I object to the word "Germanic".

English has dominated the world for centuries and has become the most succesful language in history. So why are Germanic languages called that? Germany is a shithole that had maybe 50 good years as an empire (60 if you count Hitler). Nobody even knows the etymology of German. I propose that the word Engloid replaces Germanic in all meanings from now on.

You argument is invalid as Sweden got tiny parts of Mecklenburg after fighting for decades and France could never really establish the Rhine as border and while Napoleon abolished the institution of the HRE, he effectively made Germany more powerful by forming fewer, larger states.
