fine but i am just saying you cant deny that France/Germania had and have great civilization history and depending on when you start measuring the rankings among England/France/Germany would be scrambled. so all 3 would easily be part of OPs assertion

Infact if you think post WWII then Germany has pwned the fck out of English in terms of success

I'm flaming for the most part, but I do think that the tradition of political stability, common law, incremental change, etc of England and its descendants are special. Also France and Germany didn't manage to spawn successful settler countries the way England did (which is unfortunate, I wish they had)

England was not that much stable than HRE/France for most of history (look at succession wars etc). you seem to think history starts at around 1800. then lets look at post WWII where Germany has had only like 5 chancellors and basically better stability than England

regarding colonies you are right that english have a much better track record but they were a mercantile island which gave them some advantages over France/HRE. Also the most successful english colonies (AUS/NZ/CAN/USA) happened because they were new world territories populated by white europeans where as French and Germany didnt have that luxury of having new world colonies

Your argument falls apart when you look at places like Bangladesh/Pakistan (english colonies) which are SPS compared to Vietnam (french colony)

Agree with most of your points but it's silly to cherry pick colonies of populations of completely different culture/religion/IQ/resources/etc and compare them in any meaningful way (Vietnam vs Bangladesh, etc). UK had the most colonies so naturally many of them are shitty countries today, Many of the poorest and worst off African countries today were French, don't think it reflects much on them really.

no the key factor was the ppl who lived in colonies and NOT who were the colonial masters. in fact this was the only factor to determine what happened in these ex-colonies

so all colonies with white europeans flourished while the rest went TTT.

so no point in giving major credit to British which is the point I was making. it was not because British had some secret sauce that France/Germany didnt have

Being able to create successful white settler colonies was part of the British secret sauce. They were the only ones able to do it, not Spain, not France really, the Dutch came closest I guess.
