Not Australias fault, it was literally the incompetent Italian tier Brits.
Note how when the Aussies weren't fighting under Brit command in later wars they stopped getting killed en masse. Hmm, almost like they weren't fed to the enemy.

Well if we'd just given peacefully land I dare say we would've slowly shared the fate of the Baltic countries. Remember Molotov-Ribbentrop pact?

They are Baltic and differ somewhat from us. Also sovietland wasn't exactly good for them. But all in all they've the another last clique of Finnic peoples left on earth apart from us. The other ones are extinct or russified. T...t..thanks world ;__;
>>67978562
> 13 losses over the span of nearly three centuries
> T-The British A-Army sucks!
All the land they acquired was through military victory, and given they've acquired more land than any other power ever has or ever likely will, perhaps your cherrypicking is underestimating them,
>>67978805
>>created the largest empire the world has ever seen
Pretty easy thing to do when you conquer empty lands such as Canada and Australia.
Only the colonization of India was remarkable.

Read western magazines (War illustrated) from times of Winter war - so much Finnish butthurt from epic defeat. Modern Finns so proud by sane defeat. Ololo force of brainwashing in action.

Also funny since the French took the fall for cowardice in WWII when they LITERALLY DIED FIGHTING TO LET THE BRITISH RUN THE FUCK AWAY.
Fucking Dunkirk Evacuation, the French heroes heroically make a last stand to let the British cowards "bravely" run away and hide out in their Island until we join.
>>67978833
Those were just PATHETIC losses, mate. There were PLENTY more.
>>67978709
We most often see them as a brother people. But not Finns

>>67978851
We unified too late. By 1861 both France and Britain had huge empires (the latter had mostly empty wasteland that nobody wanted to claim).
>>67978893
I haven't seen Breaker Morant before and I haven't seen Gallipoli since I was a kid and even then I didn't see all of it so I can't really comment. But honestly I liked Kokoda.
Haven't seen Odd Angry Shot, either; I'll check it out though.
>>67978837
None of the land was empty. Even when fighting "Savages" they had to battle them, such as the Zulus.
Britain defeated China in the Opium Wars, Russia in the Crimean War, France numerous times, The Ottomans in Egypt and In WW1, America in the war of 1812, Spain during the Portuguese restoration war.
Empire was far from a walk in the park.
>>67978924
Gotcha, I'll check out Kokoda when I've got time. Got lots of crap on my backlog.
It's pretty great, Aussies in Vietnam, lots of character building and humor, but it's also super on edge when shit gets real, hence "The Odd Angry Shot"
It took me a bit after watching to appreciate it but now I definitely do.
>>67978874
>Also funny since the French took the fall for cowardice in WWII when they LITERALLY DIED FIGHTING TO LET THE BRITISH RUN THE FUCK AWAY.
It's called a tactical retreat, desu

>>67978868
>Says the Russian
I'm not even going to start this discussion. The fact that soviet forces were so inept in attacking unprepared farmers is a victory of it's own kind. Your levee en masse tactics just didn't work against such conditions and such patriotism at that period. Most of finns were just glad the war ended. We didn't celebrate anything nor we do today. Apart from our independence which is totally a different thing. It wasn't even supposed to be a war where we could've even lasted more than few weeks. Stalin and co had bloody palnned victory celebrations in Oulu for victory parades and such. That should tell your brainwashed mind a bit how it actually was and is.
Pretty surprised you Russians are exactly as scummy you were 70 years ago. You're welcome to try again, Raattentie is open.

They evacuated over 100,000 French troops at Dunkirk you moron. It was an allied evacuation, not just a British one.
>>67978934
>Russia in the Crimean War
With the help of roaches and France.
>France numerous times
France won most of the wars against Britain.
>The Ottomans in Egypt and In WW1
As part of a group of nations called the Allies.
>America in the war of 1812
That was barely a war.
>Spain during the Portuguese restoration war
Spain was at war with a fuckton of other nations and fought in the 30 years war prior to that.
This isn't remarkable at all.

Nah cunt, we supplied Russia with 80% of the shit they used during the push to Germany. If it weren't for us giving them gib me dats then shit woulda be different.
Meanwhile we were the main striking force in the Western front, while supplying the Eastern front, while working with Australia in the Pacific theater and basically ended that ourselves.
Not gonna say we won it but fuck, we did the heavy lifting most of the time.
>>67978982
Fair enough, I like to break Britain's balls because of their stance on us in WWII and how they keep bringing up Vietnam when they lost two different wars to farmers.
>>67978805
they cannot. But they understand battles are not only won by fighting but with other manners. That is why they were good.
>>67979015
Yes, shitaly can't into colonization. But still, Britain only fought savages and poo in loos. They didn't conquer the whole of Europe like France or Germany.
Their empire was mostly empty wasteland, much like the Mongol Empire. But unlike the Mongols, who fought a lot of powerful nations, Britain's only success was being good at naval warfare.
>>67979009
Most major European land wars have been in coalitions. I don't think it's fair to brush them aside, just because they shared the victory with others,
>>67979050
They were your Pajeets until Britain took them though ;)
>>67979077
Why would you call your own country shit, mate? I'm sure your ancestors frown upon you...
>>67979145
My ancestors should have fought harder for their country.
>>67979066
Keep telling yourself that buddy. Literally if the Germans weren't fighting an Eastern front they would have walked through the US and pretty much would have claimed the planet. Your Western Assault was so insignificant compared to what was happening in the east.
>>67979160
>My ancestors should have fought harder for someone else's country

>>67978709
Finland wasn't exactly an independent nation either after the wars; the word "Finlandization" exists for a reason.
It's just our politicians had become skilled at giving the political equivalents of really good edging handjobs to avoid being just being bent over and buggered like Estonia was. That afforded us some semblance of "freedom."
>>67979096

80% of equipment, munitions and supplies basically means we were part of the Eastern Front.
Commies have quotes saying they couldn't have done it without us but we did it in our own interests because we're capitalist dogs and need to die etc.

Ukrainian soviets weren't well versed with the cold winter/ Short days. Whole companies could go missing. Also since they lacked any initiative or knowledge of the area plus the infrastructure was so horrible in those forests they had to put entire divisions to follow roads. Which again led to them be easily picked out and encircled/starved,

.. I need to look up South America's role in WWII now.
All I knew was the Japanese gave the Mexicans some guns before America joined, and like 6 Brazilians fought against hundreds of Germans until they ran out of ammo, then bayonet charged, and the Germans dug their graves and wrote in German, "Brave Brazilian Heroes"
