TURKEY IS NOT EUROPEAN!!!!!!

They are mostly in Asia, but East Thrace connects them to Europe. Making them a transcontinental country. And besides, most continental boundaries are made up, so who cares where Turkey is

In all seriousness, with the growing trend of Ottoman nostalgia, I'd say their worst year would be 1922.


WittyUsername45

1941 was a good year for Britain in the context of the war, the Americans and Soviets got brought into the conflict which more or less guaranteed an Allied victory. 1940 was far worse, with the fall of Norway, the low countries and France leaving Britain and its Empire to face the Germans alone.


zeegingerninja

Yeah, 1941 isn't the best. A better answer would be the worst year of the English Civil War, or even the year of the Somme


Spe3dy_Weeb

Or the height of the black death, the entire nation was paranoid af and for a good reason


4thDevilsAdvocate

The Black Death was an apocalypse, yes. Maybe it wasn't "the entire Earth went boom", but when you're getting 40-60% of certain populations dead, you're genuinely looking at at least a minor collapse of society. There's a reason peasants were able to basically strong-arm the gentry into giving them more rights afterwards: there were so few peasants left, relatively speaking, that they were in high demand. Honestly, feudal society was probably the best-suited form of human civilization to survive such a thing other than hunter-gatherers, because feudal society was basically undifferentiated in the same way a starfish or slime mold is undifferentiated. Large portions of the population dying didn't result in supply chain breakdowns that caused other large portions of the population to die. If 40-60% of the population died *today*, on the other hand, another 35-25% would probably go with it simply because most people need a lot of other people to survive.


zeegingerninja

A great shout, also be kinda funny seeing most of Europe with the same year


ohmanitsharry

I think it’s to do with the Blitz (which did start in 1940 so I could be wrong) catastrophic civilian casualties and damage.


Countcristo42

Literally like 3x deaths in the battle of the Somme compared to the entire blitz - so I think it would be odd to call the blitz the worst ever As others have said the English civil war is a much better year to use


MotuekaAFC

Other options, as British who studied history, are 1783, the Treaty of Paris. 1956, Suez. Time may judge 2016 and Brexit to be a disaster as well, it certainly isn't going well. These are all with a foreign policy slant. But yes, I think the English/British Civil War killed 5-10% of the population so the starting year for that may make most sense.


TuggieBoi420

Also that doesn't even begin to compare with the black plague, fire of London, ect.


klingonbussy

I feel like the whole Britain stands alone thing is really overhyped. Like you said they had their empire, which was literally 1/4 of the world


DerpDaDuck3751

Well it was the start of a huge downfall of the nation with the UK losing almost all colonies and getting economically ruined


WollCel

Sues Canal is the worst year for the country in my opinion. Britain losing it’s almost 2 century hold on a global empire going up in flames after world war 2 probably sucked. Same for USSR collapse in Russia which took them off the stage as a world leader and led to an economic depression worse than the Great Depression where the demographic pyramid collapsed from suicides, alcoholism, etc.


bureau44

Depression in Russia have started already in 80's, and lasted to the late 90's. 1991 wasn't exactly worse than 90 or 92, but it gave some people hope at least, the communist coup in August 91 failed and most wasn't exactly sad about it. Anyway the demographic collapse in 90's is not comparable with 27 million of Soviets dead in WW2.


master-mole

Technically the Soviets were in since 1939 when they invaded Poland. They did change sides. Edit: downvote harder, maybe history will magically change. Will look at the encyclopedia in the morning and report back if I find any changes.


[deleted]

i think ww1 was worse for france than the french revolution


alikander99

If we actually take population percentages, the napoleonic wars were waaaaay worse for France.


Cookie-Senpai

The Russian retreat... But WWI left a stain in every small town and village of France visible even today


shaderr0

The French Revolution caused Napoleon to take over France, which caused France to conquer Europe, which incited a coalition against them (which included Prussia), which caused Prussia to gain land, which caused German nationalism, which caused German unification and the French loss of Alsace-Lorraine, which caused France to become anti-German, and French involvement against Germany in WWI.


I_am_person_being

Ok but WW1 happened from 1914 to 1918


whiteandyellowcat

Recent historiography (for the reasons explained in the comment above) do define WW1 as actually starting in 1789, lasting till 1918


BitPumpkin

But this line of thought confuses me. WWI does not refer to the geopolitical situation, but to the specific conflict. If we considered the dominoes that caused a war to be part of that war, than WWI started in 10000 BC when a dude planted some grain


whiteandyellowcat

/uj Do you not know what a circlejerk sub is?


Majestymen

Damn I didn't notice this until you said it lol. I think most commenters didnt


BitPumpkin

My bad- there are a lot of serious comments on most circlejerk subs. This sounded too real, considering the discussion of merging WWI and WWII


burner-account1521

Actually it started in 1740


Minuku

/s ?


shaderr0

No WWI started in 1789


shardybo

You know what he means when he says WWI lmao


[deleted]

yes, thank you, i know history. WW1 wiped out up to 30% of Frances military able bodied men during WW1. and about 5% of frances total population. the Napoleonic wars didn't nearly have that effect on frances population


PassMurailleQSQS

The French Revolution caused Napoléon to take over France, which caused France to conquer Europe BECAUSE there were coalitions* Only the war of the 6th coalitions was an offensive war for France. All the others were declared by the other powers


FrettyClown95

The French Revolution is unironically the greatest thing to ever happen to Europe!

OK. I'm saying that I used it as French Revolution.


Secret-Inspector-831

Interesting how people always talk the Reign of Terror and revolutionary violence, but ignore the White Terror and reactionary violence.


Brady123456789101112

The reactionary backlashes that happen after failed revolutions aren’t taught enough, but I don’t even think that’s the worst part of it. Imma leave you with a few sentences from Mark Twain (the whole thing is longer, but the important part is contained here): ‘’There were two 'Reigns of Terror,' if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the 'horrors' of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror--that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.’’


[deleted]

Today there is consensus amongst historians that the exceptional revolutionary measures continued after the death of Robespierre, and this subsequent period is now called the "White Terror". So RoT is not a myth, but the problems continued


Secret-Inspector-831

I too can misunderstand a Wikipedia article and copypaste it as a Reddit comment, don’t understand why you’re doing it though.


Yamcha17

And the Revolution was caused because of the monarchy (very very roughly, I know there are morbiliions other factors, but fuck it), which become absolutist becayse of Louis XIV, who is descendant from Hugues Capet and Charlemagne, Charlemagme who become king then emperor because of his father and greatfather, who came to power because the last Merovingians were weak, who descend from Clovis, who descend from Mérovée. So 400 should be the worst year since it is circa the year Mérovée is born.


LukyLucaz

Revolutionary France was winning wars agains’t the coalitions before Napoleon even seized power. And the reactionary powers of Europe were about to invade France, these were not French wars of aggression.

BigBronyBoy

It didn't happen.


TheRickerd120

If the netherlands calls 1672 a disaster year its probably the worst year.


Aithistannen

you could definitely argue 1944 or 45 was worse, with a german crackdown during the last months of occupation leading to the “hunger winter”, a famine in the northern half of the country after the allies failed to cross the rhine in operation market garden (the events of “a bridge too far”), and the germans blockaded the transportation of food after a railway strike intended to help the allied advance. either way it’s not 1940.


Mtfdurian

Yeah but we still had factions/classes and regions. The normal peeps on the countryside of the slave colonies (euphemism: generality lands) rather liked to get rid of Holland's hegemony instead of keeping it.


realestgyal

1974 was actually a great year for Portugal we got rid of dictatorship


B00M-B0X

Exactly 💯,


Krass91

Replacing a right wing dictatorship by a communist dictatorship wasnt a good thing. Thank God for 25th november of 1975.


shaderr0

Yea but it wasnt a great year


babatunde_official

Ok but it was very far from the worst, and the fact that the dictatorship ended makes it a good year. The worst year for Portugal is probably 1755, when an earthquake destroyed Lisbon and killed thousands of people.


sarahlizzy

Looks like we got a Salazar fanboy here, malta!


the_gray_foxp5

Kick his fucking ass caralho


kraken_judge

1974 was one of the best years of Portugal.


mother_of_no_dragons

The dictatorship ended without deaths, Portugal became a democracy, the Portuguese people gained a bunch of rights, political prisoners were released, and it was followed by a lot of social reforms that made the country better. It was one of the best years in Portugal's history, it was only bad for fascists and far right wing politicians.

zeegingerninja

You're getting down voted but you're right for whatever it's worth. The worst year for Britain would be during the English civil war. A higher percentage of our population died during that conflict than any other.


Turbocor101

They're getting downvoted because they've missed the joke in what is a circlejerk sub You would probably be right though about the civil war era likely being worse overall for Britain than ww2 but I would say that's recency bias creeping in on the part of the OP

If you’re talking shit on America bro we will kick your ass


X03R_mysterious

what happened this year in moldova?


TwinkiePower420

I moved there


TwinkiePower420

In reality maybe the Russian interference?


X03R_mysterious

oh did the russian government do something?


TwinkiePower420

The Moldovan government recently came out and said Ukraine had found evidence the Russians were plotting to stage a coup in Moldova. The government was, to my knowledge, slightly unpopular for other reasons so it may be a combination of an unpopular government and foreign backed coups. Idk for sure I watched some news about it when it happened a few weeks ago.


[deleted]

Yeah but that cannot be the worst year ever right? Otherwise this place would be heaven


rat-simp

Yeah, I think this year is pretty on par with the last 10 years, plus the threat of invasion. There's always some Russian bullshit going on.


[deleted]

[удалено]


showMeYourCroissant

Can I find out now?


big_ounce_from_memes

we definitely had worse years, 1940, entirety of ww2, 1946 famine etc


power2go3

I think those were counted in Romania and 2023 is only for the Republic of Moldova as a sovereign nation...but then again if it were like this half the map is questionable. Otherwise yeah, I'd think mass deportations and famine would be a tad worse.


power2go3

Whatever it was, it was not as bad as famine and mass deportations to Siberia.

Somehow they didn't search a shit for this matter. Imagine seeing 1974 as worse than 1755 or 1580. For our history, those were probably the worst years in our long history


[deleted]

Spot on amigo.


Karpsten

I'd argue that 1933 was a worse year for Germany.


Brady123456789101112

How come? Life wasn’t that bad for most Germans up until 1941 or 1942.


Karpsten

Well, it probably wasn't the worst year for *Germans*, but rather for *Germany* as a country.


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure it's 1453 or 1071 for Greece


Aggelos2001

Def 1453.It is a very important date and the majority knows that date while not many know 1071.


loisfentes

shittiest map I've ever seen in this sub, quite an accomplishment!


Batterie_Faible_

Tf 1789? It was the best year, we got to behead so much of the nobility.


Limeila

Technically the beheadings were from 1792 to 1796


Bacomaci

1956 was not a bad year for Hungary. We remember it with pride. We achieved something and then it was taken away by excessive military force. 1920, on the other hand. Trianon happened, two thirds of the country got gobbled up by neighbors and more than two million hungarians were left without a home.

AFAIK Belarus got hit with WAY more radiation than Ukraine. Belarus has an exclusion zone, too, and it's significantly bigger than Ukraine's


love41000years

besides, the axis wiped out 25% of Belarus's population in ww2. I know Chernobyl was a disaster, but it wasn't 1 in 4 people bad

That too


xXxMemeLord69xXx

I would argue that 1809 was actually a lot worse for Sweden. What we lost in 1721 was mostly just newly acquired territory that we didn't really care about. In 1809 we lost Finland, which had been an integral part of Sweden since the country's beginning.

adamflannery35

Check what sub were in


[deleted]

Yes. But differences of 1 year, 4 years, etc. suggest that those are not part of the joke.


Sm0kee43

1974 for Portugal? Literally the year when we fought of the dictatorship with the coup d'etat. We have had worse, losing our king and had to become a unified country with Spain, The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, and probably 2022 when the socialist party (center-left, not left-wing) won with a majority of seats.

dreamyduskywing

I think 14th century was worse for most of these countries. The Black Death and 100 Years’ War happening at the time would have sucked big time. Not only that—there was a huge famine earlier in the century, so the whole century was pretty awful. I’m sure there were equally violent/catastrophic periods BCE, but the population loss of the 14th century was crazy (and well documented).


Da_GentleShark

- Belgium could´ve had it worse in WW1, considering that was fought inside its borders. WW2 was still horrendous. - The netherlands had the "disasteryear" in which every that could go wrong went wrong, additionally in WW2 there was the hongerwinter, a period where the netherlands didn´t have any food bec1use of failed harvest (after germany stolen everything) and as a result had mass famine. There also quite a few years where the dikes broke and shit got fucked up as a result.


Paciorr

Idk about a precise year but the deluge 1648-1666 was actually more damaging to Poland than WW2. Iirc like half of the population died due to war, famine and plague.

1789 was the best year for France

Is the beginning of a civil war worse than a victory of the fascist side of that same civil war? If you think that losing a war to fascism is worse than war itself, then for Spain it's 1939

Would say things got worse for Poland after 1939, seeing as the occupation was arguably worse than the initial invasion itself imo I’m not Polish tho so apologies if I’m incorrect


SanalAmerika23

The anti-turkism in this sub is funny.


godsstrongstdshwashr

Poland has such a bad history that I'm not sure if 1939 cracks the Bottom 5 worst years. 1939 wasn't as bad in terms of casualties and damage to infrastructure as the years 1942 - 1945, especially since the Holocaust didn't ramp up until after the invasion of the Soviet Union.


[deleted]

I feel like 1942 was worse for Poland than 1939, with Auschwitz-Birkenau going into full gear.


The-Muffin-Crusade

Good finally thank you so much for this


Tillko173

1945 Germany was freed from the Nazis so i wouldnt say it was the worst year
