He even renamed the Code Civil des Français the Code Napoléon after forcing his client states to adopt it. First of all to abandon the Frenchness of the Code Civil (in other words to make it universal) and secondly to copy the tradition of Roman emperors to name their legal codices after themselves.

A pity, after 1453 Napoléon was the closest we got to Rome Reborn.

That's a whole lotta simplification right there. The Paris costumary law, also partly inspired by the romanocanonical procedure contributed most to the material law aspect of his Code Napoléon. Justinian's Code was overall a pretty meagre document, and it's only after centuries of reception by civilist lawyers, alongside the Digests that it approached anything usable or workable.

So multiple kingdoms, peoples, realms are all united under a man that is recognized as an Emperor by the political landscape. That is, in my experience, the very definition of an Empire.

By 1806 the emperors hadn't been crowned by the pope for generations, and as far back as the 11th century the pope and emperor were nearly constantly in conflict.

>I'll give you that after Barbarossa
And before it. Most of the territory was never held by Rome, Germanic traditions like trial by combat held sway in the region for generations and their only claim to Romanness was being held by Charlemagne... himself not even a Roman... who was born in modern day Liège... and ruled from Paris until he moved his court to Aachen out of convenience. We wuz imperium 'n shiet tho.

>That is, in my experience, the very definition of an Empire.
An empire in name only, hence the quotation marks. Most members of the Empire (there aren't enough quotation marks in the world so I'm not even going to bother anymore) spent most of their time waging war on eachother, more often than not with outside help (such as Austria and Prussia seeking outside help against eachother, Bavaria having had close ties to Louis XIV of France etc.).

how about using Roman institutions, Roman language, Roman law (oh no, trial by combat invalidates that!) and OWNING ROME.

An Empire isn't defined by internal peace. It's a group of nations or peoples ruled over or governed by an Emperor. And for most of it's existance, that's what happened in the HRE

The Codex Iuris Civilis was significant mostly because it contained much of the roman (and other) laws edicts and customs (like the lex rhodia) alongside with the Digesta in a single volume, it contained very little original legislation.
It became very important to modern law first when the commentators and glossators in Italy started hammering it out and then when the Germans developed a huge boner for roman law( see the lovely Reichskammergerichtsordnung) and the Pandectists continued to masturbate all over it.

Notice that I mentioned multiple preceding generations. In fact, Charles V was the last emperor to be crowned by the pope in 1530.

You mean past the extent that Latin was the lingua Franca of Western Europe until about 1515?

Implemented across Western Europe, and in territories actually held by the Roman Empire to a much greater extent.

So many people held Rome, and as early as 1181 the HRE no longer held Rome and never held it since.

It is however defined by authority. Their claim to Romanness is about as valid as Felipe VI of Spain's claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

D. Heirbaut en M.E. Storme, "The Historical Evolution of European Private Law" in C. Twigg-Flessner (ed.), The Cambridge Companion to European Union Private Law, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press"
and
T. Duve, "European Legal History: Concepts, Methods, Challenges" in T. Duve (ed.), Entanglements in Legal History: Conceptual Approaches, 2014, 29-66"

That actually sped up the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire by spending massive amounts of resources the Eastern Roman Empire didn't have on taking lands that would quickly fall to invaders like the Lombards. There is a reason the Muslims roflstomped the Eastern Roman Empire and the Sassanid Empire soon after they united the Arabian peninsula.

You seem to be misunderstanding the legacy of Rome.

>Roman Empire split in two, now Eastern and Western empires
>Western Empire dies
>Charlemagne becomes emperor of the successor state to the WRE and eventually a new successor is formed from the Holy Roman Empire
>Eastern Roman Empire collapses
>Due to orthodox Christianity and intermarriage with the Eastern Roman Empire, Russia claims to be the successor of the ERE, the Ottoman Empire claims the same via both right of conquest and intermarriage.
So at this point we have three Roman Empires, Holy, Ottoman, and Russian
>Holy Roman Empire collapses, Austrian Empire claims to be the de facto successor to the Roman Empire
>German empire forms claims to be the successor of the Holy Roman Empire

So by WW1 we had four Roman Empires, the Ottoman Empire, German 'Empire', Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Russian Empire. Of course all four collapsed during or soon after WW1 leaving Rome with no true successor state although Italy tried to claim that position to some extent.

What is odd is how Western and non-Western definitions of an Emperor were so different. Outside of Europe an Emperor ruled over a vast area of land or an entire people. So the Persian Emperor ruled over Persia, the Japanese Emperor ruled over Japan, etc. However, Europe which never has such strong cultural lines due to so many rivers and such a small area empires rarely ruled over a definitive area or a single group of people. Thus European empires all claim descent from Rome, or in the case of the Napoleons were self crowned. Even Britain was never truly an empire as the ruler of Britain was still only a king or queen of Britain at any point, although they were also the emperor or empress of India. Same thing with Italy, Victor Emmanuel III was still only king of Italy even after he was proclaimed Emperor of Ethiopia.
>>
>>46308638
>What is odd is how Western and non-Western definitions of an Emperor were so different.
I'd say it's a Western mistake to use the Western label of emperor to apply to whatever label other civilizations used. For example, the Persians referred to their own "emperor" as Shahanshah, or King of Kings. As Westerners we only call them emperor because that's the only word we have for "king bigger than king", with the problem being that historically that term is so closely tied to Rome and its pretenders.

That's because we didn't actually "translate" the titles of Eastern rulers, but instead chose to honor them with the same title our Roman senpai used. The actual definition of the Eastern titles would be quite different. The Japanese word for Emperor, for example, is probably more closely translated as "heavenly sovereign", but we call him an Emperor because that's a title in our culture that has prestige and importance behind it.

M-Muh Byzantiums though
I guess Turks are generally good guys, it's probably the most modern country in the Islamic world and a popular vacation destination
Their European diaspora does give them a bad name though, but it's unfair to judge an entire people by only looking at the worst of the worst

Hi Hans!

>>46317705
To be fair, that power vacuum mostly resulted from the sudden collapse of the French and British empires. The Ottomans actually dindu nuffin.

Yeah I thought the same when I was twelve, then I studied history.

Also:
the Franks were a segment of the germanians that migrated into western Europe.
The Holy Roman Empire uniting into one nation scared the shit out of Europe.
The rest of Europe were eager to take down a threat to their power.
Germany was winning WWI, their armies were dominating, their U-boats were unrivaled, they had dominated the sea. They won the war.
Then came the Balflour declaration getting American into the war because the Jews literally control our politicians, the Rothschild's especially
Hitler comes along in the midst of the great depression, literally turns everything around and makes the nation rich again. Jewish decadence, and Impressionist art is gone and Germany is leading in science and culture.
Then the Jewish controlled media takes over American interest, and greed over for the pacific American colonies.

This is literally the most out of nowhere obvious /pol/ posting I have seen so far on /tg/. Don't even try to deny it because you didn't even try to hide it.

First of all, no, krauts weren't dominating the seas, even with a positive KDR at the Battle of Jutland, the Royal navy was still the dominant force in the ocean purely by merit of its size. Jutland was a gamble by the German navy to figh them piece meal, and their plan failed, further more, the Germans were tiring of war as much as the Brits and French and Germany was suffering internally. It was a stalemate and the burgers merely added more weight to tip the scales in one side, otherwise it would probably have just ended like the Korean war. Should have just left Lusitania alone Fritz.

Then comes WW2 where the nips are violently expanding in every direction causing the burgers to cut their oil supply, nips then attack allied colonies whom the Americans already have good relations with and bomb Pearl Harbour, and just to make sure the Americans wouldn't have to make any tough calls, Hitler declares war on them too. Never mind that he had been warring a friend of the US and also had his subs sinking American ships shipping supplies to the Bongs. Never mind all this, it's obviously the kikes' fault.

True that, just adding two more points:
1. By the time the Americans got involved in WW1 the Germans had been pushed almost entirely out of France, both of their allies had already collapsed and their occupation of Ukraine kept a lot of German manpower occupied. Meanwhile the Entente could draw on nearly unlimited manpower (albeit highly untrained and underequipped) from the colonies. The war had already swung in the Entente's favor (if Von Moltke is to be believed, it had already done so after the Miracle of the Marne).

2. You forgot the biggest counterargument to the "Jews forced America into the war because they were jealous of Germany" canard: nobody forced Hitler to wage war. In fact, the Entente kept appeasing him until Poland. If he had stopped just short of Poland, Hitler would be remembered as a gutsy leader who took risks but ended up making Germany stronger and larger than ever before. Instead he's known as the man who started the bloodiest war the world has ever seen purely because of "muh Lebensraum".

And then there's the fact that "Jewish manipulated" America was the one nation that saved Germany from being disbanded after both world wars. The Versailles Treaty we know today was a very toned down version of what the French initially wanted (cession of the Rhineland, splitting up the rest of Germany according to pre-Bismarck borders), mostly due to Wilson's intervention.
