Why were Romans so unlucky with the germans?
Why did germans evolve sooo slow?

I think Germanicus (Rest in Elysium) cried during the WW2 seeing how cool were the germans of those times and how ugly were the ones he had to fight back then.

PD: This was the dream of Arminius, an independent but Romanized Germania. I wonder if his Germania would have had as language Latin or a German Romance.

What If pre-1867 Habsburgs empire have officially speak romance-based pidgin Danube Latin (revival medieval system of Mediterranean Lingua Franca)?
>>
The romans in their later years got too complacent and didn't take border security as security,and if they did they used foreigners for it ironically.

Foederati, which became Roman citizens thanks to the Constitutio Antoniniana.

Alaric, best example of foederati, saw himself as a Roman and demmanded that people called him FLAVIVS ALARICVS instead of just Alaricus / Alariks.

I never understood why the Habsburgs despite being so fanatically ROMAN catholic, never were fanatically about the ROMANIZATION of the Holy ROMAN Empire.

There was a chance that now Germany and Austria would be speaking Spanish or a germanised Spanish since Ferdinand (Fernando) I, brother of Charles I, had as mother language Castilian Spanish and didn't know German.

If you don't like the 1940s version, here is the 1740s one.

Probably because the HRE was already an amalgamation of many different subcultures.
In retrospect though that would've made gaining influence over the rest of western continental europe a whole lot easier.

I get that climate affect civilizations, I never said the opposite, but why when the Roman civilization already fell.

Romans wanted germans to become part of the Romanitas (Romanity, Roman world), yet the only started mimicking that after Otto / Otho I the Great (centuries after of an emperor with the same name, Marcus Salvius Otho).

What difference between Goths and Baltic German?
>>
>>18252731
Goths wanted to be and were part of the Imperium.

Baltic germans are schizos that ruined the Baltics.

>schizos that ruined the Baltics
They improve it actually

>>18252654
German here and I agree. Our climate sucks fucking ass. It's constantly raining or cold as hell.

Romans probably wondered what kind of savages live in such a hostile climate.
>>
>>18252373
Do you roma even know where Germania is? It is a continuation of the siberian forests while Rome is surrounded by several ancient civilisations and their trade routes.
>>
>>18252627
Yeah great idea let's increase the tensions in the empire by forcing some sandnigger language on them
