What nation you admire the most?

I must respect the nations that came from no where and became a military and or economic superpower
1. Prussia
2. England
3. Israel
4. Russia
5. United States

I respect your choices and the fact that my argument in this thread may finally be over .

All Slavic Countries in my opinion are very advanced in culture and people are respectfull

Prussia came from the Teutonic Order
England came from the remains of Rome
Russia came from Muscovy and other states
US came from England

The only nation on that list that sprung from nothing is Israel

I don't think its fair to say England came from the remnants of war. It probably came from Normandy instead.

you're right about Prussia with the teutonic order but they weren't even close to a super power till much later
and they rose to prominence surrounded by super powers Holy Roman Empire Sweden Austria Russia Poland
The remenants of the Brandenburg family after the teutonic order weren't very powerful except for their elector position in the Holy Roman Empire

Russia was a whole other story it took both Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, and Stalin to reform the crap out of Russia for it too become an actual player.

United States for instance it took us a century for us to catch up to the Europeans industrially and militarily

Im pretty sure the Teutonic Order was a powerhouse in its area.

In the Medieval Era the teutonic was powerful just as Rome was a super power in the Classical era
The Teutonic Order fell to the The Prussian Confederation during the 13 years war as a result of their decline in the mid 1400s. No would have guessed this Prussian confederation would have become a world player

UK and Germany

Scandinavian countries...

I was, because it was supported with knights and stuff from other European Catholic countries. Not only that, but the Teutonic Order at the time was actually considered a crusader state, which it was. Except, instead of crusading against Muslims in the holy land, it was crusading against Pagans in Lithuania.

Canada, All of Scandinavia

Scandinavic-Slavic pride !

Has anyone even so much as mentioned the US?

I gave an 'honourable mention' if I am not mistaken.
