How dare you speak on history? That is soon to be illegal!
The Spanish had these last stands all the time and yet you make so many like them of Eastern Europeans almost like you took from some of the Spanish last stands, but over look the siege Castelnuovo in 1539 and instead do one against the Spanish and their atrocities hahahahaha! What a truly selective and politically correct historian you are.
Spartans : 300 men
Sikhs : Hold my Signal equipment
Samurais: are we a joke to you?
Spartans: no I just forget.
Haha love this. I am a sikh and it broke my heart to hear how the last transmission from the youngest Sikh lad was that he was going to fight now.
@Terry Blanton the 300 Spartans covered the retreat of the other Greek forces and also there were like 7000 Greek soldiers i think and the Spartans also held there forces off for over a day tirelessly killing thousands of Persians
@Terry Blanton mate I said they lost the battle. They just held them off for the other Greek forces to retreat until the Persians encircled them. And anyone there is so many accounts of the battle of thermopile that not even historians can point to an we final answer. And anyway muscle fatigue is different when you've been trained for the same thing since you are seven. ( You know the agogue). The 300 movie was obviously fake no men alone could literally push elephants off of cliffs and anyway there is no historic evidence of the Persians using elephants around that time. And on the contrary emus are fucking smart those little devils will sneek up on you at any moment and snatch the food from my hand.
@Terry Blanton yeah mate I think you should use that mouth somewhere it is needed you get angry and dirty over a discussion which not even historians can put together.

Saragarhi is the only instance where the entire unit was awarded the highest British honor...in the history of British Military Tradition
Edit: Honours
VC was highest British honor but reserved only for British so Indians were given Indian order of merit only
@@himanshugautam3405 It's not spelt honor it's honour. Plus the British have not, do not, and never will award any medal for honour. The British award military medals for either valour or service.
@@paulhowson1863 "Honor" is how people in America (like me) spell "honour". Just a heads up, since some English speaking countries have different ways of spelling the same words.
@@himanshugautam3405 Actually the VC is equivalent to what those brave men got, their families were donated land, and parliament held 2 minutes of silence for the Sikhs...
Adam de souza glad to hear that
As a Sikh that also serves in the Canadian army, I can't help but shed a manly tear at the last story, they've made it into a movie now.
What's the name of said movie?
@@geewhiz5926 Kesari
It's an excellent movie. It can be found on some free movie sites on the internet. Being a movie made in India there are a couple of song and dance numbers of course but to the directors credit it actually works. They don't take away anything in any way from the heroic narrative.
All those should be perfect stories to turn into movies. But we've got another Transformers And yet another Fast And Furious..... damn.
Exactly man there's so much stories that can be made off TRUE events from history. But they keep making these stupid cliche ass movies. For fuck sakes when was the last time you seen a world war ONE movie? I mean come on...
Rome Dep Exactly. The last one I remember was one called "Death Watch" it was about a ghost/demon who killed soldiers in their trenches, wicked fucked up shit. But you have a point, and we all deserve better
Oswaldo Lopez well westerners never make a movie on india bro.....they only make biased news on BBC n al zezeera
watch out for the release of the movie on Battle of Saragrahi which is undershooting in India
If it's any consolation, this was made about the Siege of Szigetvar using the TotalWar engine and a heavily modified game known as Medieval 2: Total War. I believe it was done mostly by historians and mirrors the account of the last stand here; this one was a little slow and depressing but so was the siege by all accounts. Check out their channel as well since they also replicated other pertinent historical battles with a meticulous and resounding accuracy, just look for the ones with English subtitles so you know what's going on. I can't recommend them enough.
All the best!

Saragarhi is an example of why I have always admired the Sikhs.
the 21 are still remembered in so many sayings and poetries.
its a fake story. the so-called saragarhi "battle " was a british-made fairy tale to boost
the moral of their sikh slave soldiers. here are some facts about this
british propaganda bed-time story:
---about 70 afghan tribal warriros (not 10 000 like the british fairy
tale claimed) attacked a british outpost occupied by 12 sikh puppet
soldiers who served the british east india company and who tried to
defend the outpost for the sake of their british masters.
---the afghans, logically, could not even gather an army of several
hundred, let alone "thousand" men due to lack of reccourses in men and
wealth, because afghans were not organized as regular state army but
were simple tribes men. the whole orakzai tribe did not even number 10
000 men. yet this british fairty tale speaks of "10 000 orakzai
fighters". lol (btw: the british were known to extremely exagerate
opponent numbers)
- and even if the afghans had the
ability to have gathered more than at least 1 000 troops, it would not
be logical to concentrate them on one single outpost. after all some
decades earlier, the afghans managed to conquer the whole punjab and
sindh region with less then 14 000 regular troops, thus ruling over its
inhabitants, including the sikhs. so how would they need to take "10
000" men to take one outpost??
---the sikhs slave fighters, who were on ther service to their british
masters, did not fight the afghans in an conventional battle or in an
open field. rather they barricaded themselfes in their outpost and had
the huge advantage of modern british mashine guns, with which they could
use the advantage of mass shooting from the distance. thus, they
managed to possibly kill tens of afghans and postpone the capture of the
british base for some hours.
- after the the sikhs were
killed, the sikhs in british controlled territories were naturally sad
about the useless sacrifice of their sikh people. and due to more and
more sikhs defeats and casualties, they started to question the purpose
of fighting for the sake of their british masters. so therefore , in
order to boost the morale of their sikhs slave warriors, the british
invented this fake story of "10 000" afghans against whom the sikhs
"fought coragiously",
we must ask, if the sikhs were so "brave", why did they not fight for
their own freedom, instead of licking the shoes of their british masters
and fighting for their sake?? the british easily conquered the sikhs.
but the british were crushed like rats against the afghans. in the first
anlgo-afghan war, the whole british combat army was annihilated by the
afghan warriros. so how come the weak sikhs could fight "bravely"
against the afghans (who were stronger than the british), but not fight
"bravely" against the british for the sake of their own freedom?
all in all, the sikhs were never a serious match for the afghans. dont
belive these british fake stories
Do you have any sources to back up that claim, AfghanHearts?
NALUA WAS A SJAAT KUTTRA WHO DIED IN PESHAWAR
Havar Eriksen do you have any source for that story? If you claim such an event happened, the burden of proof is on you. is there any reliable historical record of such a sikh battle? can you show any?
What are you going on about? I have not made any claims for any story in this comment thread. I simply asked about any sources backing up the story that AfghanHearts here put forward. Since he put forward a new story, the burden of proof is on him.
There's a reason I've liked every Sikh I've met: absolutely kind and absolutely fearless. Good qualities in a human being.
Zrinski's speech before the final charge: “Let us go out from this burning place into the open and stand up to our enemies. Who dies, he will be with God. Who dies not, his name will be honored. I will go first, and what I do, you do as well. And God as my witness - I will never leave you, my brothers and knights!”
Mad lad... mad lad...
The most heroic quote that would make a child cry
If all Zrinski’s men died, who exactly wrote that speech down?
actualy only 3 men survived and were let free in exchange for money
The pronunciation of Zrínyi is soo wrong... type it in google translator
Krisztián Márton - Zrinyi is the Hungarian version of Zrinski, originally a Croatian family name, though several family members became more famous in Hungary. But I guess you knew that.

Dudes wanted to leave a solid impression, why take it away from em. A Croat too. Their message was that they/we were bros with Hungarians at that point in time
Yes I read about it on national geographic magazine years ago. But after I never heard about it again till today.😞
I pay homage to Sergeant Isher Singh who commanded the valiant Sikh soldiers. A heroic stand. I salute the brave.

Might I add that the battle of hastings was fought after having been force marched 360 miles north, fighting a battle, and then being forced marched 360 miles south, in just 10 days (to counter the Norman threat before they got to London), only to fight once more against the Normans, a considerable feat considering they had armour and equipment to carry too. 36 miles a day after fighting a battle whilst carrying full armour, is something that shouldn't be overlooked...
the vikings came to rape and pillage but the normans came to steal yo girl
Robothuck considering what they did with Britain afterward, they didn*t fuck her at all, in fact, they treated her like a lady!
Whistling Ferret Fucking Normans, reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
Ford Prefect Fucking SJW Normans, with their abolition of domestic slavery, their improvement of law, who the fuck do they think they are!? REEEE!
Legend. 720 miles (360 + 360) in 10 days equals an average pace of 3 miles per hour from start to finish, 24 hours per day. That doesn't count how long the battle lasted, which would increase the 3 miles per hour to something like 4 or 5. Then add time the army had to sleep, eat, masturbate, etc, which would further increase their average pace needed to cover that distance. Historic event that changed the future of human civilization, but greatly exaggerated.
Edit: See the Battle of Hastings wiki and go to the Harold moves south section. More accurate description of what probably happened (traveling/distance-wise).

The Sikh religion actually mandates all males carry a knife to fight for justice! Most Americans don't have any clue about it, but, long before the Marines got involved, most of our Embassies in Asia (e.g. Our embassy in Thailand was a perfect example) were guarded by Sikhs in the employ of the US. They also made up the bodyguard of the Indian Prime Minister, even after a Sikh killed a PM many years back. Some of my dearest friends are Sikhs.
I'm similar but from the USA. I have to agree with your statement. I met some that owned a gas station and store. They had great prices and hands down were the most honest and kind hearted people I have known. Yet there were idiots who thought they were muslim. Sadly there is no cure for stupidity..

The Sikhs were outnumbered 477 to 1.
The Spartans at Thermopylae were outnumbered 333 to 1, if you only count the Spartans. In reality, There were 7,000 Greeks fighting 100,000 Persians.
There is no other last stand that could have been #1, the 21 where some of the bravest of the brave who ever lived.
It says "lesser known".
Well the sikhs did have guns....
Jashandeep Singh the Afghans have had guns since the 1700s. They also had cannons at this battle. Also 10,000 men.
Sick Revolting Piss oh ok, I wasn’t aware of that. I don’t look into this part of history that much even tough I am a Sikh myself. Lol.
Connor Traynor Spartans also had 7000 men, guarding a narrow pass that pretty much made it an even fight. The numbers of Persians were also highly inflated by Greek writers (They said there a million Persians at Thermopylae, lol). In reality the Persians probably had around 80,000 total men, and only a portion of that would be fighting the Spartans at any given time, it’s not like all 80,000 charged the 7,000 Greeks.
The Sikhs were 21 men fighting 10,000, completely surrounded and no hope of survival from the very beginning. Those are much worse odds. Afghans had guns at this battle, they’ve had guns and cannons since the 1700s in Afghanistan.
I love how in depth your videos constantly are unlike other list channels. You clearly put the work in so fair play to you 👊

I believe the battle of longewala in 1971 qualifies as one of the best stands.
They not only defeated the outnumbered enemy but force stayed intact
"Last stand" means Even though ur sure of defeat, refusing surrender and fighting till the last breathe. If they remained intact, that means it wasn't a last stand, but rather protecting or safeguarding
Hiding in a fort and fighting with then modern weapons under colonialists like a slaves to them against tribal people who are holding just swords, defending their homeland and these tribal people never gave up to Britishers never been their slave. This is something to think about.

Only Mel Gibson can do it !!!
thank god i checked out this channel on my recommended now i can say when you hit 1 mil i was here since 90k
Sikh warriors were one of the bravest people
sumit dutta and they liked curry lol
Are*
And Bengalis were the most coward ones
@@szavadya that's why creator of( INA )- indian national Army was bengali called Netaji Shubash Chandra Bose ... Illitrate slave ...ok bye
@@sk-Smokingkilz If you look at Subhash Bose, he was a military general wanna be. Also a big coward. When Japan was on verge of defeat, he tried to run by a plane. When he was going to Germany, his entire journey is full of cowardice acts
With only 10 Sikh soldiers and no ammunition left the Afghans offer safe passage to the remaining Sikhs......Sikh commander- “Fix bayonets!” Talk about fighting to the last man!
Sikhs are the greatest warriors . LOve from Gorkha

Hats off to my Sikh brothers!
Rajputs, Marathas, Sikhs
JUST THE NAME IS ENOUGH!!!🚩🚩🚩
Vaibhav Tiwari Sikhs, Marathas, Rajputs, Gurkhas, Kodavas, are India's Spartan blood..
i guess u didnt read the history well , Maratha pillaged bengal and they were like any other indian kings were expanding so the name aint enough as sikhs did fought Maratha too and rajputs were busy fighting among themselves lol
u sure indian? as there wasn't any india at that time , but many small and large kingdoms with their own currency and armies .
India was there a a subcontinent or a region but not a united country like today.
!gaming ghost! Did you know when those empires existed and when they got extinct. Its called passing of time and progression in history. Stop basking about how great India was or how large it was. Before Brits came India wasnt united and thats it. If you are going to say that India would have go united eventually, dont know by whom, then I would say look for how many countries there were in 1950 and how many are there in 2018 and you will know how much people like to unite.
The rezangla last stand 1962
123 indian soldiers fought 5000-6000 pal soldiers
Casualties: 114 and 1200 dead respectively
Ok thanks
Not pal, it's PLA
What is pal???
@@veterankeyboardwarrior6808 pla (Chinese army)
People army of liberation. People's liberation army. I think you jackasses know what he means.
best researched top 5/10 list I've seen on youtube, definitely a real Brit editing this one, awesome job !!
Inspiring stuff & another great video from a great channel.
The first example would make a great movie tbh
Grand Master maybe Peter Jackson already commemorate that in LOTR 2
Krljavi Dzo shut up stupid serb, you never had a epic battle like Croatians, you'd rather join the Ottomans than fought them.
This is the only top 5 channel that isn't full of complete garbage. I subbed, love history
love all these unknown things, caus theres always something new to learn, thanks mate, another great video.
As Sun Tzu said "Place your soldiers into formation, when there is no escape, and they will prefer death over flight."
amazing work :D especially with giving a beautiful detailed explanation of the 21 sikhs. ironically I made a very short video about it in my channel. for me much respect for giving these men and everyone else who fought in else less known last stands, hope you make more historical videos I do enjoy it :)
In the last world war the highest decorated regiment in the commonwealth (over 50 countries) was the Sikh Regiment.
I think it was the Gurkhas.
Your choice for keeping the stand of saragarhi on top is on point, as an indian i feel proud of my fellow countrymen,a sacrifice rather forgotten with winds of time.a humble salute
Beginning of battle Turks 120.000 vs 3.000 Croatians. ~30.000 Turks dead and all 3.000 Croatians dead. In my opinion this is the most remarkable sacrifice and battle because most of deaths were caused by the power of swards and knifes. Croats had a chance to go alive from the battle but they refused the offering of the Sultan so they all died in the battle. Amazing!!!
_MAX_ we Croats are like that, in the 1991 during the brakeup of Yugoslavia a town called Vukovar 2500 Croats fought against up to 60000 Serbian solders who had all the weapon of ex-yugoslav army and they lasted more than 4 months as serbs shelled the town day in day out at the end they shell more than 6 million grenades and up on thousands serbs solders dead.
_MAX_ you can check it on battle for Vukovar.
Battle of Vukovar was biggest Croatian defeat since the end of World War II.
In reality Vukovar is the great Croatian victory, and complete Serbian defeat. Serbian army, cetniks, entered the City Vukovar at the end but the cost was so high for Serbs, that they never recovered, and eventually they lost the war, at the end. Vukovar is a thru example of Croatian toughness and bravery. Some 2000 workers from the shoe factory, some volunteers from other parts of Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina, defended their City for over 3 months, against third strongest army in Europe then. Serbian loses were huge, 10 -15 thousands dead soldiers, over 400 armored vehicle destroyed, more than 20 planes, helicopters shut down.
When the Serbs finally entered the City, revenge was more then bestial. All Croatian survivors were taken to concentration camps in Serbia, thousands of them killed, old, young, wounded, slaughtered in the most horrific manner, women raped.
Marko Obradović hard to admit that Hungarians were there too? Or you just forgot to mention it?
lol I'm Hungarian and I heard number 5 and I got a little bit excited for us
hungarians and croats stopped mongols and turks
utvara1 The Croats do have a habit of beating more powerful nations.
utvara1 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah right 😂😂😂
Nick, check out Callistrid's channel if you haven't yet. You'll likely love it, they recreate multiple battles relating to your history and that of the Balkans including the siege:

I'm so proud of my fellow indians for fighting against extremism for well over a thousand years, the Sikhs foremost amongst them, are a blessing to us all. It wasn't too long ago that every first born son of a hindu family was given to the khalsa in service to humanity and came out christened as a Singh, a lion, and many a lion have I had the privilege to call a friend, finer folks you will never find. Now it is time for our fellow Indians to step up in helping our Sikh brothers rid the holy land of Punjab of the ravage of drugs. May the youth of Punjab be inspired by the actions of the countless honourable Sikhs and Dogras. Waheguruji ka khalsa waheguruji ki fateh.
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you for making/ posting
Sikh are known for their courage those fine gentleman lived up to their name by holding to the last man and sellinfvtheir lives dearly
Adam Clark are they really? didn't know
Yeah dude there have always been a disproportionately high number of Sikhs in the army since the beginning, their performance in the world wars and the various wars post Indian independence has been remarkable
why arent hindoos disproportionately in the army, are there a race of fucking cowards
I meant as a percentage of population, the vast majority of the army is still Hindus.
Plus the sikhs are one of the largest martial races native to present day India as defined by the British martial race theory. Also the martial tradition in Sikhs is religiously sanctioned and impacts all Sikhs, while in Hindus it is limited to certain warrior castes, while the other castes have lagged behind due to the prevalence of British era stereotypes and a lack of martial impetus in their societies.
madmarvin99 uhhhh what???
i always remembered this story as a kid and have always said to others watch out for those Sikhs m8 as they are very worthy warriors indeed and you would be honored to fight along side them
The battle of chamkaur where 42 Sikhs fought an army of 1000000 mugals
Right
Bhai saab ab to me bhi confuse ho gya...100000 to nhi they....but swa lakh se ek to ldae to bhi pure ni hote. 1000000 hi hone chahiye
@PSYCHO乡KANEKI Gaming when guru gobind singh ji said he wil make his one man to fight 125000 men then it means they were really 1000000 men there....
@PSYCHO乡KANEKI Gaming It wasn't just Mughal army, on attack were armies of 22 kings of Himachal, Wazir khan, Nahar khan, and many, Gujjars, kings of kashmir.
@PSYCHO乡KANEKI Gaming guru gober singhs exaggerations. Logistics of 1 million man army was impossible. Hes talking about when guru gober singh ran off n left his children
Fascinating! Thanks for that
Another great video.....looking forward to the next one.....
Wen I was a chield I noticed this huge painting in my grandfathers bedroom, on the wal next to his bed, it was a depiction of a few man on horseback charging out of a fortress in to a huge army, never knew what it was about so I asked him once and he just told me the name of the battle and nothing more.
Now I know what it was about and it brought tears to my eyes, my grandfather was borne and raised in Croatia, and next to the painting was and still is an old calvary sword.
He must have been inspired by the story while he was fighting as a partizan in WW2 against the foreign ocupation of his homeland.
Thank you. Such courage is humbling to watch and worthy of our rememberance.
That was very informative, excellent quality Uknown5!
I personally believe the Sikhs and Gurkhas are two of the greatest warriors of all time.
Peaceful Protestor Because they are!
I'd vote for the Ashantis.
Peaceful Protestor thank you I appreciate bro 🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽
It’ll always be a subjective view - but the stories I’ve heard of the Gurkhas are amazing. I’m Danish, btw.
Both Gurkha and Sikhs are in indian army
What stands out for me is the valiant stand of the Indian soldiers with vast odds against them. True to their word they steadfastly stood their ground and fought valiantly resulting in many enemy dead until the ultimate demise sadly of them all. May god bless them and give them the reward they richly deserve.
Many thanks for this. Truly excellent quality work.
Good research,that was great.
beautiful video, your channel is among the best on youtube. also thanks for including croatian resistance vs ottoman empire, a lot of people never heard of it. also i think 5 of the greatest world war I heroes would be a very nice video to make. cheers mate!
Sikhs!!
You bloody nailed it!!
