I'd say pierogi is more synonymous with Poland. Also it's economy is one of the greatest successes of a post Warsaw nation. It out performs the former East Germany in several metrics.
All three produced Vikings. Though the ones that harassed England were mostly Danish Vikings with some arriving from Norway and Sweden later on.
Germany and Italy both had fascism. Italy invented it during WWI.
And Baguettes and croissants and frig legs! Germany does have some...interesting bread varieties.
European history is a lot more than just some inbred monarchs. The language you speak, the political system you use all came from Europe. Your insults come across like a teenager ranting at his parents that he's smarter than them.
Baguettes and croissants are also bread...
I think you don't understand what I said. I am not insulting Europe, I am European. I am criticizing your closeminded perspective on what you don't know about.
Of course, and the history of every US state is a lot more than just potatoes.
If you're talking about the US, a constitutional bicameral presidential republic, with three branches and a judiciary of your peers, was first done in the US. In fact most modern constitutions are inspired by the American constitution.
More countries have used the Canadian constitution than the US as their framework.
Yes, amazingly, literally everything is inspired and influenced by things in the past, since the US founders were influenced largely by European cultures they were influenced by Europe. But of course, all those European cultures were even more significantly influenced by Levant cultures. Why learn European history that was just savages a few thousand years ago when you could learn Levant cultures?
