Few questions for you: When did the so-called thing we call Germani culture form? Did they come out of the ground as Germanic cultures people? What were they doing when Egypt and Mesopotamia had mutliple social revolution thousands of years ago with the only thing coming out of Europe being Stonehenge which is a kid in relation to the developments in what today constitutes middle east...and then tell how middle east became what it is today and forest-living Germanics built an industrial giant....
Germanic culture initially came about the same way all primary cultures come about: people, environment, random chance.
Answer this as well
What makes Scandinavia what it is today, IS to an extend the Protestanism-induced culture...but at the same time, they've created to themselves a unique new cultural word-outlook based on their existing conditions. In the 30 years war however, so-called Germanics butchered each other...so it was not something that came from inside, its was a result of specific conflicts that at the end managed to dominate. How do you explain Germans living under catholicism form centuries before Protestanism came to be then? If Protestanism is not a specific result of specific historical moments and something ingrained in Germanic culture, where was it for centuries?
How do I explain Germans living under Catholicism for the better part of 1,000 years before coming up with Protestantism?
Are you for real?
How do you explain the English living with muscle power for millennia before inventing the steam engine? How do you explain anything taking time before anything else happening? What kind of question is this?
And Protestantism didn’t COME to them in the way Catholicism was forced upon them by a Latin cultured Roman Empire. The Germans INVENTED Protestantism. They freed themselves from the mental prison of the Romans.
Or has it ever occurred to you that current Scandinavian "models" lets say has a lot to do with how the production had been handled there and how the society had organized for so long......how feudalism in France and Germany and Sweden took different forms which had a massive impact on the transition process and to building up of the new era...the modern Swedish state formed under very different circumstances than that of modern British state...not because of their ethnicity but because of their specific historical conditions at the time along with how which ideas managed to dominate the un-ending conflicts within a society....
how did Turkey become such a westernized democracy despite its faults? Why is it so different from rest of the Middle East? Or central Asia which is of same "ethnicity" with Turkey?
I normally don’t bother to reply to things written this poorly… but for completion sake:
Yes, Feudalism took different forms in different countries… what’s your point? How is even relevant? You’ve neither given an explanation for the differences nor an explanation of what the results of the differences were. It’s a non-statement.
And you’re right, Turkey has adopted the veneer of a Western democracy, in fact they’ve been wearing it for many decades. I guess this is why they’ve managed to catch up to the West in every way. We should all move to Turkey, which is totally developed like Germany, the UK or Sweden. And let’s visit Erdogan’s new “Presidential Palace” which looks nothing like a sultan’s palace, cause clearly the current regime in Turkey, and the Ottoman Sultanate share NOTHING in common, nope, complete break with their history.
