become a major player until after WW1, well after the influx of Germans.

>>78520869
>Your understanding of European history is clearly very minimal

Cuckstamp, pls.

I was referring to Africa and India, which made up the bulk of British colonies

I love Germany but I think my dad is kinda racist towards Germans :/
He needs to get over it I think, he keeps banging on about how the Germans killed however many British troops and how his grandad died in the war and whatever. Correct me if I'm wrong but I just don't think the average German today still wants to go around killing Brits.

>>78520913
Actually I'd say that we became a major player in the 1890s since at that time the richest men in the world were all America.

And Britain may have started industry but Germans perfected it.

>>78520948
Even then Britain did a pretty good job given what they were dealing with.

Also stop trying to ignore the fact that you claimed (wrongly) that Britain "never controlled a single acre in Europe"

>>78520992
Wrong lad, they'd kill you and everyone you ever loved if you gave them a chance.
Once a Hun, always a Hun

>>78520998
Having rich people isn't enough to call yourself a major player. Maybe you had the potential to become one, but the fact is America was simply not a major player until after WW1.

>>78520789
>american brings up Napoleon as high-point of French dominance over Europe
Just like in my /int/ memes!

I'll try be brief, but Napoleon, though a lot of the decisions he willed in France were thrust on his person more than he having actual freedom of what to do, didn't do a lot of goof for France. I love the victories, I love the code civil, I love blowing back Austrians, but what did we get to show for it? Losing Savoy and an alliance wholly devoted to keeping France down for a century. Also Napoleon was Corsican, which makes him french.


The things you should be citing as France's peak in glory was Henry IV, Louis XIII and XIV's reigns who modeled France into of great superpowers and made it last.

>But Britain on the other hand never controlled a single acre in Europe.
Well Hamburg. Also, it's like you don't know that one of the sole reasons why France doesn't own all of Europe right now is because of English interventions with Malnorough.

Also, just acknowledge that you're breezing by France and Britisn's time of glory if you choose o only know things from the XIX and XX th century.

Lets be real Brits don't really care much for the Germans I'll give to the French that despite the couple of thousand years we do enjoy the nice things that France has to offer. Germany unfortunately lacks any of the benefits that a country like France brings so animosity/disinterest is about all there can be.

Maybe the added salt comes from us trying to fuck up the European project & the fact that your language and dealings is currently being subverted and replaced with English tongue.

>>78521369
>Britain is part of Europe but to say that they are more European than Germans who are actually on the fucking continent is pretty remarkable
I NEVER said that. All I said was that implying Germans are more native to Europe than Brits is silly.

>>78521361
You do care actually. I see dozens of brits everywhere (including irl) who rant over us like it's still 1940 and it's definitely not in the humorous way.

>>78521460
But Germans ARE more European for the simple fact that they are native to the continent whereas Brits are island dwellers

Sure they came from Europe's mainland but once an islander always an islander

>>78521502
If you believe the continent is """more European""" than the British Isles, so be it.

But when we're talking about simply "Europe" with no weightings applied to different regions, Brits and Germans are both equally European.

>>78521361
Also let's not pretend that English is spoken widely due to Britain.
Sure you had global reach but that's a long gone age.
The only reason English continues to be the worldwide language is because America took over.

It's kinda frustrating to know that so many brits hate us on a personal level because of past events and politics.
I always liked them and even wanted to move there one day.
Sad.

>>78521437

Britain has never maintained a large army because we are a Maritime country this puts us on bad footing for continental wars with France / Germany, especially the strong doctrine the Germans used as the start of war.

If anything I would say that the reason the Germans steamrolled WEurope is Frances issues considering they were just as equipped for land war as the Germans were and IMO they were a stronger force. I imagine a combination of poor strategy/leaders lead to what happened.

Sure you can say that the UK needs allies / colonies to back us up but that isn't an insult its just testament to the strengths of the UK which is.

- Wealth to buy support
- Wealth to support allies
- Strong Intelligence
- Strong diplomacy
- Global influence

Sure the krauts can take the entire continent and that isn't ideal for what the Brits want but as seen in (thx RAF) they never actually get to us and once they have the continent they are trapped and surrounded in an Anglo world.

>>78521721
I love how you pat yourself on the back for having been able to call in outside support

Yet you refuse to acknowledge how Germany was able to steamroll through Europe and nearly win with little outside help at all.
This also isn't accounting for the fact that Germany was just a pile of kingdoms without much power before WW1, and was a hyper inflated shithole right before WW2.

Yet Germany still managed to build itself up into a powerful force that challenged even the great European powers, who had centuries long head start to build colonies, wealth, industry, militaries, etc.

Honestly nobody ever gives Germans enough credit because we're so used to them being great.

But yet nearly a century later and here we are still congratulating the British because they managed to beat out a few Zulu tribes. Pfft.

>>78521692
I don't hate German people, and I don't believe anyone here does either.
Maybe a few very elderly people hold a bit of a grudge, but even then I doubt it's terribly deep.
A lot of young people are fascinated by anything from Europe, they were very put out over the referendum.

>>78521586
and I wonder why the US speaks English? lets be real though even without the US influence there are wide global array of countries that speak English.

- Large Array of Carribean
- Large Array of Africa
- Canada/AUS/NZ
- Ireland

and then places which utilise it such as India, Singapore. This comes from us not the US.

Additionally of course continuing legacies seen in the Commonwealth, Westminster system & Common law

>>78521928
>who had centuries long head start to build colonies, wealth, industry, militaries, etc.
I find it funny how you call it a "head start" as if they had some kind of artificial advantage that made them more successful. They were able to do it before Germany, don't try and make excuses for it.

And again, I'm not saying that Britain and France are better than Germany. I understand that there are a multitude of reasons for why they were able to create colonial empires while Germany couldn't. This is because unlike you, most people don't have an autistic black and white view of superiority and inferiority.

>>78522042
At the end of the day, all that matters is that Germany severely weakened France and Britain in spite of their lowly beginnings.

>>78522154
Good for them

>>78521949
But I heard your chavs, nationalists, football fans and some more still have a problem with us especially since brexit

>>78520398
They colonisé Africa too dumbass

>>78521928
Why of course, that is literally the model the Empire was built on.

If the German strategy of tard rage and taking over the continent actually worked then they would have won. I mean lots of have tried the French did a few times before as well and it didn't work then. The Germans are no more exceptional than the French obviously. We are still congratulating Britain because we won, the Germans lost that's why. le history winners meme. If you want the Germans to get a pat on the back maybe they should try putting together a plan that doesn't end up with them getting fucked.

The other reason Britain is lauded more than Germany is because we were superpower for 100 years before handing it over to the US and successfully ruled the largest empire in history.
1) I don't refuse to acknowledge the Germans rolling Europe, this isn't Britain's responsibility to stop, the only power to stop it is France.

2) The Germanic region has always been rich and strong, Prussia had been a good power for some time. Being able to build a global empire though especially for someone like Britain doesn't mean you can fight toe to toe with a land power. Germany has a huge logistical advantage on the continent vs someone like Britain. Of course people like Bismark was impressive and so was unification, that doesn't make them a "superior" group on Europe we all have our strengths.

>>78520789
Did you know that we needed 700 year to kicked England out of France , during the hundred war they controlled half of the French teritory

>>78522154
What kind of lowly beginnings is sitting at the heart of the continent on the largest pool of people and resources?

The German kingdoms were not weak they were wealthy and strong, they had legacy in Austro-Hungarian empire and the HRE.

Prussia was the predominant state and had been on the scene for a while.

For someone so adamantly pro-German you don't seem to give know much about their history.

>>78522193
He's being sarcastic/ironic, keep in mind that he is British, just sayin

>>78521721
I think that the fats that you could not maintain a big Armie was because the parliament was too scary of the king could take the power back ?

>>78521928
The hre has always been a major power in Europe since the middle age , It was not just some random country .

>>78522418
I don't think that was really a concern in more modern history.

It never made any sense for us to have a big army with naval dominance. UK has smaller population as it is.

>>78521949
Stop lying to him

>>78522373
I'm not being sarcastic, also football hooliganism and ultra culture is its own thing you have to bear in mind they're as likely to shank their own for being foreign as they are anyone else. There's a derby between my home town and a town across the river about five miles away that often ends with riot police and drunk chavs trying to mount the horses if the game even slightly doesn't go their way.

>>78522418
There is a historical distrust of the standing Army here, I think partly because of the conflict between the parliament and the crown, also because Armies and mercenaries were brought in to pacify the people during the religious conflicts.
It was one of the main fears (whether true or not) that caused Charles to lose his support with the people.

There really is no reason for an inferiority complex towards the brits. Germany didnt even exist as a unified nation for most of britains empire building time.
