How did this function? Some of these duchies must have had fewer than 10000 people

Dithmarschen?

jo Rottweil

was this the GOAT german border?

Almost, but Dithmarschen is pretty based desu

That's not a bad thing

It did though

Based Schwaben, most beautiful castles in Germany

imo, pic related was the closest it came to perfection
parts still missing here were: Alsace-Lorraine, South Tyrol, Luxemburg, Eupen-Malmedy, Danzig Corridor & Memel
but Hitler had to completely sperg out and fuck it all up

God damn, those borders trigger my autism. Here, I fixed it.

I had something like pic related in mind
No reason to annex the whole of Bohemia

Like The Staates in the US, just.... Worse...

Sure, your version includes rightful German clay, but I just can't stand the fact that those provinces are so close to being connected but they're not, resulting in an ugly-looking border to the east.

Having your country split in two like that looks ugly. Although we have Alaska.

borders aren't about aesthetics, that's autism

>How did this function?
same as the European union

HRE in this form only really existed for 150 years. Before it was more centralised.

Prussia has the best borders; the only discounted state which has ever been aesthetic. I'm glad they lost to Napoleon so we didn't get fat Prussia

Why is there always an american making threads when they ask stuff. Are you all CIA agents?

This is your brain on village ultra-nationalism.

Fucking Albions.

Anglos are the only reason Prussia existed

Prussia was already losing land because of Napoleon; wouldn't have been long until he balkanized it completely

>wouldn't have been long until he balkanized it completely
baseless claim, plus it was Russia who pushed back Napoleon and ended his supremacy over Germany, Anglos did very little in that war of the sixth coalition
>inb4 muh Waterloo
half of the "British" army was made up of Germans and the British would've been btfo hadn't it been for Blücher and his Prussians

>baseless claim
Napoleon has many exampled of making potential threats weaker by creating or strengthening states loyal to him

yes, for example Prussia in 1806. Prussia quickly implemented reforms and became strong enough to be instrumental in the defeat of Nappy 1813-15
if you want to make the claim Nappy would've somehow abolished Prussia entirely I would like to see anything even remotely resembling evidence

>strong enough to be instrumental in the defeat of Nappy 1813-15
But not on their own. It was GBR that supplied the war efforts for the entity of Napoleons reign, and the Russians who had the meat of the army. If Prussia was on their own do you really think they could resist Napoleon? Especially with retards like Blucher being their best general

>But not on their own.
no, and I didn't say or imply it either you cunt
but neither could GB, it was reliant on continental allies to defeat Napoleon

I didn't say they did it own their own; I said Prussia would cease to exist without GB, which is true

(1) Prussia's sovereignty was secured by Russia defeating Napoleon in 1812-13, not GB
(2) You still didn't provide any evidence whatsoever to the thesis that Prussia would somehow cease to exist without GB

>(1) Prussia's sovereignty was secured by Russia defeating Napoleon in 1812-13, not GB
Except Russia didn't defeat Napoleon
>(2) You still didn't provide any evidence whatsoever to the thesis that Prussia would somehow cease to exist without GB
Like I said Napoleon destroyed those who he saw as threats and used the land to create allies. He took land away from Prussia to create Warsaw; if Prussia continued to rebel can you explain why he wouldn't again?

try again

>no answer

m8 when you're just making shit up that's not really worth addressing

What am I making up? Did Napoleon never create the Duchy of Warsaw?

But even Hitler said that south Tyrol geographically belonged to Italy

Russia did defeat Napoleon, that's not debatable
He did create the Duchy of Warsaw, but that was a peace treaty with Prussia, Prussia and Austria were still sovereign states, he couldn't do anything with them he wanted
In his invasion against Russia Prussia and Austria idly stood by, if he had tried to completely abolish their states they would've certainly gone to war, now with their military reforms implemented, they would certainly be a tough nut to crack

GB did do a lot, undeniably, but stop being cringy and unrealistic about it please

Russia ran away from Napoleon. It's like running away from a robber and saying you won because he only stole your valuables

95789319
stop it

No you stop it. Napoleon lost because all of Europe banded together

Kind of a strawman because defensive treaties happened all the time. When you have smaller polities, cooperative defense is no harder, but finding allies who will aggress with you is much harder.

If Germany hadn't been united, WWI might have been a much smaller local conflict.

Russians defeated Napoleon on their own in 1812.
>Napoleon lost because all of Europe banded together
true
where were the Anglos at Leipzig tho?
