Who is in the Trinity of Europe?
Factor in historical importance, social relevancy, and domestic power.
I got the UK, France, and Germany. You?

Greece and Italy in historical importance. No country comes close. UK, France, Germany in social relevancy. I'm not sure about the domestic power tbh.

Don't forget about the Netherlands' historical importance y'all. Established New Amsterdam (New York), were the richest country in the world, were the first country to allow Protestantism.

If you start speaking about that, Spain has had a lot of power since it was the country with most colonies in America and around the world during a lot of time.

I'd say France, Spain + the Netherlands when it comes to historical importance, yes. Italy did not exist as a nation yet. When it comes to cultural importance, you could say Italy. But other than that, Italy's always been under either Bourbon or Habsburg power (so Spain, Austria, etc.)
But maybe the trinity of Europe is just Denmark, Norway, Sweden, so Scandinavia. Economically, Scandinavia, Germany, Estonia and the Netherlands are doing well.

There's a few trinities.
Cultural trinity: Italy, Greece, France
Economical trinity: Germany, Russia, France
Power trinity: Russia, Germany, UK
So overall it's Germany, UK/France, Russia, I think.

I forget about Greece, good point. You could even say that without the Greeks the Roman mythology, etc. would have been entirely different, so they definitely had a big role in European history. I intentionally did not mention Italy, since I am studying Italian history. Italy has only been a nation since 1861, and as a nation they haven't achieved much historically since then (not saying they're useless obviously, I love Italy). When it comes to cultural importance, the Renaissance city states obviously played a big role. The term Italy wasn't used much at that time though, that's why I did not mention Italy. I don't count the Roman Empire as Italian history, because of the so-called Migration Period in the first millennium A.D.
