The romans are the mix of etruskian and greek colonies. The development of concrete and extreme architecture happened in rome. greeks didnt make concrete. As a italian im the product of etruskian and greek ancestors.
1500 years ago the capital of the world was Byzanz. The capital of the eastern roman empire. If you seek to gain support you should check your facts before making claims that contradict your point. You should also check facism. Facism means support for a leader system and nothing else.
That is precisely the point. Rome had no science, no reasoning that was not adapted from the Greeks. The Etruscan influence that you talk about repeatedly has left nothing behind to demonstrate that it was as great an influence on science and on reasoning as the Greeks.
1500 years ago, in the 4th century, Byzantium, in Asia Minor, may have been a surviving metropolis of Hellenistic civilisation; it had nothing to do with Europe. Why don't you mention Rome? The last Roman Emperor died in 476; 1500 years from 1976. After that, Rome was a shrinking city, ruled by a succession of barbarians. Even your vaunted Byzantium, capital of the eastern Roman empire, spoke, wrote and read Greek, not Latin. So where was Rome and Italy in all that?
As for it being the capital of the world, its world stopped with Persia, and several Byzantine emperors died in Persian captivity. 1500 years ago, Persia was quite capable of looking after hersr elf, and gave as good as she got. But she was not the shining glory of the eastern world. 1500 years ago, India's civilisation was at a peak. The Guptas ruled, and a civilisation flourished that was far superior to the degraded slum that Rome had begun. You talked of science and reasoning. Both these were far more developed in India; the plays and the literature produced then would beggar anything produced in Europe until centuries later.
Maybe it is you who should take a little time off and check your history. 1500 years ago was not the right moment to mention.
shhhhh dont bring up facts here. He said himself its his forum. He doesnt need facts to get support.
Yes, don't bring up facts. It might puncture your claims. National Socialism was inspired by Mussolini's Fascism; in the classifications used in Political Science, National Socialism is considered a variation of Fascism.
you come from a british colony. The UK had zero influence on germany, france, italy or spain. The main force behind the modern world is the roman empire because it created the foundation.
We don't, we come from a civilisation that was conquered by the British and made into a colony. Look up how your mentors, the Greeks, defined colony.

In case you hadn't noticed, when you jumped into your 35 second study of history before banging it out over here, there was no difference between any of the countries in the world in, say, the 16th century. In fact, most of the wealth belonged to two countries very far from Europe, and most of the time spent by Europeans was in trying to get to these countries directly, to get access to their produce. In 200 years, the situation had changed; the Europeans were superior. The difference was the Industrial Revolution. Now spare another 35 seconds and check where the industrial revolution started. Italy, sadly, had nothing much to do with it.
