Let's settle this once and for all, /pol/. Which country/countries are the true descendants of Rome. I'd probably have to go with France, especially under Napoleon.
inb4 Romania
Austria. Only legitimate (West) Roman emperor.
>>139832510
Finland is the true heir to the roman empire.
>>139832510
Russia is the best spiritual successor to rome
>unifys a bunch of small tsardoms in a shitty backwater part of the world
>gets big
>beats the shit out of tribals
>gets bigger
>feels content to beat up its previously strong european neighbors because they had expanded enough
>get bigger through taking over europeans now
>collapses from the inside, then the outside
only problem is that there isn't a well defined "pax romana" period in russian history
>>139832510
There is no true descendant of Rome after the 4th crusade.
>>139832863
>4th crusade
best crusade ever desu
>>139832863
Not literal descendants. I'm talking more in terms of spiritual and ideological successors.
>>139832863
4th crusade best crusade

Unironically I think Americans. They based their initial republic on the roman republic, have a similar will to power. And are now undergoing all the degeneracy that the romans did.
Commercialism, social destruction, greed, corruption, decadence, ect
>>139833242
Only difference is the Americans have fucked themselves far quicker than the romans, but that is probably because of technology
>>139832510
>E.Roman Empire
>Holy Roman Empire
>Ottoman Empire
>Russian Tsardom
>France under Napoleon
and Rome died with Napoleon.
3rd reich was not a successor to Rome and Hitler was hardly Napoleon.
Rome no longer exists.
Truth be told, Europe would be in better shape if Napoleon won.

>No latin population
>No roman language
>Not even roman inspired laws

But Rome itself was different spiritually and ideologically through ages. I suppose you mean the Rome on its prime, maybe the British empire could be romes successor when it existed.
>>139832510
France under Napeolon destroyed Europe and got BTFO by niggers
>>139833408
so... why did the pope give us the emperor title for for than 500 years then?
>>139832510
Italy. Stop trying to steal other peoples history.
>>139832697
>Austria. Only legitimate (West) Roman emperor.
Agree. The Austrian Empire was vital to white European as wall against inferior browns
>>139833458
>>139833458
>maybe the British empire

>>139833690
Modern day Italy was PART of the Roman Empire. It wasn't THE Roman Empire. Stupid burger nigger.
