ITT: Historical events that make you feel

The Christmas Truce of 1914 always gets to me. At least a little bit.

>TFW learning about class solidarity the hard way, when its too late.

Only the Germans.

Holdomor makes me feel real sad when i read about it.

Let almost a whole nation die of famine is very fuckin edgy.

So who would be what? I know turkey would be pestilence

Teutoburg.

And they're burning in Hell as we speak.

If that one serb would have eaten his sandwich anywhere else, the world wouldn't have had to deal with the two most atrocious events in written history

Paul HardCastle's song "19"

Capitalism

>implying feels and historical facts can ever co-exist

Britain is Famine.

>22 1 Scipio, when he looked upon the city as it was utterly perishing and in the last throes of its complete destruction, is said to have shed tears and wept openly for his enemies. 2 After being wrapped in thought for long, and realizing that all cities, nations, and authorities must, like men, meet their doom; that this happened to Ilium, once a prosperous city, to the empires of Assyria, Media, and Persia, the greatest of their time, and to Macedonia itself, the brilliance of which was so recent, either deliberately or the verses escaping him, he said:

>A day will come when sacred Troy shall perish,
>And Priam and his people shall be slain.1

>3 And when Polybius speaking with freedom to him, for he was his teacher, asked him what he meant by the words, they say that without any attempt at concealment he named his own country, for which he feared when he reflected on the fate of all things human. Polybius actually heard him and recalls it in his history.

...

Thinking about the Germans and how they'll never learn because of their autism always gets to me.

You know those aren't photos, right?

butt-blasted anglo/loyalist detected.

If the Irish are in hell, then hell is the place to be.

history of my country makes me feel

being the doormat of europe must be pretty harsh ay

>Aliens from across the sea come to your land and begin to conquer everything
>take you hostage after you did your best to appease them and treat them well with hospitality
>manage to drive them out at the cost of your life
>your people die of famine and small pox, only to be then attacked by an army of your former allies and neighbor nations along with the foreigners
>They destroy your crown jewel of a city which even the foreigners say is more magnificent then anything where they came from, and reduce it to rubble
>they build their own cities on top of it and your others
>hundereds of years later, the lakes your empire was built across have been drained and the new city built overtop the ruins of yours is a shithole that doesn't even have clean water to drink and is run by druglords

Wehrmacht capitulation 1945
you will never whitness germania and 1000 year lasting Reich
feels superbad man

Are there any other feel-good moments in history like this?

Fuck GERMany and the g*rmans

1848

Low energy post.

I feel you. I saw Apocalipto too.

I know this is shitposting but Alaric really did nothing wrong, he and Stilicho tried to persuade Honorius into a peace but he'd have none of it

Off topic for another three years but posting it anyway
>propaganda turns neighbor against neighbor
>so much so they slaughter each other like animals
>the AIDS crisis shows itself in the country due to mass rape
>both murderer and murdered will remain neighbors and have to deal with trauma for the rest of their lives
>the new leader who will be forever commended with ending the slaughter rebuilds the country by doing the same shit just to the border of the east
>the governments who refused to intervene keep giving this man money and praise out of guilt for not stopping the slaughter in the first place

When Saladin captured Jerusalem and chivalrously let the Christians go or stay and gave them free passage for pilgrimage where in contrast when the christian crusaders captured Jerusalem they instituted a bloodbath.

The Vietnam War does this for me

>idealistic country just coming off of the Civil Rights Act, a massive economic rally, and still savoring the victory over Germany
>embattled nation fresh from defeating the French
>the US could never accept communist dominion over the South
>the North could never accept a partition of their country
>both sides fight heroically, each knowing in their hearts that they're on the side of good
>war helps to absolutely wreck American society
>over the course of ten years, Americans in cities go from sleeping out on the fire escapes during the summer to putting signs in their car windows that say "no radio"
>demonstrations turn from "I have a dream" to Kent State and the Weather Underground
>heroin makes a permanent appearance in US cities, helped by scores of drug addicts returning from Southeast Asia
>in Vietnam, everyone who supported the US is either killed or forced from their country by the advancing communist forces
>desperate Vietnamese cling to the skids of US helicopters as they take off from the US embassy
>instead of the end of the war bringing peace, it brings a new wave of violence as the US leaves the region, and communist regimes begin to brutalize their new subjects into submission
>the public perception of the American GI goes from the plucky dough boy storming ashore at Normandy to a drug addicted burnout shooting women and children at Mai Lai
>the young men returning home simply take off their uniforms and try to forget everything they sacrificed for

Russia must be Death, and Germany War.

Russia literally can't be anything other than starvation.

>germany disappears
>europe becomes an irrelevant hellhole forever
well ok then

Not really sure what's going on.

>only to be then attacked by an army of your former allies and neighbor nations along with the foreigners
That is one damn huge implication you just implied. A major Totonac uprising with the potential to topple the triple alliance was imminent, Spanish or no.

>propaganda turns neighbor against neighbor
race was simply a justification, Rwanda was nothing but a land grab

>historical events
>posts painting series of events that never happened

lol in 15 years germany will rename itself "new pakistan" anyway

Thank you. That needed to be said... With ofc the US, as the love child of Germany and UK

This.

It's funny how all these butthurt people from irrelevant shitholes blame their Germanic masters despite the fact that they are the only reason that Europe is still a space of prosperity.

These are my desktop backgrounds lmao

fantastic post
What makes me feel is that their leaders knew they were heavily out-numbered and out-gunned and still gave every man the choice to go home to their families, and a lot did

Imagine being one of those who stayed, watching half of your already tiny battalion leave you, and you still choose to fight and die for your nation

Not only that but when they were captured they believed that they rebellion had been utterly crushed and that they were failures

Mad

Is this the Zimbabwean version of Animal Farm?

1912 occupation of the island of Lemnos, off the coast of Turkey in the Aegean sea, by Greek troops during Balkan War I
>Some of the children ran to see what Greek soldiers looked like. ‘‘What are you looking at?’’ one of them asked. ‘‘At Hellenes,’’ the children replied. ‘‘Are you not Hellenes yourselves?’’ a soldier retorted. ‘‘No, we are Romans." Thus was the most ancient national identity in all of history, preserved in isolation, finally absorbed and ended
The first time I read this it hit like a ton of bricks

Is this real?

The Peloponnesian War always gets to.

>Athenians invent democracy
>use it to oppress the rest of Greece

>Spartans like Brasidas spend years away from their homes fighting for the freedom of people they had never meet, just because they believed they had a right to their own independence and a duty to help their fellow Greeks
>Sparta's king betrays everyone that believed in them and forced them to exchange Athenian rule for Persia's

>Corinthians deliver a passionate speech on the obligations of Spartans as the leader of the Greek world
>their city is reduced to a fraction of its power and wealth within a few years of the beginning of the war, all because they spoke out against Athens

>despite going through all of this, the Greeks are still hopeful for the future, but their golden age is already over

Then the Chinese show up and build you a bunch of roads in exchange for all your coal and metal mines.
Surely these guys will be better than the Europeans!

Straight from the source

Man, that is so sad

Perhaps,but Tenochtitlan nor any of the other alliance cities would be been destroyed, (which was the real travesty) they would just take them over and use the existing infanstructure.

That was the mayans, not the azecs

I'd say the Iraq and Afghanistan War but thats too recent.

Marines having to learn the hard way on how brutal fighting the japs would be, can't imagine that sinking feeling these guys must've had when they realized they'd have to kill Every. Single. One of them to finally beat them on those Islands.

The fall of Rhodesia is fucking sad too

Also the Second Schleswig War is pretty sad, the Dutch fought pretty hard but to no avail

Wrong.
I would say France and Britain are the true creators of European wealth and prosperity.

Good

THOSE PAINTINGS ARE NOT OF ROME REEEEEEEEEEE

it was both really, hutu and tutsi were really just class groups that had roots in the tutsi migrating to the area, but the Euros went all autismo and had to say the tutsi were super lightskin ubermensch and fuck everything up. combine that with what was said before and you got the whole thing

Fuck man don't say that

>The generation that was traumatized by the Great War threw their sons into an even more vicious and tragic conflict to settle what they themselves could not

This. In Keegan's "Mask of Command", he discusses how out of the German high command, Hitler and Rommel were pretty much the only men who served in the infantry in the first world war. The rest of the guys were staff officers, logisticians or artillery.

The fact that Hitler had no qualms about sending a whole new generation of Germans to suffer the same horrors he did just goes to show what sort of guy he was.

The disappearance of all the cultural minorities of Europe in terms of language and dialects and ethnical enclaves. And all this in the postwar age of multikulti socialism. Fucking lefties and socialists. Fucking bastardisation of nationalism into something horrible. Fucking commies. Ruining my beautiful Europe centuries in the making and for fucking what!? It used to be so beautiful and organic and and historical. Now it's just all shit.

This makes me feel anger, if you can't tell.

>The disappearance of all the cultural minorities of Europe in terms of language and dialects and ethnical enclaves.
>Fucking bastardisation of nationalism into something horrible.

What do you mean by this? Nationalism in its original form is to be blamed on the first one.

Didn't Hitler quite enjoy WWI because of the sense of cameraderie and purpose it gave him?

Yes he did

They all died put after the war during the spread of socialism and leftist Consensus. This was the point where the perverted nationalism could have been stopped and reversed, but the attitude of the left-influenced intelligentia was still "lol, nationality/race doesn't matter, but we need to be a strong unified state that needs no wars, so lets all start speaking the dominant dialect and homogenise our culture. What, you don't like it? Tough shit, you faschist degenerate. Still holding on to your lesser cultural/ethnic identity and dialect, kek. Just be [dominant nationality] like the rest of us, it's superior anyway. " Fucking shits.

Unperverted nationalism is more like patriotism. Post WWII states somehow put the shittier 'one state, one nation" version into practice.

I never knew i could still feel so much for Americans....

The Carolean Death March.

After Charles XII of Sweden died during the failed invasion of Norway, the Caroleans carried his body all the way back to Sweden.

Imagine how that has to feel. Doesn't help that half of the 6000 men froze to death on the way.

Forgot to add: Sabaton made a breddy gud song about the event.

I am pretty sure that was the 18th-19th century nationalism especially pan-* movements. It did the hard part of the job, unifying fragmented nations into big nation states. The destruction of regional culture itself is not exactely product of ideology though, but rather natural outcome of technological advancements in 20th century and mass-culture.

>Unperverted nationalism is more like patriotism.
Nope, original nationalism is nationalism of French revolution. So exactely the unifying kind.

It was a blood sacrifice not given in vain

Turkey = pestilence
Russia = famine
Germany = war
Britain = death

>edgy superpower hate

kek

>both sides fight heroically, each knowing in their hearts that they're on the side of good

Blood sacrifice is a WW1 meme, it was a redemption by blood

>The assassination of Aurelian

The whole spanish civil war having the fascists win over the 2nd republic which was a gob actually trying even with some failures like trying to appease landlords when ghey were already rebellious, the FREEDOMtm US of A preferring to not liberate it so they can build mil bases. On top of that the king is still in the line appointed by Franco.
