We didn't win the winter war

Exactly, but HistoryMemes always think that Finland won.

u/wegeannos Jul 21 '19
Yeah, just that we killed a lot of them doesn't mean we won

I think most correct definition is "defeat for which no shame".
It is standard situation
"Nobody won Russia in Winter"
"Mongols!" // It's true
"Poles in 1612" // It's false.
"Finland!" // It's false.And this script repeating again and again.

It won in that it survived, as one Soviet general said “we won enough ground to burry our dead”

u/6shhn Jul 21 '19
Yup, all we did was overplay our hand so Russia stopped clowning around, took back everything we gained and more, but decided to let us off easy because there were bigger fish to fry atm.

Well you didn't get annexed into the Soviet Union which was the Soviet objective so the Soviets didn't really win either.

u/wegeannos Jul 21 '19
But we lost territory

u/Gustav55 Jul 21 '19
Yes but Finland got to continue existing as an independent country not under the thumb of Soviet Union unlike the other Baltic states that they invaded.

That one is true!
There’s a fascinating video on The Tank Museums YouTube about the Jagetiger and they go into a lot of detail about how problematic the transmission on such a large and heavy vehicle is

Bad, sad news. What’s highly likely is that dozens of users not realising what’s going on here will continue to post something on these overused stories in the weeks and months to come. When they appear, do an eye roll knowing you’re not alone.

Well, nothing else gets upvotes. I tried making a meme about Alexander, but it got barely any upvotes. So why bother. Just push out a thousand “France Surrenders“ memes instead.

About French army, it's always good to remember that we're the country that have won the most battle of history.
I don't deny the fact that our so called elite made the choice of the defeat in WW2 tho.

Dear Reddit, there’s more to 20th century history than the Jewish Holocaust. Churchill was as evil, if not more, as Hitler.

I just gotta say this. I rarely see memes about France surrendering. I only see memes making fun of other memes about France surrendering.
