What about the battle of Adwa where for the gallant Ethiopian forces under Emperor Menelik II defeated the Italian army. This is in fact one of history’s glorious moment where an African state which has a long history of statehood and civilization that puts some Europian nations to shame, puts an end to the colonial ambitions of westerners.

Unquestionably imagine that that you stated. Your favourite justification seemed to be at the web the simplest factor to understand of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while other people think about worries that they just don’t understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thank you

Both have some truth…The USA soldiers were at the outside of Mexico city, The “Castillo de Chapultepec” was the militar academy of the time, that day, was a no labor day, only 6 soldiers (from 13 to 16 years) were there because they did not get back to their home (Some say that they did not have money, some because the were in detention) but they were the only infantry personal available (1 medic, 1 handy man and 1 kitchen assistant were there too) so they managed to hold for 8 hours the take of the academy, the last one standing took the flag so the invaders could not make any profanation and heavily wounded he jumped from the roof of the castle. Is not doubtful, even the General Winfield Scott gave the chance to make them a proper funeral, presenting his honors. Despite the age, that pure HEROISM

Your list is no good.You are mentioning some relatively small engagements in Pacific and not mention large battles like Stalingrad,Leningrad…Thats the real last stand.Also look at history of Montenegro,that might be interesting for you if you like those who fight against the odds.
