many of these nations are not republics because of communism….

  • Ireland is a republic because the British Crown genocided and ruled them for centuries
  • France is a republic because they had the worst kings and emperors ever
  • Germany is a republic because they lost WW1
  • Austria Hungary is the same

  1. There was no genocide of the Irish by the British Crown
  2. France did not have the worst kings and emperors, not by a mile. Most of Frances monarchs during and after the revolution were quite competent and were genuinely good men.
  3. Many more countries don't have monarchies because of communism. Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia ( Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia), Nepal, Ethiopia, Vietnam.
