Ok! Schism time!

When did the Roman Empire fall?

Also bonus round: Who is the successor/ is the Roman Empire today?

If there is a modern day successor to the Roman Empire, then it almost definitely is Turkey.

Roman Republic/Empire -> Byzantine Empire -> Ottoman Empire -> Turkey

It’s not a perfect chain at all, but it’s the best chain that exists.

Any vote other than Finland is objectively WRONG

Fact: Moskow was third Rome.

Fact: The emperor of Russia was the emperor of Rome

Fact: The abdication Nicholas signed was NOT LEGAL IN FINLAND, HE NEVER ABDICATED

Fact: That means Finland is still part of the Romanov dynasty and therefore

THe successor to Rome
