Bravest people ever?

1. Bulgarians = bravest
First of all the during the russo-turkish war 1877-78 we showed extreme bravery towards the turks.

Then in the 1st balkan war despite being out numbered with a majorly volunteer force assembled in the course of two weeks and badly equiped managed to defeat the turkish army almost single handedly.   

Then we stood our ground against the great powers during ww1 and 2 ..... at the eastern front in macedonia near doiran we repelled the british, but the french broke through our lines eventually.
    
We have shown bravery countless times through out the ages.

2. Russians

3. Germans

4. Japanese

5. Mongols

6. Americans

7. Aussies

Italians.

Their brilliant military campaigns should clearly show this

Originally posted by saiwan Originally posted by xi_tujue BTW Kurds are brave but when is the last time they had their own country  not for the past  2 o 3 millenia or am I wrong   We have not had a country in the meaning of today, but we have had many, many "dynasties", that ruled themselfs. The only thing they did when it comes to the Ottoman side, was to supply the sultan with warriors when needed. In iran side they payed taxes, and defended the borders from invaders.   To name a few dynasties: Ayyubids (salaheddine ayyub), Khorshidis, Ardalan, The house of Marwanids, The house of hasanwayhids, The ayyarids, and many many more.

Conquering, winning battles, and being outnumbered has more to do with effectivenss, luck (bad luck) etc.. then it has to do with courage, and it certainly does not tell if a nation or people are brave.  That can only be examined at an individual base.

Turks are the bravest without any doubt

Most hated? Surely not? I dont know any Turk haters who arent Greek....

Actuallly, just wondering but how does founding 16 states and being feared make you the bravest Evren?

*ahem* BritsatGallipoliandDieppe *ahem*

Originally posted by Giannis   No, my friend bravery isn't about great achievments or skills or arts or anything. For me bravery is the unique feeling of a human being to put himself in lethal danger, so others (family,friends,comrades etc) can live longer, better and safer.

"The Turks are the hero of heroes. There is no impossibility for the Turkish Brigade." 

General Douglas MacArthur - United Nations Forces Commander in Chief

"I had heard of the fame of the Turkish soldiers before . The truth is I had not really believed what I had heard. But I now understand that in fact you are the best, and most trustworthy soldiers of the world" 

The commander in chief of the United Nations Forces, General Matthew B. Ridgway

"Courage, bravery and heroism are the greatest virtues which will sooner or later conquer. In this matter, I know no nation superior to the Turks." 

Rose - U.S. Senator

Cheers!

People die in battles. The bravest you are, the better the changes you die first.
