What is the world's bravest nation

[Verbose]

Ahhh, so this is why the British are always getting attacked on so many things

Criticism of nation is always sign it's making a difference. Goes for the British as well as the French or the US, etc.

 

[privatehudson]

Now now, no need to be too agreeing, we must disagree once every page, it's in the rules. So with that in mind, we all know we Brits make a good difference and you Frenchies make a bad one

 

[luiz]

Paraguay, Germany, Israel, Russia and others.

W1lli4m w4LL4c3 is t3h pwnz0r!

True story. That is all.

Except where food and plumbing is concerned, where the French stuff is all good and the British is all bad.

The British can't build proper cities either, or to quote Shane McGowan (London You're A Lady): "Your architects were madmen, / Your builders sane, but drunk".
As a sorta Frenchie-Swede I'm always struck by the great and good fortune the Scandinavians looked to Paris when learning how to build a modern city in the 18th c., and not to London.

Oh, and railroads! That special British nightmare.

 

[Verbose]

That looks very similar to the current EU2 game I'm playing as France. Only replace ottomans with swedes and germans.

Looks like a better fit than you might think.
The traditional alliance of the 16th-17th c. was France-Sweden-Ottomans vs. Hapsburg (Spain, Austria).
Sweden-Ottomans vs. Russia
Britain vs. France

So roughly it's France-Sweden-Ottomans vs. Hapsburg-Britain-Russia

Since when did the USA volunteer for WW2?

Japan attacked them and the Germans declared war upon them...

B4 US declared war on Japan and Germany, there are already volunteers heading to defend england.

Making nice food is for wimps

London may be crap, but some cities here are very nice

Oh, and railroads! That special British nightmare.

Meh, the British are never much cop at what we invent. Look at our football and cricket teams

W1lli4m w4LL4c3 is t3h pwnz0r!

My appologies, but I tend to ignore people writing in what I consider gibberish, can I have this in English?

 

[Fox Mccloud]

Those that said that Koreans, Scots, and Vietnamese I agree with. I still think Poland is the bravest, though.

He said Willie Wallace is darn tooting.

 

[nonconformist]

And I have to go Russia, for the pure "Za Rodina" attitude.

 

[TrailblazingScot]

But, that is hardly special...look at the Spanish Civil War for example where people volunteered from all over the World to join the Internationale Brigades. As a country and as a people, the USA didn't choose to join WW2, they got dragged screaming and kicking into it.

 

[EdwardTking]

My short list is:

Nepalese Ghurkas
Greek Spartans
African Zulus

 

[AceChilla]

The Dutch

Our small country rebelled against the might of the Spanish empire in it's glorydays and we prevailed.

And Vietnam.

 

[Kafka2]

Paraguay, as demonstrated by the Jesuit Wars, the War of the Triple Alliance, and the Chaco War. In fact, they were too brave for their own good and it did them no favours at all.

 

[DAv2003]

Possibly England/Britain. If there's ever been a good fight over the last 1500 years we've been there. We've kicked arse from Europe to Asia (and vice versa ) but we've never gone down without a fight. That and we eat mushy peas which is damn near suicidal in its own right.

Rule Britannia
Marmalade and jam
Five Chinese crackers up your arse
Go bam bam bam bam bam!

Bravery without common sense is pointless yes.

That and we eat mushy peas which is damn near suicidal in its own right.

Don't forget about Tripe and Black pudding

 

[Verbose]

Eel pies?

 

[privatehudson]

Snails

(and yes I have tried them)

 

[LoughlinNR]

i have never heard of anyone eating eel pies, except cockneys in plays and musicals but i dont think they are real, if you think that is bad then you have never had haggis
