@igelsQTs That's before the unification of Germany isn't it? I remember this based guy called the Kaiser who did something like that.
@AmpBenzScientist unification of germany never happened. Theres quite a few regions and countries left.
@igelsQTs @AmpBenzScientist where other than austria are you thinking of?
@igelsQTs @AmpBenzScientist i know but it doesnt make them german, so i asked which ones you were thinking of particularly
@gav @AmpBenzScientist of course it makes them german. What made a bavarian "german" other than being pressured into a unity via war with france? German is an ethnicity.
@AmpBenzScientist @gav all of these things became relevant far after unification. Before the 1870s a german was just whoever identified as such. Countries were just whichever monarch you served in that region. It was meaningless to use german as a nationality and monarchs fought against it as an identity for that very reason. The worst part of the name of the modern "germany" as a state is that it ruined this original meaning
