Talk:Holy Roman Empire (The British Ain't Coming)

Under Review
As brought up by SouthWriter on the talk page for Prussia, there is debate on whether or not the Holy Roman Empire could exist in the 21st Century, or would simply be "backwards" in modern society. Findings after this topic show that the HRE was already on steady decline, and that Napoleon just gave the final push; the HRE could dissolve some time before the Industrial Revolution. Reasons for the decline included the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the rise of nationalism as it replaced feudalism (which still rose although not as large as it would with Napoleon), all of which were in no way influenced by the British (expect maybe for some Enlgihtenment thinkers). Therefore, I have put the Holy Roman Empire under review. Discussions about the status of the article shall be held here.
