Who were the "Saitama's" of history?

Who were the "Saitama's" of history?

As in, people or nations that everyone shat on without realizing they were in the presence of something far greater than they could ever be?

(No "Hitler")

Probably that random dockworker from Poland that ended communist rule

Hitler.

USA 1776-1941

ethnic irish.

Japan was repeatedly underestimated throughout the 20th century.

J-jews?

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeEEE33EEEEE

My vote goes to the Franks. Circa 3/400 AD, they were just another Germanic tribe at the fall of Rome. Three hundred years later, they would become the inheritors of the West.

Though my second choice goes to the Arabs. For nearly 300 years they were tribal pawns fighting proxy wars for the Romans and Persians. They would rise up and take the whole of the Middle East by storm when Muhammad came.

Mongols

Canada

HP Lovecraft comes to mind.

lol wut

steppe tribes have always been some of the most feared and demonized people on the Earth. Romans thought they would bring the apocolypse, the Chinese built the biggest fucking wall ever, everyone was scared of them from the moment they first rode in and starting raining arrows

back when Genghis rode, he took over a big chunk of northern China and then told some Turkish Shah, Muhammad II, to submit to him.

Muhammad II had never heard of these gook faggots before so he kind of laughed at him and killed his messengers. You can kind of guess what happened next.

>zero unique culture.
>relies on other countries for protection

yeah no

I love when /pol/ users shit on Canada for "not having a culture".

Canada is a mosaic, and we're proud of it actually.
