Maybe the topic won't work but at least I would love to read something about each countries heroes. Lets do it like this: name, short description why he (or she ;) ) and Wikipedia link (english). Cheers :beer

Ion Antonescu
was a Romanian soldier, authoritarian politician and convicted war criminal. The Prime Minister and leader during most of World War II, he presided over two successive wartime dictatorships. A Romanian Army career officer who made his name during the 1907 peasants' revolt and the World War I Romanian Campaign, the antisemitic Antonescu sympathized with the far right and fascist National Christian and Iron Guard groups for much of the interwar period.

There is more of them,but someone else could write,this 4 of is my opinion...

In batlle of Čegar in 1809, Turks had five times bigger army, and duke Sinđelić ,who led Serbian soliders, shooted the house fool of dinamite and all Serbs died, but also all Turks died, that was a heroic fight, he sacrafised his, and the lives of his best soliders for libertation of Serbia. Before the batlle he sayed to his soliders that who want to leave, and to stay alive, he can go immidiatelly, but who stay that will be death for sure, gues what, everyone stayed. After that "victory" Serbs were moralised and Turks whanted to humiliate Serbs, they made a tower called Ćele kula from death heads of Serbian soliders, Serbs were more moralised and liberated Serbia from ocupaing Otoman empire

Throughout history, many heroes,

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

Nice to know now that Levski Sofia club is named after him

David Duke

There is also "Hristo Botev", few clubs named on him - Botev Plovdiv,Vratza and many other smaller clubs.
I would like to add also :
Stefan Stambolov - the biggest bulgarian politician in our modern history.

Of course a lot of other people which deserve the honor to be described as "national heroes", but the most popular are written by proud and loud.
Few names :
Paisii Hilendarski
Sofroniy Vrachanski
Todor Aleksandrov
and many more....


There are also non-bulgarian citizens which are respected a lot for their actions :
Victor Pozitano
Emily An Strangford
William Gladston
Victor Yugo
and more.... + huge respect for the many thousands of slavic people which died in the russian-turkish freedom war in 1877

Ireland has hundreds of national heroes, but I'll just put one for now.

Michael Collins



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcJGPKdgGBE

A farmboy who brought the British Empire to its knees. :hero

Traitor...

Traitor of who? If you drop some thesis, please explain your view or cut the shit. I don't want second "political tifo" topic here.

Why do you think Ireland is still divided? Because this fucker was scared of the british and accepted the deal that Northern Ireland would still be ruled by britain. And the fact that Ireland still was under the british crown.

A bitter civil war between the irish started after this, those who were anti-treaty and those like Collins who accepted that Northern Ireland would still be ruled by the british.

You're a fucking idiot. Come with that 'traitor' shit over here and you'll get battered. Fuck off anyways, you're not even Irish, :aight

Battered by who? You fascists in Ireland that has to hide to not get shot by the IRA? How did that meeting with Casa Pound go some months ago?

Half-irish...

Fuck all of this. Billy Connolly. Scottish comedian.

WTF are you talking about? You're psychotic man.

I am talking about folkadvance-meeting with Casa Pound some months ago in Ireland...
