      If the Ottomans were heir to Rome because they conquered the eastern half of the empire, then what about the German tribes that conquered the western half? Would that mean the holy roman empire's claim would be legit?

      Does modern day Germany have as much claim to the title as Turkey then?

        There are no heirs only descendants.

        In the Roman tradition the successor would most likely be the most powerful country/state in the world. USA or China.

              There never was a Carlos V. There was a Carlos (I) who was also Karl V though.

                        No, redskin is oviously a term meant to describe someones race, like me calling a black man "darkie." Both are racial slurs.

                        Squaw is simple a word in their own language, and in this case a word that was used in the correct context.

                        But I will play your game. I now declare the use of the French language racist.

                              The Roman Empire was an empire centered upon the city of Rome. When the imperial possessions in the west fragmented, leaving Rome as the center of a small ecclesiastic state then truly the Roman empire had died. The fact that some fragments persisted for a while doesn't change that fact.

                                In any case, it is still simply an native american word, I can't help it if stupid people are offended by it.
