In a perfect world

based and stauferpilled

It's populated by Germans mostly, you took it for strategic reasons. I'm not saying it's a particularly interesting or important region, but it's a nice place that doesn't really have to be Italian concerning its culture.

It's got more to do with northern Italy than it does with Germany excluding maybe Bavaria

I think that after all the people that died in the war against Austria and them saying they're basically Austrian we would have a very fast deal desu

>maybe
Scratch that maybe, it's an integral part of the Austrian cultural region, it's in the name already. And Austrians are subculture Germans that live in their own state. South Tyrol (I'm not talking about Trient/Trentino) is populated by Germans that speak German.

70% of Bolzano speaks italian
30% overall in the province
it's a bicultural region and has always been, even in the middle ages they always had a significant romance population (ladins)
even the "germans" sure as hell don't speak your german, have you ever heard them talk in their dialect?
they have as much to do with Germany as the Dutch or Flemish

>70% of Bolzano speaks italian
Bozen was colonised, South Tyrol was 95% German before the annexation.

yeah that is what happens when you get conquered
saying "it's populated by Germans" is no longer true, and as i said, wasn't really true before either

but this is not a perfect world

>it's a bicultural region and has always been, even in the middle ages they always had a significant romance population (ladins)
Not the way it is now!
>even the "germans" sure as hell don't speak your german, have you ever heard them talk in their dialect?
My dialect has got nothing to do with Standard German as well, what are you trying to say? That dialects aren't part of German culture? That couldn't be further from the truth, High German basically is a construct.

This. Come on, I'm not saying you should give it back or anything, but let's be serious.

>wasn't really true before either
It de facto was, there's nothing bilingual about a region that was 95% German speaking (and about the dialect, the same could be said about most of Southern Germany).
The annexation was just for strategic purposes, no need to make up bs.

we keep south tyrol to trigger austrians and by looking at this assblasted hans, it still works

>conquered
A little flattering, don't you think? And 70% majority in the overall region still... well, it's 70%. And you just admitted most of that comes from relatively recent "colonisation".

It's completely fine, but stop trying to spin it around. No one is attacking you.

>by looking at this assblasted hans, it still works
Bruh... If that's what you call assblasted... You're not a great shitposter and baitmaster either if you're going for that.

You may keep it, I've already said. But don't pretend it's an integral part of Italy in terms of culture.

Nobody thinks that. I do think that they'd be happier in Austria

i'm not trying to deny the fact that Italy had no "ethnic" or cultural right to occupy South Tyrol in the first place, as even the Ladins weren't italian, but it did because that's how war works
now it's no longer true that it's a region populated by germans
just like the Austrians occupied what was a romance speaking region and germanized in the middle ages (i don't think to the point of getting a 95-5 proportion but whatever)
70-30 is more than enough to call a region bilingual, no matter how recent the immigration might be (and it's really not, 2-3 generations have passed since most italians moved there)

Germany is a country that does not represent all Germanic people, that fantasy has died in WW2
South Tyrol may be more at home in Austria (debateable in and of itself), but not in Germany

They probably would. But it's fine the way it is as long as you don't suppress them. We're friends now and that's a very good thing.

fpbp

Or maybe their germans who speak italian now. Kinda like corsica and alsace lorraine

In a perfect world veneto is a republic
