If you ever wonder why Germany didn't exist till the Prussian unification I will tell you!
For the Swedes Under the leadership of King Gustavus Adolphus Invaded Germany in 1633 And Performed the greatest Genocide known to Man
The Swedes Occupied Under a period of 10 Years (1633-1645) 3/4 Of German Land from the Holy Roman Empire And did many a deed, burning down the German Capital as a start.
This Holy Roman Empire was an Empire or a Reich, (First Reich) formed between Italy, The Vatican and The German People
The Germans back then Were Heretics and refused to give up, Godless heathens who rather believe in mystery Babylon and Pagan-Catholic Ideas, despite the war dragging on for over 10 years, preferring to hide in the Austrian Mountains like chickens.
The Swedes bearing a cross on their banner so did begin Genociding lowland Germans
Women, children, old people it doesn't matter they are Heretic filth
It is estimated that roughly 3/4 of all Germans died in this war, Over 7 Million Germans Genocided by mass hangings (Hanging entire villages in trees) and Schwedentrunk among other Ways.
Due to this it would take them over 300 years to recover, until the Prussian unification, who back then we're given command of the wasteland known as alemania by The Swedish Government due to a marriage pact
So if you ever wonder again why Germany didn't have any colonies or any significance till the Third Reich and the Prussians
>Think of the Swedes murdering 7 Million Germans in Holy war
