The “Battle of the Porpoises”
One of Brazil’s most glorious war achievements, yet for some reason a very unknown fact, is the Battle of Porpoises, which took place near Gibraltar in WWI.
In November 1918, Cruiser Bahia, under the command of Almirant Pedro Max Frontin, was patrolling the strait when the commandant mistook a shoal of porpoises for the periscope of a german submarine (For those who dont know, a porpoise is a mammal marine creature that looks like a dolphin). Without hesitation, the almirant immediately ordered the officials to fire the torpedoes, which resulted in the complete slaughter of the shoal.
The battle of the porpoises is obviously one of the most unfairly overlooked conflicts in World War One. After all, after seeing the way we massacred a bunch of dolphins, its no surprise that the Germans surrended not long after.

Battle of Midway. also fuck USA
Brandon Turner
Nah, we definitely had worse.
WW1 was generally a clusterfuck, then we had a Civil War and the global war became irrelevant.
Other's were just failed wars, not really humiliating.
Japan war had a pretty stupid episode of Baltic fleet journey though – a skirmish with British fishermen and everything else from that point onwards.

Our young king gets himself killed and leaves his 72 year uncle on the throne and when he dies with no other heirs the spanish rule us for about 40 or so years until we revolt and take our empire back.
Thanks D. Sebastião.

why?
Joseph Peterson
Japanese nationalists like to think of Japan as powerful and important, and the USA as curbing that power unjustly in WWII. They'll tell you that Japan had no choice but to attack because American oil embargos forced them and that the USA was imperialist anyway, so Japan was just defending Asia from foreign empires. Don't mention Korean rape victims to them.

Irish Civil war.
For years the Brits said the Irish were too retarded to rule ourselves and the war wasted a lot of Irish life.
Basically after the last Irish rebellion the British negotiated a treaty.
The main aspects of this treaty was there would no Irish republic but instead an Irish free state with Home rule,the north would not be apart of it and you had to swear an oath to the king.
Michael Collins agreed to this saying the treaty would be a stepping stone to the Republic and finally a united Ireland and there was a huge chimpout.
There was the Pro treaty side lead by Collins and the anti treaty side lead by De Valera.
Father vs Son, Brother vs Brother, Friend vs Friend.
Many people died, Michael Collins was shot in his home county and De Valera said fuck it.
De Valera was voted into Dail, said the oath because it was just words anyways, used the treaty to destroy the treaty itself and established the Republic.
For that brief period of time we proved the Brits right since immediately after we got some control over our country we went straight to war, they left an obvious way out in the treaty because they didn't really give a shit about Ireland besides the North.

the failed destruction of the ludendorff bridge at the end of ww2
>important bridge over the rhine
>german army is told to destroy it to prevent he allies from crossing it
>they use shitty second rate tnt that fails to do any damage
>then they try to destroy the bridge with artillery
>miss every time
>use frogmen to try and destroy the bridge frrom below
>they get spotted and killed
>bring up one of the last large mortars to destroy it
>mortar fires one shot, which misses, and breaks down
>they bring in the last planes they have to bomb the bridge
>they all miss the target or get shot down
>start kamikaze attacks against the bridge
>does no damage
>they fire a bunch of v2 missiles at the bridge, they all miss and kill like 1 american soldier
at some point hitler just had enough and had everyone involved executed and by that time the americans had moved a large part of their army over. ironically at some point the bridge then collapsed from the weight of the americans, killing more of them then all the aforementioned attacks.

No side won,they just stopped fighting after Collins was shot and there was a general election.
The Anti Treaty side became the majority party of the government.

None, we won every military conflict we ever had and when we abolished our army we retired undefeated. Even so, 7 years after we abolished our army we were invaded by Nicaragua and Venezuela and defeated them.

Nice quads, but the chance of him being Japanese is extremely low. Treat all Jap flags with suspicion.

Can't think of anything.
You could say September 1939 but we stood no chance right from the start as Germany had 4 times the numbers, 10 times equipment and 100 times preparation of ours.
