Germanic vs Latin Culture, Which Has Contributed More Too Humanity?

[MagnusAurelius]

Just So no one asks again, Senior Moderator McCool who gave Germanic Culture 100,005 votes, this is Rigged, I don't think Germanic votes even count now but try voting for it anyway, it is at 100,005 now so if it goes higher or it is higher when you are reading this then it is working, IS IT CONFIRMED WORKING, the 10,00 figure is really 1 vote



After witnessing the profound bigotry, hate and racism of highly esteemed ethno-centric Pseudo-Nazi Leliana, I decided to make a thread proving her assumptions and hate for Southern Europeans wrong. This woman who is an extreme racist ethno-centric who is basically racist against other ethnic groups of her own race, especially Southern Europeans, Middle Eastern/NorthAfricans and more racially pure South Asians.

"You are a loser for 1500 years now. Electricity, computers, machines, cars, Internet...all things you use to talk gargabe has been invented by people of Northern European stock." She is referring to Southern Europeans/Italians in this even though she is idiotically referring to me, since she is an extreme racist Pseudo Nazi ethno-centric, she associates ones ethnicity directly with the achievements of their people instead of judging someone for who they are as an individual.

She is completely wrong, the first Automobile and many machines came from Latin Culture and the Personal Computer comes from Latin Culture. It is also worth noting that the majority of individuals responsible for computers, machines and Electricity were not even Nordic racially, aka "Pure Germanic in origin" since pure Germanics were all Nordic racial types, Tacitus even said they were an unmixed people (not mixed with other Caucasian racial types) so they must have all had a similar look.




It is obvious that Latin Cultures (Italy being the original Latin Culture) along with Greece have contributed more to human development and society than Germanic Cultures ever have and ever will but this is only if you are counting ancient History. Greece and Italy were responsible for the vast majority of technological advancements or any development in Europe from 800BC-900AD. In modern times, Germanic/Celtic combined people have probably contributed more to civilization/technological development than Latin Cultures have but this is only if you count Americans, the foundation of the United States created an environment where great thinkers and modern pioneers could flourish. The population difference would also vastly outnumber if I was to count the entire Celtic/Germanic population in the United States in 1970.

Too make this an even playing field, I will only be counting European nations that are Germanic or Latin (Nations that speak a Romance language). This does not imply that all these nations are fully Germanic or fully Southern European in origin since France has significant Celtic ancestry and English are proven to be 25-35% Germanic depending on the person with the rest of their ancestry being Celtic. Celtic people were not as closely genetically related as Germanics were but they did have a strong Cultural bond. The only years that will be counted are years that Germanic and Latin Cultures were at an almost even level of technological/civilization development. The years that will be counted will be 1000-1970. Most iconic modern inventions and other significant developments that we know of today were developed before 1970.

Population is an important factor since the more people you have then the more people (mostly men) there are to develop society and make significant breakthroughs in development or technology.

Latin Culture
1970
Italy 53 million
Spain 33 million
Portugal 8 million
France 50 million
Romania 20 million
Total:164


Germanic Culture
1970
Germany 78 million
England 44 million
Austria 8 million
Netherlands 13 million
Denmark 5 million
Sweden 8 million
Norway 4 million Total:160 The population of these nations all grew at a similar pace so the lower numbers would also be of a similar difference in past years.

This list is all according to my opinion, I did not count many inventions and discoveries from all nations, I only counted ones which have had a considerable impact on the advancement of humanity. I may update this list at a later time and try to make the Germanics more even with the Latins. I went through all Wikipedia and other lists of inventions/developments by certain individuals of each nation, read through all the lists and chose which ones I thought could be considered significant.

I chose one of the options up to Modern times if anyone believes all technological achievements/developments from Germanics/Latins world wide are almost even. Germanics/Celtics combined would have more than Latin Culture due to a higher population and so many developments coming from the United States where the large majority of European Americans are of Celtic/Germanic descent. A higher population in an advanced developed nation more great thinkers,developers,inventors and innovators, most of them being men. This disparity is evened out since Latin Cultures dominated most advancements in Europe from 800BC-900AD and Latin/Germanic Cultures were on an almost even level from 900AD-1970

Ehh.. we both are pretty good. This type of pissing contest doesn't help anything or anyone. It's not like anyone's ideas are going to be changed about anything because of reading this, its just going to piss people off. Plus I am pretty sure the UK dwarfs both Latin and Germanic culture for scientific/cultural input over the last 200 years just because they were the dominant power post Napoleonic Era into the Modern era. Over the last 70 years the United States has dwarfed everyone else as the dominant scientific/cultural driving force. It has more to do with geopolitical power and less to do with inherent intelligence. Just my two cents.

It is extremely difficult to quantify scientific contribution. You are going to miss plenty, and they build on each other. Without the Latin/Hellenic classics there would have been no Italian Renaissance. Without a Renaissance there would have been no French Enlightenment and German Reformation. Without French Enlightenment and German Reformation there would have been no French and American Revolution, without a French and American Revolution there would be no British Trade Monopoly,Industrial Revolution, and Colonialism without British Trade Monopoly and Industrial Revolution there would be no Socialism, World Wars, Russian Revolution, Chinese Cultural Revolution and Modern Era. Think about all the inventions that accompanied these advances.

discovery of America It was a great fact for humanity

[Raikaswinþs]

I personally haven't invented anything, nor you and I'm pretty sure Leliana herself hasn't acomplished anything worth noting.Now that doesn't mean we aren't worthy human beings, just saying we should stop with this group-projection , because it is frankly childlish.

The world we know would not be possible without the contributions of all major civilizations. Be happy of who you are and try to make our own contribution!

Latins discovered America but it was the British who built it.

Latins discovered America but it was the British who built it.

That doesn't make any sense. When Britons were still starting up their settlements, The Viceroyalty of New Spain, already had colonial towns,churches, roads , major ports and trading routes, brought systems of irrigation and had introduced European Technology to the native populations for about 150 years (and brought back American crops, inventions, words and knowledge back to Europe).

Yes but British made it what it is today. And most white Americans are of British descent.

Latin of course.
