Seriously why USA fucked with Latin America so much?

1. 1350 - Plague wipes out half the population

1. 1901. Federation of the six colonies

3. 1986. Australia Act, many of the last vestiges of empire written out of law

2. Everything to do with us taking part in the Vietnam War
3. 1999. Referendum on a republic fails because the people in charge were pathetically bad and chose the wrong system to replace it
The world is made of dominos in the eyes of the American

>Gallipoli
That was an unprecented shitfest though.

Greatest:
1688 - Glorious Revolution
1706/7- Acts of Union
1815 - Battle of Waterloo

Saddest:
1916 - Battle of the Somme
1942 - Surrender of Singapore
1956 - Suez Crisis (Fuck America)

>1815 - Battle of Waterloo
You guys were there ?

1. 1986 WC won
2. null
3. null

I. 2001 crisis (5 different presidents in just one week, probably a record)
II. ARG-URU-BRA vs PAR war
III. 1982 war

The battle was but it kickstarted an independent Australian identity. That's the only reason it's celebrated desu, no one claims it was a heroic success

I can't think of any great moments in modern history for us, everything has been going down since Waterloo tb h

Verdun?
I would consider that to be great.

>Glorious Revolution
Dutch
>Acts of Union
Scottish
>Battle of Waterloo
Prussian

Absolute fucking state of the Engl*sh

>Glorious Revolution
I put this here because it put an end to any chance of a Catholic Revival.
>Acts of Union
How is the formation of Great Britain not great for England, too?
>Battle of Waterloo
Anglo-Allied forces took most of the brunt of the French forces.

Just saying it's quite telling that the greatest moments in English history are moments in which the English didn't do the heavy lifting.

1. 1816 - Independence declared
2. 1880 - consolidation of the Argentine State
3. 1983 - return to democracy

I. 2001 - crisis (We were at the brink of collapse into anarchy)
II. 1945 - Ascendence of PerĂ³n, initating 40 years of Coups, counter Coups, communist guerillas, genocide of leftist, ending in the war of 1982
III.Losing the WC against germany in 2016 in Brazil.

Well I could have put a number of different things.
Also: We did more more of the "heavy lifting", as you put it, at the Battle of Waterloo.

1. 1917 Vimy Ridge
2. 1922 Sun never sets
3. 1967 Patriation

1. 1943 Dieppe
2. 1916 Passeandale
3. 1991 Oka
