If we’re talking about contribution to civilisation and not just “had a lot of military victories”…
Spain, Netherlands and Switzerland should be light green.
Russia should be average.
I mean Kosovo’s experts in serb-sodomizing did cause the breakup of Yugoslavia
Contributed most to science? And you chose these places? Do you not science?
Look at this guy separating us to give himself a pat on the back, then giving NI a lower score than the southern barbarians. We don’t claim him.
The rest I accept, but Portugal being lower than the Netherlands is wild. Sure, if you focus on science (specially post XVI century) I accept. But on historical relevance as a whole, it is one of the wildest things I have seen on the internet. It is not even close! The other dark green countries are deservedly above us.
This map is an absolute walloper. Great fun OP.
(who invited this guy)
Eastern Europe protected Western Europe from the Mongols and Turks so you can do your stupid science and exploration. Don’t bother thanking us, we do it because we’re good people.
Aye right OP you need to do more research. James Clark Maxwell was Einstein’s hero.
Man feels good when you dont get blamed for the things you did 100 years ago
Love a map with no numbers or data, only vibes.
Italy should be in a tier their own
When was Wales a minor power?
Are we talking about a friday night fight?
Scotland and Denmark below Sweden? Sweden has a brief period of relevance from 1630 to 1720, while Denmark was the main power in Scandinavia from the country’s conception and onwards to 1625. Given England’s dark green rating, one should at least think that Denmark’s influence on England should warrant it be put up to light green.
Culturally, Denmark’s contributions outweigh those of Sweden: [The Danish Golden Age](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_Golden_Age), H. C. Andersen, Søren Kierkegaard, etc. I mention those two names in particular because Sweden does not really have an author or a philosopher who can match them. With regards to science, Denmark has contributed with minds such as Tycho Brahe, Ole Rømer, H. C. Ørsted, Inge Lehmann and Niels Bohr, just to name a few. I fail to see how that all only warrants Denmark an ‘average’ rating – on the level of Bulgaria. Denmark should be light green.
Some Serbian: kills Franz Ferdinand and thus triggers WW1
Also Serbia : yellow
I hate you.
Scotland should be changed to green considering the absolutely insane amount of inventions and discoveries made by us, many things people use in day to day life that we take completely for granted. The Scots made a huge contribution to science…
James Maxwell Clark was responsible for the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, which was the first theory to describe electricity. A direct inspiration to Einstein.
Joseph Black known for his discoveries of magnesium, latent heat, specific heat, and carbon dioxide.
Alexander Fleming, best known for discovering the world’s first broadly effective antibiotic substance, which he named penicillin.
It’s also worth noting, Scotland has more Nobel prize laureates than many of the nations you’ve rated higher than it.
Average? Are you kicking me…
I think if any other country in the world invented the TV that would be enough to get them Dark Green. But Scotland practically invented the modern world, and you have us down as Average?
Norway and Finland same contribution level as albania seems odd 😆 without wanting to belittle my Balkan bros
Turkey is missing, map is wrong.
this map is hillarious, title could basically be rewritten to “countries which wrote the most history books jerking themselves off”
Ahh yes we can see Russian civilization in all it’s glory right now
Great siege of 1565 resulting in a victory for the Knights and ultimately defending Rome from an Ottoman invasion? Never heard of her.
It wasn’t the English empire, it was the British empire. We did our fair share thank you very much. Scottish inventors created the modern world
I’m thinking a lot of Scottish achievements might of be credited to England, the same way that a large part of the butchery by the British empire was driven by the Scottish, Don’t worry jocks we can take this on the chin for you AGAIN
Bro just managed to piss everyone off
I don’t like this
I’d say Austria was very relevant. Used to be the main seat of power in Europe
Barry keeps forgetting the outlines of the UK and the fact that it has not been relevant since the 1950s.

Thats just 3, the list is massive:

Very innacurate smh
I do have the more correct version for Italy:
North: High
Rome/Former Papal states: Very High
South: Low
ITT Scotland thinking it had a golden age
