which historical figures do you most admire or are inspired by?
>>17317167A true American hero who saved foreign policy
>>17317167I am inspired by the greatest.>Alexander>Caesar>Augustus>Genghis Khan (and maybe his successor)>Napoleon>HitlerI strive to be the next one.But there are many others who inspire me, like your picrel.
>>17317167Other than the obvious Alexander, Caesar, Hitler etc. I also admire Philip II of Macedon quite a lot. He took a literal nothing semi-barbarian shithole that just had their king killed, half of their already shitty army destroyed, and within a single generation transformed transformed Macedon into a wealthy, prosperous kingdom, revolutionized ancient warfare completely (from sieges, to material, to field tactics, to logistics etc.) and unified Greece via becoming her Hegemon. A true genius warrior-king.
>>17317170Seconding>>17317187>Other than the obvious HitlerWhat the fuck is wrong with you?
>>17317167Literally just a lucky bastard. And it's funny how American retards always pick the same guys, including fucking Hitler (lol). It's never the people that actually made Germany great (like Otto the Great - actually great, not like Frederick the Faggot).
>>17317167
>>17317361>nawww broo...he just got lucky... fighting wars for a decade straight. bro.Reminder that Germany would still be statelets half of them under French vassalage or Austrian possession if Frederick the Great never did what he had to do
>>17317391What's the difference between a Germany unified by Prussia versus one unified by Austria. Both were the leading German states
>>17317167Sulla is a big one.But generally I don't think of myself as a great leader, I prefer thinking of myself as a good second in command or general.Like Subutai, Agrippa, Bismarck or Bernadotte (from army private to king in a different country!)
>>17317401Austria never cared for getting close control of the German states, it was too preoccupied with its multinational holdings and dynastic machinations.
>>17317361>Otto the Great - actually great,So much seethe instead of correct answers.
>>17317391https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_of_the_House_of_Brandenburg
Best girl Olga of Kiev.
>>17317167I am inspired by tragic heroes like majorian, belisarus, and stilicho
>>17317493More like a crazy cunt. Not saying her wrath wasn't warranted mind you, but still....
>>17317401Austria was never going to unify Germany as it would weaken their grip on Hungary and the Slavic territories for a tenuous control over the rest of Germany.
>>17317493>Bullying the mentally disableFool me once shame on you, fool me five times, shame on you for taking advantage of the mentally disabled.
>>17317167Dirlewanger
>>17317497>can't even see himself as a winner in his fantasieslol

>>17317391it would be in much better state then
>>17317481The miracle of the House of Brandenburg may have been in large part informed by the knowledge the Russians and Austrians had of Frederick's genius, and they were above all the ones who knew from their experiences at Hohenfriedberg, Soor, Rossbach, Leuthen, Prague, and the countless campaigns they fought against him.
>>17317726The thing people forget about her was that aside from the subjugation of the Drevlians she was actually a peaceful and compassionate ruler. She did a lot for religious freedoms and improving relations between the Christian and pagan populations among other things. She was never some psycho Elizabeth Bathory type bitch, just someone pushed to the limit one time.>>17317804They just didn't know yanderes were a thing back then
>>17317179>I strive to be the next one.There's a dime dozen of you useless faggots and all of you end up as retarded vaccinated, narcissistic retards sitting in the offices like bugmen.
>>17317167Offa of Mercia
>"Sir, there is no need to pity me. I die as a man of honour ought, doing my duty; but I pity you, because you are fighting against your king, your country, and your oath."
Telling a bunch of liberal politicians that all their talking is meaningless, and that strength of arms is the ultimate expression of diplomacy is extremely based.
>>17317167George Washington and Teddy Roosevelt
Sulla. I also admire Marius, but Sulla was the one who ultimately outplayed and crushed him.>>17319117Also this, there probably hasn't been a leader as good as Bismarck in Europe since he died.
Constantine
>>17319520>I admire the guy who sent Rome on the path to despotismCan you explain why?
>>17319532What was wrong with what he did, exactly?
>>17319536>treats Rome like a province by sending legions against it>introduces proscription, aka "you don't like me? Then die lol"-style purges (incidentally Julius Caesar himself was targeted in this but escaped through nepotism)>reduces plebeian power, which would have long-lasting effects on stability in Rome (leading to Senate oligarchy and ultimately further dictatorship into empire)>tries to paper over it all at the end like this whole civil war into despotism thing wouldn't happen again (hint: it did)
>>17317167For the love of god don't emulate Fredrick, he got lucky. Any one who larps as him will get their nation destroyed.
>>17319549All of this sounds based to me, desu
>>17319644Emulating Frederick really depends on what kind of war and country you are leading. If its a shithole with a glorified duchy and inferior population like Prussia, then it may seem self destructive. But besides that he was still a model leader.>During the Seven Years' war Frederick would have no Jewish soldiers in his army; a yearly tax was paid instead.>Invited Euler to move to Berlin to do important math shit for 25 years>Introducing the potato to Prussia, which put an end to many famines.>forced jews to buy significant amounts of porcelain upon marriages, births, and house purchases.>In his Political Testament of 1752 he described the Jews as the most dangerous of all sects.Anyways, a country would only be so lucky to have a person like Gustavus, Prince Eugene, or Frederick, and if krauts are taught to cast him aside because they don't want to gamble their life on greatness then the germans deserve to be destroyed in another 30 Years War
