No we don't. It comes naturally.
Which country is the most Latin: France, Spain or Italy?
<<Spanish Empire = FIFO
first in, first out>>
The portuguese empire (not spanish) was the first global empire in history.

Like i said before, the Roman empire was far larger. Around a quarter or more of the world, while the Spanish one was simply one medium sized empire among many others.
Nobody knows the population of the world in 0 AD. It's a question of common sense, Mediterranean countries that were part of the Roman empire couldn't represent 25% of global population. China surely was much more populated. Anyway take into account that nowadays there are 500 millions of people who speak Spanish natively. That can't be achieved by a small Empire.

"Yes. We Chineses are lovers not fighters."
Yeah right. Chinese people who claim to be pacifists must have a very short memory.

I can see you're proud of the Spanish legacy, but this shouldn't prevent us from looking at the issue rationally. And that means using the best possible historical sources.
In 0 AD and 400 AD and for a long time the Mediterannean was the site of most of the world's cities and it's not surprising that its population was so large.

Anyone can claim to be a pacifist, even if they're from the bloodthirsty continents of Europe and North America.

"as though the Germans never were allowed to have a transitory episode..."
-- Of course they had one, which was very similar, beginning when Karl der Grosse submitted the Saxons and continuing during the Drang nach Osten. The Germans brought civilisation —and their language— to the areas between the river Elbe and Weichsel, along with urbanization and a more advanced stage of development.

Wow, I didn't know they had rednecks in France too! :-o

I think the meaning of "Latin" here is a reference to the New World classification of the term "Latin" (language) applied to speakers of Romance languages (eg. "Latin America").
It has been extended, especially in the US, to include not only language delineation, but also culture, race, music, etc. in the absence of a word to denote such.
So I think what the OP was really asking is this: Who is the most fun-loving, spiciest, rromantico, and muy bestes' Latin-Lover' in de whole eworld, least like those estock-op Anglo Mother-Fockers in de JU-Eh' (U.S.)

Let me clarify then. Anyone who claims that China is pacifist as a nation must have a very short memory.

China is indeed pacifist. How many countries did China invade in the last 100 years? And dont tell me about Tibet cos it is just a Chinese province. On the other hand USA has invaded many countries
