Was the Roman Empire the predecessor of France? 5

No! The Roman Empire was the region of today's Italy!

The predecessor of France was the Frankish Empire!

Of course not, do you know where the city of Rome is today? It is in today's Italian capital, judging from the origin of Rome, and it is not France, and France is not the name of France, you have to know this.

No! Caesar conquered Gaul and wrote the Gallic Wars, the predecessor of France. The French considered themselves Gauls, rebels against the Roman Empire.

You must know that European countries, including France, were originally provinces of the Roman Empire, and their kings were all crowned by the Pope. So it's up to you how you want to understand it.

To put it in a general sense, most of the European countries evolved from the Roman Empire.

No, Gallic in Roman times was the predecessor of France.

It's not a place at all

The Roman Empire was a stage of the ancient Roman period, which included three stages: the Roman monarchy (753 BC to 509 BC), the Roman Republic (509 BC 27 BC), and the Roman Empire (27 476 BC to 1453 BC).

1. The Roman monarchy.

The Roman monarchy was a period from 753 BC to 509 BC in Rome, during which people generally referred to Rome as the Kingdom of Rome, a traditional monarchy whose official name was not the "Senate and the Roman People" as it came to be known, but simply "Rome".

There is little certainty about the history of the kingdom, as almost no written records have survived at that time, and the history about it written during the republics and empires is largely based on legends.

2. The Roman Republic.

The Roman Republic (509 BC - 27 BCE) (Latin: Senatvs Popvlvsqve Romanvs) was the form of government of the ancient Romans between 509 and 27 BC, and its official name was "Senate and the Roman People".

3. The Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire (27 BC - 1453 AD, the Western Roman Empire fell in 476, the Eastern Roman Empire fell in 1453), was a large empire centered on the Mediterranean Sea and spanning three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. The Roman Empire was a stage of ancient Roman civilization.

Seriously, no, but many aspects of Italy have been inherited from the time of the Romans. Therefore, some people say that I think it is okay.

The unification of Italy took place in the mid-19th century, a few hundred years after the fall of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. Italy is in fact a republic united by the revolutionary party "Charcoal Party", represented by Garibaldi.

The center of the Roman Empire was Italy...

No! Its predecessor was supposed to be the Charlemagne Empire.

The predecessor was supposed to be Charlemagne's empire.

Holy Roman Empire.

Strictly speaking, the Holy Roman Empire had no legal direct relationship with the Roman Empire, on the contrary, it appeared on the stage of history as one of the invaders of the Roman Empire. But in 962 AD, the Holy See recognized the Holy Roman Empire as the legitimate successor to the Western Roman Empire, and later the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople also recognized its status. It was not until 1806 that the Holy Roman Empire was overthrown by Napoleon I and declared its dissolution.

Some believe that the coronation of Charlemagne in 800 marked the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire, but most people still believe that the empire should have been called the Frankish Empire.

In 840, Charlemagne's son, Louis I, died, and his empire fell apart. In 843, Louis I's three sons concluded the Treaty of Verdun, which divided the country into three parts. Among them, Charlemagne's eldest grandson Lothar (795-855) inherited the title of emperor and held the territory south of the lower Rhine, through the Rhône valley, to central Italy, known as the Kingdom of Middle Francia.

His younger brother, Louis the Germanic (804-876), took possession of the area east of the Rhine and became known as the Kingdom of East Francia. Another younger brother, Charles the Bald, took possession of the western region of the rest of the country, known as the Kingdom of West Francia. These were basically the prototypes of what would later be Italy, Germany, and France.

East Francian Kingdom --- Kingdom of Germany--- Holy Roman Empire (Emperor Augustus) - German Confederation--- German Empire (Kaiser Emperor) - Weimar period--- Nazi period--- Cold War period--- East Germany was incorporated into West Germany and became the current Federal Republic of Germany.

In the second year of Henry I's succession to the throne of the East Frankish Kingdom (919 AD), the name of the country was changed to the Kingdom of Germany, but the royal power became weaker and weaker, Henry's son Otto I tried to centralize power, in 961 AD, Otto I marched into Italy to quell the rebellion, and the next year in accordance with the concept of divine authority established in the late Roman period, the Pope was crowned, inherited the title of "Augustus Caesar", and became the guardian of Rome and the supreme ruler of the Catholic world.

In 1155, when Frederick I was crowned "Augustus", the word "holy" was added to the title, and the kingdom became known as the "Holy Roman Empire" from 1157 onwards. In 1254, the name "Holy Roman Empire" was officially used for the first time. In the second half of the 13th century, the empire was confined to the German-speaking region, and from 1474 onwards it became known as the "Holy Roman Empire of the German nation", which later became known as the First German Empire.

In 1806, Franz II renounced the title of Emperor of the HRE (Augustus), the empire disappeared, and the German Confederation was formed, and finally Prussia unified Germany and established the federal German Empire, the Second German Reich.

It is undeniable that the Franks were first, but they were also a branch of the Germanic peoples, and it is undeniable that the Franks have the blood of the proud Germanic peoples in their veins!

The Holy Roman Empire is the country formed by the annexation of the Czech Republic and Northern Italy by East Francia, and the armed coronation of the Vatican after the Low Countries, to put it bluntly, East Francia is the predecessor of Holy Rome, and naturally it is the predecessor of Germany.
