Celts

Why were the Celtic peoples so easily conquered and subjugated? There are very few Celtic people left and their languages for the most part have disappeared.
What made their culture and people so fragile?

Fuck off Sassenach, hardest soldiers in the empire and have always made up a disproportionate amount of British military personnel. Also the Romans were BTFO'd by the Picts, and the Irish under Niall Noigiallach.

Celts become enraged and confused when not kept under the foot of superior Norman's.

Nice D and C thread

Red hair is extremely recessive, even if both parents have red hair, the kid only has like a 25% chance of the gene passing on. All the celts got mutted into the brits

>Celtic people
>One homogenous group

Scotland and Ireland were never conquered by Rome.

Gauls ended up being the majority of the troops in the Roman legions.

Saxons never conquered anything they came over as mercenaries to defend the Britons against raids by the Scoti and Picts and then did the same thing modern day immigrants do which is breed like fucking rabbits and ask for constant gibs. Saxons ended up stealing the Celtic King Arthur who btfo'd the filthy Saxons so hard he gave them an everlasting inferiority complex.

At least the Norse were actually a positive influence in terms of urban administration and trade.

Britons were Celts you retard.

>Too primitive to be united in a single state
>Advanced enough to have well cleared and developed lands desirable to conquer
Compare to the Germanic tribes at the of Ceasars conquest of Gaul living in dense forrest lands fighting constant guerrilla war. The Romans made attempts to conquer it but in the end were not able to justify the resources when they were needed elsewhere.
The Gauls had advanced city states, which made the easier to conquer since every tribe was so centralized, combined with the well cleared farm land made them a tempting target once the Romans got past their an ancestral fear since the sack of Rome.
If Vercingetorix had succeed at Alessia against Ceasar, considering his efforts to unite the Gauls history might have been very different.

the people who inhabited the upper shelf of western doggerland were not celts

At least Irish/scottish gaelic still exists.
French gaulic will never be spoken again since no one knows what it sounded like.

Welsh still exists.

FYI

Celts had metal tipped plows, extensive metalworking culture, crop rotation, soil fertilisation (they used lime to adjust ph levels), and used Greek letters for mercantile texts (druid lore was too sacred to be written down). they also invented chainmail, and were the ones who introduced the Romans and Greeks to both chain mail and the aforementioned metal tipped plows.

Tacitus says they were mostly woodsman, hunters, and migrant farmers, and warriors. Their life cycle would have consisted of clearing woods to farm for a few years, then moving on to more fertile regions and letting the forest reclaim their old homestead. (They'd move to new land every 10 or 15 years).

There's still Breton in France, that's a celtic language.

So much confusion regarding celts in here btw, not even gonna bother with you lot

That depends on which Celts, Norwegians were in Northern Britannia before the Scots.

>French gaulic will never be spoken again since no one knows what it sounded like.
We have more than a thousand Gaulish inscriptions and there are several Gaulish conlang.

Yes but just like Roman Latin, the pronunciations are lost to time.

If by BTFO you mean centuries of back and forth conflicts until the point a Scot was crowned King of England. Everything after was interfactional disputes.

Also the English still have Celt DNA and ancestry.

Old-timey SJW shit

If you share an island with Germanics, you get BTFO, there's no escaping it, once we decided to come over the North Sea these "people" were destined to get on their knees and worship the Big Germanic Cock
It's just a shame we've forgotten who our real brothers are and so many Englishmen think of themselves as (((British)))

>just like Roman Latin
The pronunciation of Latin was preserved by our languages, as for Gaulish, it didn't differ much from Latin. Gauls used the tau gallicum( đ Đ Đ ) and the use of the chi ( χ ), that's it.

'Ate Romans
'Ate Greeks
'Ate Germanics
'Ate Iberians
'Ate bath'ouses

Coming from you haha that's rich, your crown jewel was sacked by them on numerous occasions. And it's not as if we weren't raiding over into their land either.

The watlingcaust was a proper shame that

>butthurt 'Celt' cunt

Yeah but at least we got our revenge, you never did. The Vandals and Ostrogoths, the same people that invaded Rome, were exterminated by Eastern Romans.

ok 2 for 2 then

>We
The ones who bended the knees are your ancestors, dumb briton.

We genocided the Anglo-Cucksons and made remaining ones flee to Byzantium, what is left is the Germanized British lower class.

Wrong.

>Normies and newfriends STILL can't read studies
It adds up to 70% Germanic and only 20% Celtic.

Phwoar now that's a real woman that is.

Never got our revenge? Does Tony Blair and Gordon Brown destroying the UK not count?

>Never got our revenge? Does Tony Blair and Gordon Brown destroying the UK not count?

English have over 50% Celtic blood mr wewuz saxons n sheit.
Celts were always independent minded and challenged authority and so had a lot of clan warfare which made them easier to divide by the eternal Anglo who were all cuck drone slaves to their norman lords,
Plus england has always had a much larger population and still took hundreds of years of fighting and had to make do with a political union and taking the Scottish Royal family as their own.
Scots Irish in America also were some of the most defiant to the redcoats.
The eternal Anglo cannot comprehend the mind of a free man. The eternal Anglo makes a desert and calls it peace.

>Rome had no problem taking over gauls (celts) in area of france (makes sense)

Rome almost completely lost the Gallic Wars in one final battle against Vercingetorix. If Julius Caesar, still a military leader not an emperor, hadn’t led one final Hail Mary charge with his personal body guard into the fray they would have likely lost.
Defeating the Gauls was no easy task, and they never really quelled Basque rebellions.

Fair enough lol.

cope more mutt

Cimru!

WE

Why don't you lot dissolve the Union then and go fuck off and suck on Merkels teets then if you love Krauts so much.

dead cope meme

Honestly though where does the humour come from? Scots are retarded? We lovingly embrace that. The memes are also written with an obviously cockney London dialect though because it sounds objectively retarded

Scots were also defiant royalists
Scots are just too BASED for this gay Earth, well, all the diaspora Scots, not the cucks that couldn't Scexit cuz muh gibs

This.
It's really SAD if you think about it. Anglo is the most coward race in European military history, yet managed to conquer and rule Celts.

Germanics are superior to Celts

To be fair I find Celts more interesting.

freedom,

The Celtic Culture was the entire world, their scientific (metalworking) achievements (stirrups) were beyond the romans. but the celts believed everyone was like the celts, that is having a single king rather than a host of duchies with an emperor.

the incels in rome changed that.

Good for you
i dont though lmao

They were closer to clans than a united group of people.

In the game of civilizations, organization and everyone coming together under the same flag wins out.

"Diaspora" gtfo, it was a very good thing that we didn't vote yes, I don't know if you understand how pro EU and pro refugee the general populace is here, luckily we managed to get out of Europe because of the based norf englanders

It's 20%. Where do people keep getting these retarded numbers from?

Apart from they didn't conquer us. We joined crowns and formed a political union. Also funny how the best soldiers in the Empire's military were Scots, Irish, and Welsh.

>Scots were also defiant royalists
They were split on the matter.
In America highlanders who settled in the carolinas fought for the crown because they were made to swear an oath of allegiance to the king and breaking an oath in highland culture is a huge no no.

The Picts are the true based race.
