What's each country's respective Alamo?
America had Alamo (no shit), Brits had Rorke's Drift, Japanese had Shiroyama, Chinese had pic related as sad/depressing as that is.
Does each country have it's own grand stand few vs. many fight to the end battle?

I want the most famous last stand or rather few against many battles for each country country.
I found Korea's
Parker Young
Yeah the whole winter war was basically what I'm looking for.
Also I found something for Beaners to be proud of.

the last decisive battles of the continuation war are criminally underrated in popular history though, these weren't against untrained, underequipped ukrainians but against men who had spent the last few years defending their homelands against the germans, and who had a ridiculously large material advantage

these battles made the soviets give up the idea of making finland a soviet satellite state, and shift their focus on reaching berlin first
Liam Ortiz
Pictured, it came down to children to make the last stand.

>Holding a greataxe, this anonymous Norse barbarian battled back the entire English army for over an hour until a clever foe floated a barrel in the river below, paddled under the bridge and stabbed the Norseman in the groin from below, bringing him down. The Battle of Stamford Bridge is widely regarded as the last great stand of the Viking empire.
Caleb Barnes
For the brits they had the siege of Khartoum and the battle of Kandahar(?)
Bentley Rivera
Sorry meant the retreat from kabual and the last stand at Gandamak
William Brown

No offense, Ivan, but probably for the obvious reason. Doesn't really help moral or boost pride.

The Charge of the Light Brigade is better
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.
Luis Moore
almost every pacific island garrison of ww2 was like pic related

It'd have to be Gallipoli.
Xavier Hill

Can't really count it as just Australian when even more French people died in that battle than Aussies.
Zachary King

Holy fuck Quinlan was based, why don't more people know about this?

Battle of Vítkov, where a few peasants stood against a crusade. We aren't such pussies as Amerifats though and we won.
Adam Thompson
Wtf you almost always had more losses than kills as a defender in an AMPHIBIOUS INVASION.
Joseph Morales

Jordan Taylor
we're talking about ""people"" who eat dogs pierre, why are you surprised?
Jayden Nguyen
When you're outnumbered 5 to 1, massively outgunned and underequipped, being on the defence is barely an advantage anymore.
Ryder Jenkins
Pretty sure Netflix is making a movie about it
Juan Foster
Well, we had 2 world wars.

That was a lot of ryssä sacrificed to just force funland out of the war and totally not try to conquer it and either incorporate it into the union or turn it into a satellite state :^)
