Oh my Italian friend, of ye know little how much of a religious fanatical twat of the first degree Cromwell was.
And that’s before we get to the civil wars, Ireland etc.
We hated his cuntish shit so much, when he died we restored the Monarchy..
I like how Garibaldi offered his services to Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil war to beat the confederates. Lincoln refused thinking it would be better that an American general lead their armies. Seeing how shit the North did for the first 70% of the war, that may have been a mistake.
Bismarck as a national hero is a great choice.
First of all he is pretty much credited with the establishment of a German state.
Second of all he was pretty based. What I love most about him was he was afraid of social unrest because he feared that industry workers might rise up because of poor working conditions. So he established the welfare system (that is pretty much in place to this day) to stop the worker movement in its tracks
Nelson was seasick and couldnt really swim… Proper competent islandmonkey.
Fuck Cromwell.
None of these medieval monkeys put Europe above their national interests, maybe they’re all national heroes but they sure aren’t common to all Europeans.
Garibaldi is so based, I’d buy his bathwater stand aside egirls
You just united the kingdom for a brief moment.. FUCK Cromwell’s skull.. he was improving genocidal methods before Hi*ler was a stain on his dad’s pants
Bismark also fought like 15 duels and once someone tried to assassinate him and Bismark jumped out of his carriage and laid the guy out. Top lad.
Garibaldi even offered his service to the 3rd French Republic during the last stages of the Franco-Prussia War and he was the only French commander to capture a Prussian flag.
“You’ve got your Garibaldi, your Bourbon, your Peek Freans Trotsky Assortment…”
Nelson wasn’t a “noble”, he joined the navy as a boy and rose through the ranks and eventually was awarded a title ***because*** he was a “good admiral”, he lost an eye and later an arm and had several other battle injuries.
He’s actually very interesting and deservedly has an impressive statue in a square named after his most famous but fateful victory, Trafalgar Square.
Without googling can you name an admiral from Italy, France or Germany as famous as Nelson?
Personally I still find it kinda funny how Cromwell was so much of a Puritan he stack overflowed into abolishing Christmas like some 4th rate villain in an American fundamentalist christian movie.
Garibaldi was such a chad.
-helped in the independence wars using guerrilla warfare
-went around the world doing side quests just because
-fought in Uruguay earning the nickname “Hero of the Two Worlds”
-conquered southern Italy with a little over 1000 men for the king instead of estabilishing an autonomous Republic because he was tired of that shit (and also because he realized that having two shitty and rival countries in a single peninsula is worse than having one moderately shitty but unified country)
-demanded only his men to be rewarded, not him
-retired on an island with his wife
-died
Meh nelson was born in Ireland, better hero would be Drake, because nothing says British better than a robbing pirate
Aaah the Lord Protector. Lord Protect my dick bitch.
Garibaldi: beloved by everyone (except Marx and ITALIANS)
Where Ruyter
Horatio Nelson was cool. “thank God I have done my duty” are some pretty cool last words. Not sure why Cromwell is on here though. He was pure evil, simple as
‘Eating too much ergot’ Godskolere, tell me you’re a Yank without telling me. Ze kunnen gewoon niks. ‘Murica first!’ be damned.
Garibaldi is why Nottingham Forest FC play in red. It also means that he’s indirectly the reason Arsenal play in red too
Worst take imaginable
Our hero is obviously Falco
French when seeing a mentaly ill or extremely high french girl or old man: ITS A SIGN FROM GOD! AFTER THAT WE EXECUTE THEM FOR BEEING WOMAN.
Nelson was an absolute chad though. Got his arm shot and he went to the surgeon on ship. He wandered over to the surgeon without assistance and calmly ordered him to amputate it. Then just yeeted his arm into a hammock because he didn’t need it anymore.
Boudica
Kills romans. Nuff said.
OK, can someone explain why Garibaldi? The dude was an expert at fighting wars he had no reason to fight in. The dude was a mercenary for free
I lived a couple of years in Ireland as a kid between the ages of 10-15. I remember us reading about Cromwell a lot, not sure what year it was but I got the opinion that he was the worst thing that ever happened to Ireland and basically Hitler.
It wasn’t until years later as an adult that I got more interested in history, that I read up on him and learned about the beheading of Charles I. The movie with Alec McGuinness is great. I’m sure they mentioned that part about Cromwell as well but I don’t think it played a major part in Irish schooling, it took a back seat.
It’s not an unknown fact by any means but it seems to me he’s a bit more famous for the beheading of Charles I internationally than he is for the genocide of the Irish people but I had no idea about that part until I was an adult which is depressing and a little funny.

For Tyrol specifically it’s our lord and saviour, Andreas Hofer.
He led the resistance against the french sponsored Germans.
Garibaldi Is a curious choice as a national hero for a veneto
Cromwell banned football. We can forgive the genocide but banning footie is too far
Now do Austria

For us, put either Karl XII or Gustav II Adolf
