There are plenty of glorious moments to choose from but I'll pick the anti-polish uprising of 1612. I choose it simply because it shows that Russia can only be saved if the people unite.

Count Pozharsky(the guy in the armor) is wearing Plate mail because he is from a noble family. Your average Russian wouldn't be able to afford that.
Pic related is what our regular infantry looked like in the late 16th- early 17th century.

>>3132951
I've seen a lot of Eastern Europeans wear alternatives to Cuirasses. Wouldn't it be more effective to wear musket resistant armour such an important person?

>>3132951

>>3132968
To be fair, we don't really know what kind of armor he wore. Pic related is also a common depiction of Pozharsky. You can clearly see a solid plate which covers his torso. Also, you have to remember that Pozharsky didn't charge in with the troops. He commanded them from a distance and was relatively safe.

Fuck wars, there's nothing glorious in them.

>>3134710
It's throught the wars that nations are built.

>>3134769
Occasionally, but mostly destroyed. Also, it doesn't mean they should be glorified.

>>3134785
What do you mean by occasionally ?
Whole Erutpe was built through centuries of war.

Why shouldn't it be ?
What should be glorified then ?

>>3134792
I don't think Europe would be in a worse position now if not for centuries of wars, desu. If anything, it was built despite centuries of wars, not because of them.

>>3134834
War is a mean, the nation, the end.
I really that war was an necessery thing to grow up as a people and as a nation.

Basically, all of our technology came because people faired the war, so, despite the fact that war isn't something nice for us, which was never been by the past until the first ww, it's something that helped civilisations to grew up and evolve, as we wish or not.

>>3134834
Europe was built up because of wars. Sure, every now and then you get a 30 years war or something similar that devastates the population of an area, but much of the smaller wars & colonial conflicts provided a bit of pressure for the nations, now competing in earnest, to innovate, either in military tech or in economics / administration (to help fund the war over again). With the spread of such innovations around Europe as a whole, its nations were able to rise up to be the powerhouses they once were.

In fact, you could argue that the devastation to populations through war / famine actually helped Europe advance, with low skill workers being in higher demand, and thus industrialization (for example) occurring to cut costs.

It was pretty much a fight between Tlaxcaltecs against already battle worn Mexicans, and Im not an indigenist since I love the spanish empire, its just that it wasnt a victory like those against the moors where even when outnumbered 300 against 1k-2k Spaniards managed to btfo.

An ambush? The Spaniards undersuplied and with barely any allies buttfucked the Aztecs at Otumba. Native allies are a revisionist meme. If the allies won the war alone they wouldn't have left a bunch of foreigners to take over control over their land .
Spaniards were just way too advanced for the Aztecs

Even though many of my countrymen would declare World War 2 as Finland's most glorious moment.
I however think our greatest moment was the parliamentary elections of 1907 when first in Europe, everyone from men to women, from the richest to the poorest, from the farmers to the laborers, had the right to vote and run to parliament.

Man I love the fucking Balkans, I swear every word I hear in this song ( which is beautiful by the way) is like it's sung in my language.

>GDR citizens who had already began fleeing to the west swarmed through as the wall fell looking for a better life
>The West treated them relatively poorly (and continues to do so)
>All those in the NVA are given the middle finger and abandoned despite literally stopping WW3 by allowing Die Wende to occur peacefully.

Fast forward to today, we see a reunified Nation lead by shysters that hates itself and wants to project that self hatred onto others. The GDR wasn't perfect, far from it. But at least they weren't like the absolute joke of a nation we see today.
