What was the greatest betrayal by one person or people in history? I am not asking for the most infamous like pic related, but rather a betrayal which the entire nation of the betrayed was damaged, beaten, or forever changed.

Josephus

I only knew of him as a historian, I wasn't aware of his personal history.
>He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in 67 CE to Roman forces led by Vespasian after the six-week siege of Jotapata. Josephus claimed the Jewish Messianic prophecies that initiated the First Roman-Jewish War made reference to Vespasian becoming Emperor of Rome. In response Vespasian decided to keep Josephus as a slave and interpreter. After Vespasian became Emperor in 69 CE, he granted Josephus his freedom, at which time Josephus assumed the emperor's family name of Flavius.
>Flavius Josephus fully defected to the Roman side and was granted Roman citizenship. He became an advisor and friend of Vespasian's son Titus, serving as his translator when Titus led the Siege of Jerusalem. Since the siege proved ineffective at stopping the Jewish revolt, the city's destruction and the looting and destruction of Herod's Temple (Second Temple) soon followed.
Damn, he is like a reverse Soros.

Ironically, the greatest betrayal in recent times was these two, which is ironic since they are also Jewish. They pretty much condemned the entire world to suffer through the Cold War and a possible nuclear holocaust.

Nope. It was a serious betrayal but the Ruskies would've developed the bomb sooner or later.

This. Trump colluded with Russia. He is a traitor and will be tried for treason.
