What's the best example of a country having their dignity absolutely shattered to pieces?

China's 100 years of humiliation

>The beginning of the Century of Humiliation is usually dated to the mid-19th century, on the eve of the First Opium War[3] amidst widespread opium addiction and the political unraveling of Qing China that followed.[4]

>Major events cited as part of the Century of Humiliation include:

>Defeat in the First Opium War (1839–1842) by Great Britain
>The unequal treaties (in particular Nanking, Whampoa, Aigun and Shimonoseki)
>The Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864)
>Defeat in the Second Opium War (1856–1860) and the sacking of the Old Summer Palace by British and French forces.
>Defeat in the Sino-French War (1884–1885) by France
>Defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) by Japan
>The Eight-Nation Alliance suppressing the Boxer uprising (1899–1901)[5]
>British invasion of Tibet (1903–1904)[6]
>The Twenty-One Demands (1915) by Japan
>The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945)
>In this period, China suffered major internal fragmentation, lost almost all of the wars it fought, and was often forced to give major concessions to the great powers in the subsequent treaties.[7] In many cases, China was forced to pay large amounts of reparations, open up ports for trade, lease or cede territories (such as Outer Manchuria and Outer Northwest China to Russia, Jiaozhou Bay to Germany, Hong Kong to Great Britain, Zhanjiang to France, and Taiwan and the Liaodong Peninsula to Japan) and make various other concessions of sovereignty to foreign "spheres of influence", following military defeats.

>implying
Soviets were absolutely humiliated. Also, reminder that their original goal wasn't Karelia but annexing the whole Finland or at the very least installing friendly socialist government. Which they failed to do. To this day they'll claim that gaining Karelia wasn't just damage control but their goal to begin with

It is said that the ancient Dravidian people had advanced city sanitation and sewage technology.

Austria springs to mind.
Does anyone ever think of them as having been a major European power for centuries?

Even with Sweden despite our cucked nature people still go on and on about our empire days. If only to say how much we have lost. I never hear of anyone talking about Austrian contributions to history and their time in the sun.

Vienna is the most beautiful city in the world and it's full of imperial heritage. Austria is still one of the most advanced countries in the world. If you look for a nation that was humiliated into oblivion, check China before and after opium.

Vietnam comes to mind. The most technologically advanced and superior military can't defeat an army full of rice farmers with outdated moist nuggets from the USSR.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. Vietnam had defeated the Chinese and the fucking Mongols three times. Yeah maybe it wasn't the best idea to attack the nation that had driven out Kublai Khan of all people, but it's not like the USA capitulated or was forced into giving American territory to Vietnam.

Good point

The United States partially ceded territories of Los Angeles and San Jose after the war.

If you want the actual answer:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguayan_War

>There was destruction of the existing state, loss of neighboring territories and ruin of the Paraguayan economy, so that even decades later, it could not develop in the same way as its neighbors. Paraguay is estimated to have lost up to 69% of the population, most of them due to illness, hunger and physical exhaustion, of which 90% were male, and also maintained a high debt of war with the allied countries that, not completely paid, ended up being pardoned in 1943 by the Brazilian President Getúlio Vargas. A new pro-Brazil government was installed in Asunción in 1869, while Paraguay remained occupied by Brazilian forces until 1876, when Argentina formally recognized the independence of that country, guaranteeing its sovereignty and leaving it a Buffer state between its larger neighbors.

England and their Empire vs today

Japan and their Empire vs today

This.

Would the Franco-Prussian War not have been just as bad? At least by the time of their surrender in WW2, it wasn't the first time that France had been humiliated by Germany in a modern war.

While far from a humiliation, the UK entering WW1 was by far the worst mistake they ever made as it contributed directly to the collapse of their empire. I understand the reasons why they did it, but unlike the Napoleonic Wars or WW2, Imperial Germany didn't really pose any direct existential threat to the UK. That said, British involvement in WW1 worked out well for us so it's hard to care very much.

The UK since 1997

pretty obvious, isnt it?
made america the biggest political laughingstock in the history of the world

Seven months of war vs seven weeks, although the 1871 Commune and the proclamation of German Empire was pretty humiliating

Seems a bit harsh. A bit of poo adds to the ambiance.

Bush Jr. did that for years, desu.

The UN assembly certainly never laughed at Bush directly.

Wir schaffen das

They didn't? Well, I suppose that's something.
Has anyone thrown a shoe at Trump yet? I can picture him bragging about the shoe size if one was thrown at his by a reporter or what have you.

well done, the only correct answer in this thread

yeah, having world leaders openly laugh at the president really is something else

China is thriving while Rule, Britannia! has become an awkward series of failures summarised with Brexit. The English teacher was right.

Take another look at the question in the OP you utter spasmoid.
