Italy > From the Roman Empire to the Renaissance to the modern day, Italy has influenced cultures globally with its great achievements. Genuinely Classical Culture and father of Renaissance. With such a rich history behind them. From the artwork of Leonardo da Vinci to the fashion houses of Milan, Italy’s cultural influence has always been profound. Remnants of Greek, Etruscan and Roman civilization dot the peninsula. The country’s regional cuisines inspire chefs worldwide.
Spain > Maritime strength and colonial wealth established Spain’s position as a global leader through the 16th and 17th centuries. A civil war brought dictator Francisco Franco into power in 1939, and it was only after his death in 1975 that Spain could make strides to level itself with international progress. His self-destructive behavior has forced Spain to a modern nation’s dynamic identity. Spain comprises much of the Iberian Peninsula with many islands, shares with Portugal on the southwestern edge of Europe. Cultural achievements, from the artistic mastery of Velazquez, Goya, Gaudí, Dalí or Picasso to the globally renowned novel “Don Quixote” by Cervantes, also inventors of the modern guitar and experimental cuisine standardizer.
Greece > Cradle of western Civilization: Socrates, Platon and Aristoteles. Is one of history’s oldest and most influential, credited with creating the concept of democracy as well as the ancient Olympic Games, and laying Western foundations in science, the arts and philosophy. Greek culture has forged distinctive identities in science, the arts, social sciences and cuisine.
France > The influence France has on the world, both in the past and today, is difficult to overstate. France is one of the world’s oldest countries, and its reach extends around the globe through science, politics, economics and perhaps above all, culture. French literature, cinema and cuisine.
Portugal > Portugal is a nation with its gaze turned outward. Its history is steeped in discovery and exploration, beginning with early leaders that, after ousting Celtic and Moorish settlers in the 12th century, focused on building their kingdom beyond continental borders. The westernmost nation of continental Europe used its maritime strength to colonize and forge trade routes to India, China, Japan and the coasts of Africa. Such legendary explorers as Bartholomeu Dias, Vasco da Gama, Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan sailed under Portuguese masts throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, their journeys blessed by ambitious monarchs. Eighty percent of Portugal’s current population is Roman Catholic.
They also have, for me, the best flag in the world.
>Why SOUTHERN EUROPE is THE MOST IMPORTANT REGION in THE WORLD?
They participated, continously, in civilisation building longer than any other region except east china. First from the south and the early eastern mediterrainian civilisations, and then when it traveled north, the european civilisation. You're ideally located for it.
>so why are we dying You've gotten over worse. Don't sell yourself so short.
Because we deserve it. We had the world in our hands we just gave it away to the americans and germans. We deserve it because our worst enemy is ourselves. That's why. Now die, scum

Going by your logic, we should be number one. No nation has left a greater mark on the modern world over the past two centuries, than we have.
