>look up any random royal family of Europe
>they're ethnically German 99% of the time
How did they do it?

Examples: France, Russia, UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy

Germans were bioweapon in medieval times similar to how Indians are today.

In modern times too they installed themselves as kings in Greece, Albania, Bulgaria etc

Basically this if you look at rulers, mercenaries, scientists in Europe it used to be 90% Germans i think its decentralization and living in fertile but isolated valleys which caused it

Something about lack of urbanization causes immense success for a people. Germans are much less densely urbanized than other countries and are successful. The USA is much less densely urbanized than other countries, and is successful. England and France used to be the same, but when that changed their countries declined in power and quality of life.

Germany was only united relatively recently, it used to be lots of smaller kingdoms. Given royal families throughout Europe intermarry, it becomes statistically likely that a German royal is part of a given countries royal family, just because there were a lot of them.

here at least it was because to secure protestant control of the crown they excluded all catholics from the line of succession, and so due to the various intermarriages between european royal families the only viable heir was some hanoverian princess

>Given royal families throughout Europe intermarry
That would be a valid statement if the reality wasn't that the German royal families were intermarrying with other German royal families who were ruling other non-ethnically German countries.

It was all Germans

indians were pillagers in the middle ages and the chieftain of the strongest invading tribe sometimes become king.

More nobility for longer. What's more prestigious for a high born aristocrat? To marry some middle or low level noble from your own or a neighboring country? Or maybe to marry a direct relative of a ruling dynasty of an independent domain?

>>212261481 (OP)
Here high nobility and royalty have had a tradition of marrying german princesses. When Peter the Second died, german princess got the throne.

Human zoos and freakshows are frowned upon today, but the people want to have some troglodytes they can gawk at.

This. They weren't "German", they were from the Holy Roman Empire which was the sole biggest state in Europe and not just "Germany".

Which one of ours is? Habsburg? They were Austrian invaders and were always considered as such
