Not OP, but I think he just means historical events that seem so odd (such as American troops fighting in China during the Boxer Rebellion like in OP's pic) to the average person that if history were a video game, they would be included as DLC for shits and giggles.

>Revolution happens
>Main Russian and German armies between them and their homeland
>Reds order them to give up their weapons
>"Fuck that"
>They seize control of a train station
>Keep going east and capturing more
>Eventually they control most of the Trans Siberian railroad
>In a running battle with the reds the entire time
>After a year and this giant Odyssey, they make it to British, American and Happened
Japanese controlled Vladivostok
>Get on a ship and go home
>Oh yeah, they basically captured the Russian treasury

I think it's important to note that the czechoslovak legion (as some point gaining so much popularity it reached 40,000 soldiers made up of worldwide soldiers) first gained the public eye due to it defeating a larger austrian army.
The russians weren't exactly allowed to have foreign armies but they did anyway (like others) and in the battle of Zborov their czech legion (with permanent radio contact to Masaryk in Moscow) gained so much fame that the entire world basically went "who are these guys?...whatever give them a country" but the allies decided that when Russia signed peace, that the czechs must fight on, and so they set off to Vladivostok in order to cross the pacific in order to cross Canada or Panama and then cross the atlantic and fight the germans in France.
Before half of them got to Vladivostok the Russian Revolution happened and they were now traveling through a country they had not signed any right of passage with, which happened to be a country cracking down on anyone not taking it up the ass by Lenin and so they stopped the legionnaires (in Omsk i believe) and demanded immediate disarmament and surrender. Some sources say this started with a scuffle and a bit of banter in a pub i don't know but point is the czechs got deffensive about their beer and retaliated.
When those who were already in Vladivostok heard there was a conflict rising they occupied the city they were waiting in and then stole a train named Orlik to go and save their brothers in uktuk-uktuk ass fuck out of nowhere and found that those were faring relatively well so they attacked a bunch of towns, got some medals from the americans and the japs (who joined the war precicely to save the czechs in "need") and then accidentally got the entire Siberian orthodox conservatives to join them and ultimately led to a bloody civil war...
They stole a bunch of cool shit tho and now it's in our palace

Operation Panzerfaust
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Panzerfaust
>The Maikop Raid
>In early August 1942, a Brandenburger unit of 62 Baltic and Sudeten Germans led by Adrian von Fölkersam penetrated farther into enemy territory than any other German unit. They had been ordered to seize and secure the vital Maikop oilfields. Disguised as men of the dreaded Soviet security police, the NKVD, and driving Soviet trucks, Fölkersam's unit passed through the Soviet front lines and moved deep into hostile territory. The Brandenburgers ran into a large group of Red Army deserters fleeing from the front. Fölkersam saw an opportunity to use them to the unit's advantage. By persuading them to return to the Soviet cause, he was able to join with them and move almost at will through the Russian lines.
>Operating under the false identity of NKVD Major Truchin, based in Stalingrad, Fölkersam explained his role in recovering the deserters to the Soviet commander in charge of Maikop's defences. The commander not only believed Fölkersam, but the next day gave him a personal tour of the city's defenses. By August 8, the German spearheads were only 12 miles away and the Brandenburgers made their move. Using grenades to simulate an artillery attack, they knocked out the military communications centre for the city. Fölkersam then went to the Russian defenders and told them that a withdrawal was taking place. Having seen Fölkersam with their commander and lacking any communications to rebut or confirm his statement, the Soviets began to evacuate Maikop. The German spearhead entered the city without a fight on August 9, 1942.

Kek. It's an interesting story but no one was even shot. Does more weed go into the U.S. from Canada or vice versa?
>>2494666
Basically rural BC produces huge amounts of pot and sells it to the USA
They even have tunnels. It's almost Mexico tier, but it's just pot, there's very little violence, and the Canadians aren't trying to immigrate
I just remember like some stories about smugglers on boats at night and sometimes something would go wrong. I wasn't there very long and I was working for the government so I didn't hear a whole lot about it

>hollyclap will never make a film about this
That time the Gauls invaded the Balkans and Greece, defeated the Greeks and Macedonians at Thermopylae, and some of them settled in Anatolia.
>>2496098
It is said by Arrian that Alexander met with two envoys of the Balkan Celts shortly after subjugating Thrace (this was long before their invasion of Anatolia of course). He asked them "What do you fear most?". He expected them to say "You, my lord", but their reply was "The sky falling on our heads."

Not-so-fun fact: when the Commies took Czechoslovakia after WW2 they hunted down the surviving Czech Legion veterans and imprisoned many of them (at least, those that ze Germans hadn't already got to when THEY took Czechoslovakia in 1938).
The Entente interventions in Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, and Vladivostok during the Russian Civil War.

>To try and restore some semblance of order and battle readiness, Rozhestvensky ordered gunnery practice. None of the destroyers scored any hits on a stationary target. Of the battleships, the flagship scored a single hit which was on the ship towing the target. A destroyer squadron ordered to sail in line abreast formation scattered during exercises, as the officers had not been issued with new code books. Seven torpedoes were fired - one of which jammed, three swung off target, two chugged slowly and missed the target altogether and one went round in a circle causing ships to scatter in panic. For good measure the "Kamchatka" sent a signal saying she was sinking - on investigation this turned out to be nothing more than a cracked steam pipe in the engine room.

>>2498269
>>2498396
This is the secondary/peripherary theaters of the napoleonic wars.
Though this is misleading in its mention of the peninsular war as not producing any french casualties.
The peninsular war was an early guerilla campain (and the first extensive use of the rifle regiment) to restore the spanish to sovereignty after napoleon had subjugated them. The french garrison forces were roundly defeated but the comaritively small guerilla force was forced to retreat up the entire iberian peninsular when napoleon himself led his entire Grand Armee in a counter offensive.
>>2498269
>>2498396
>>2498595
Oh and the reaosn its considered an Anglo-Spanish victory is because all the expedition objectives were met, spain was restored (and against napoleon) while heavy losses were inflicted on the garrisons, the first French relief force and the Grand Armee. The Peninsular war was taught in my history class as the turning point in the napoleonic wars, though im of a different opinion nowadays.

fuck those guys, disgusting traitors with no honour - handed over their commander - admiral Kolchak to save their lives and sabotaged railroads during retreat so their allies from Polish corps would have been killed off by Bolsheviks, just to have a little bit higher own chances of survival

>Wermacht and U.S. fighting side by side against the SS
I was immediately aroused
>>2502328
nah fuck off dumb ass.
The czechs did all of the heavy lifting while kolchak sat on his ass. The czechs were so close to saving the Romanovs but the bolsheviks got to them first and at some point decided finally that this was not their war (which it really wasen't) and made a deal to be able to finally leave that dumb country.
Traitors with no honour are the Russians who had enjoyed the work done by czechs and the French/English who sold an entire country's population to a tyrant and then were saved by said populations and never returned the favour of liberation.
