What is the most historically pathetic nation when it comes to fighting wars?
Italy
I'd say the egyptians have to get a mention for having a 2000+ year old empire, that was the only nation to survive the bronze age collapse, then get conquered by alexander and not amount to anything ever again.

Incas were stronk though.
Truthfully. The Irish. The only successful conquests they've done in their entire history was briefly holding onto bits of Dyfed, Wirral, Mann and western Scotland. The rest of their history has been them getting absolutely demolished by their neighbours, be they English, Norwegians etc.

What the fuck are you even talking about?
Firstly you seem to confuse the Scottish as Irish
Secondly Ireland was never united.
Thirdly, the Norwegians were driven out of Ireland. In fact, the King that had the most chance of ever uniting Ireland was killed in the last battle to drive the Norwegians out of Ireland (though the Irish still won the battle).

Incas are more to Peruvians what Romans are to Italians.

Pretty sure the English didn't conquer Ireland at all.
The Normans on the other hand were invited into the Kingdom of Leinster to fight on behalf of the deposed King Diarmaid.
Diarmaid was in good relations with the Normans and their current King.
It was a very messy situation, to say the English conquered Ireland is a joke. Many Welsh levies came into Ireland with the Normans, so you could say it was a French-Welsh conquest.

Dude, even if you counted it wouldnt make England any less pathetic
France won tons of European wars by itself (sometimes alone against coalitions), so did Spain, Prussia won many 1vs1 wars in the 19th century, even Austria won some
And then England has Ireland and.....some stuff dating back to 1066?
Italy is more like the worst of the best, the weakest of the Great Powers so I wouldn't call it pathetic, even they have major victories over the other Great Powers whereas a nation like Mexico has only won 1 war ever since declaring independence, and that was a civil war with French support.
Worst in Europe is definitely Poland or Austria.

It isn't stressed enough just how absolutely incompetent Mexico had to be to fail to crush the Texas rebellion.
They had about 10x the size of the """"army""" that Texas had at the start of the rebellion, they were more equipped, much better trained, and fighting a war where there was nothing considerable really to hinder logistics. They lost purely from the sheer stupidity of their generals.
After coming off a string of a few terribly unimpressive early victories, in what should have become a moment where Santa Anna reflected on why the hell are we not just simply pounding the ever-living shit out of these scrubs, he instead becomes oddly emboldened by his embarrassing conquests, and sits the entirety of his effective fighting force and all the generals in foreign territory utterly undefended and without even a proper scouting perimeter believing that the Texans were too incapable of raising an attack force big enough to challenge it anyway.
Meanwhile, Sam Houston takes a rag tag bunch of ill-equipped volunteers who's ranks had swelled due to the news of the Alamo, and launches a surprise attack on the professionally trained Mexican army and in a decisive battle that would last only 18 minutes, to end a war that was only 6 months long, would essentially single-handily mark the start and be the main reason for 200 years of persistent failure and continual land loss for Mexico.

China didn't lose to India at least in 1962

There was a minor skirmish 5 years later but then the Indiabs were able to inflict more casualties on the Chinese and repel them back.

And they were all entirely useless except Japan and Finland to an extent.

Meanwhile the Allies had the 4 biggest Empires of the world on their side. Well 3 if you don't count the french.
>>2268775
I dont think even the ancient Egyptians were particularly good at war, they just actually had an army when others didn't, barring Hittites who could never actually conquer them.
>>2275775
>Implying India was a single state to make that assertion.
India was more like a civilization where multiple independent political states with different subculture but within the same civilizational realm thrived.
So at any time while some reason/kingdoms were conquered others still remained independent. Not a single ruler foreign or local was able to unite complete India at any time. The closest were the Mauryas and mughals and even them couldn't conquer the southern kingdoms.
Plus many invaders like Huns, Greeks, Arabs were defeated/repelled while others likes sakas, kushans were completely assimilated and indianized and even others like turko-mongols were genetically assimilated while being able to retain a semblance of their culture.
>>2275820

>>2275915
How can you list both India and Pakistan in tbe same breath ? If you used pre colonial as reference point Pakistan shouldn't be there and if you used post colonial history India shouldn't be there.
Btw I'm from part of South India that has historically repelled every single invasion and only the Brits were able to defeat us. See able for why including pre colonial India as one political entity is madness. India before 1947 can be referred to a single unit only civilizationally. Not politically.
