German States
May 23rd, 2005
How did England’s experience differ from that of the German states?
England did not suffer any wars on the mainland (other than small upraisings) once scottland was taken and became a part of the empire even before its rise to superpower under elisabeth 1. In germany however wars were fought all the time.
