Easter Rising.
Some of the lads in that post office likely had no idea that freedom would eventually come, and that their rising was arguably the spark that set the country alight in rebellion.

Most of them were imprisoned, terrified, and executed. As far as they knew, they'd never see their families again for sake of an idea.

Might not be a popular one, but:

>be black Zimbabwean
>head filled with propaganda, fight for independence from Rhodesia and colonialists
>win
>get sent off to fight in another bloody and pointless war, this time against fellow Africans
>come back to find the government is broke and won't pay you
>more propaganda convinces you that taking back white-owned land will solve all your problems
>join a mob, attack the farm owners, also attack the black workers who must be traitors
>after they've been driven off you realise you've got no idea how to run the farm
>food supplies are running low
>police (who'd turned a blind eye when you initially took the land) casually turf you off in favour of some local politician who backed the government
>foreign powers send aid, but this is only used by the regime to shore up its support base
>look for work, the economy's crashed and there is none
>realise you've been used and discarded and done terrible things for the sake of people who don't care about you and won't help you now
>starve to death alongside your family

>some first-world leftie makes a Facebook post celebrating Mugabe as a symbol of black power and dismissing all criticism of him as racist

>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.

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

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

>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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
