This is exactly what the top comment talks about. Yes, "diverse" if you're talking about the official ruling order, because German Holy Roman Empire had an elected King and Emperor, unlike dynasties in France or England. But that doesn't mean that people spoke 200 languages or considered themselves more diverse than people in England. People's identity was tied to their local area and lord.
- wil421 13y agoRight, I didnt realize that Germany was composed of so many different "local areas or lords" compared to other countries like the UK. But most likely they shared common languages and cultures. I guess the map of UK didnt break them down into different subsets because the local leaders may have fell under one united king. And to be honest my knowledge pre WWI Germany or rather the area that is now called Germany is pretty lacking. They taught more about France and England from what I remember in grade school history.
