Napoleon sending in the Guard at Waterloo.

I dont understand this one. Reference?

Destruction of libary of Alexandria.
Death of Phyrrus and his struggles

as a croat born 15 years after rhodesia fell i really shouldn't be upset about it, but fuuuck

During the Battle of Culloden, Charles Edward Stuart basically froze up at the start of the battle and didn't issue any orders, fleeing with his cavalry once half his army had been cut down by artillery.

Supposedly the last thing he heard as he left the field was Lord Elcho there saying "Run, you cowardly Italian."

Charles was born in Italy, he had passable English but didn't speak Scots or Gaelic.

What was the famous quote here?

The Cambodian Killing Fields is probably the historical event that's fucked me up the most

Moncey crying at the return of Napoleon's ashes : "Now, let's go home to die"

>A great man this Anarchist Durruti, a born leader and teacher of men, thoughtful and tender comrade all in one. And now Durruti is dead. His great heart beats no more. His powerful body felled down like a giant tree. And yet, and yet--Durruti is not dead. The hundreds of thousands that turned out Sunday, November 22nd, 1936, to pay Durruti their last tribute have testified to that.

>No, Durruti is not dead. The fires of his flaming spirit lighted in all who knew and loved him, can never be extinguished. Already the masses have lifted high the torch that fell from Durruti's hand. Triumphantly they are carrying it before them on the path Durruti had blazoned for many years. The path that leads to the highest summit of Durruti's ideal. This ideal was Anarchism--the grand passion of Durruti's life. He had served it utterly. He remained faithful to it until his last breath.

People meant what they said back in those days. God damn.

‘Soldiers, I am your emperor. Know me! If there is one of you who would kill his Emperor, here I am’.

Fourth Crusade and Constantinople's final fall to the turks. I would have loved to visit it with all the palaces, churches, mosiacs, and statues intact.

Death of a hero who could have united his country more than 400 years before it happened. We truly could have been a real superpower.

Poltava never should have happened :(

Also, I never side with Muslims, but I can't imagine how sad this must have felt for en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_XII_of_Granada

after the fall of Granada, the last Muslim state in Spain in 1492 fell:

Legend has it that as he went to exile, he reached a rocky prominence which gave a last view of the city. Muhammad XII reined in his horse and, viewing for the last time the Alhambra and the green valley that spread below. The place where this allegedly took place is today known as the Suspiro del Moro, the Moor's sigh. He grieved his loss and continued his journey to exile with his mother.

Just imagine a Europe united under the Habsburgs, from Budapest to Lisbon, from Seville to London

They never wanted to conquer England. They just wanted to put a catholic monarch.

>cries about the islamic conquest of persia
>cries because Julian dies like a bitch when he was trying to conquer persia

French failed invasion of Russia during the Napoleonic War. Not really because it led to the fall of Napoleon, but more due to the loss of human life.

If you hadn't provided context for that painting I would have assumed it was Franz Joseph I

Hallo Ronny...

Nothing wrong with expansion, but was it really necessary to destroy the natives already there?

The Battle of Visby. A lot of the dead were lame, old, or too young to be fighting in that kind of conflict.

Burgundy is my countryfu

I really like this image. You can see he has his finger in his mouth, he could bite that clean off if he wanted to, but he looks like he's smiling. As if to say "heh heh heh, another day another have head used as bowling ball would be use ey dymitr?"

"It was a fucking prank, bro!"

I'm seriously wondering how I haven't heard of this before. Never trust the Eternal Afghan!

>Just imagine a Europe united under the Habsburgs

I, too, am a fan of social stratification, economic decay, and a lack of innovation.

Pizarro was a straight up murderous cunt

I know it's hard to believe but everyone murdered everyone once upon a time, even whites murdered whites!

Shocking i know to think that when people wanted new lands they killed whoever was there.
