      And they were all inbred. History is a fucking joke. we let a family that likes to “keep it in the bloodline” rule the world for hundreds of years. Abd then banished them to alabama i guess

      Meanwhile the Valois feeling a bit sandwiched, thinking that it might be a good idea to become bff with the Ottomans

      “ruled most of Europe”
      France having more people than their European and American holdings combined:

      Maybe I am wrong but the empire on which the sun never set was the one of his son Phillip II, because he ruled over the Philippines.

      The sentence was actually made by Philip II, son of Charles V, after the conquest of the Philippines (which bear his name btw)

      In my personal opinion the Spanish Empire missed an oportunity of creating a mega-Empire in the entirety of the Américas, from Alaska to Antártica, encompassing a wide range of climates and including the most fertile and massive river basins in a temperate climate, with navigable rivers: Rio de la Plata and Mississippi.

      The mentality was different back then, just having left the Middle Ages, and a proper colonization program wouldn’t fully develop from the end of the XVIII century onwards, when the improvements in boat transportation, population surpluses in the European countries, and the steel plough that allowed to farm in the prairies, permitted the colonization of the „new nations“ outside Europe, of which the USA, Britan and Argentina (temporarily, then failed) benefited the most.

      An Spanish Empire in the Americas, with a base in Europe in Europe (Spain itself) and populated by a massive influx of europeans, with the huge abundance of resources of two continents, would have the definitive superpower.

      A missed oportunity.
