i love all these stories but somehow it's always the 21 sikhs that make me tear up every time. i think it's because the last guy died so bravely and so horribly, but showed no fear and went out singing the battle hymn of his people. what a punch in the feels.

In ww2, A dentist in the pacific was working as a surgeon when 5,000 Japanese soldiers attacked his position. He told the wounded to retreat and he held the base until he died. His body was surrounded by 91 dead bodies of the Japanese.

the samurai dying standing gotta be one of the coldest moments in history respect to all others mentioned in this video but imagine your enemy dies defending their master and you don’t even attempt to move forward because he’s still standing holding his stance

There needs to be a part 2 to this video. There are so many iconic battles that weren't covered, some I can think of at the top of my head include: 1. Battle of Shiroyama 2. Sack of Rome (1527) 3. Battle of Thermopylae 4. Battle of the Alamo 5. Battle of Rorke's Drift 6. Battle of Camaron 7. Battle of Hill 3234 8. Battle of Wizna 9. Fall of Tenochtitlan 10. Fall of Constantinople

I and every Indian Alive will never forget the story of bravery of the 21 sikhs.proud to be a indian

Dian Wei let’s go!! One of my favorite characters in Dynasty warriors, I’m glad his last stand to allow Cao Cao to escape is shown

A little sad King Leonidas's 300 didn't make this list... but all the other stories are a wow!

The Sikhs is giving me goosebumps and tears. They all achieved what we all desire. A good life with meaning and a better death. This is very late but may those warriors rest in peace and always be celebrated

If you want to learn more about the 21 Sikhs, Yarnhub had done a great job of animating the battle.

Battle of Saragrahi is needed to be covered by Infographics; Such an inspiring and motivational last stand

The mix of selflessness, courage and willpower is powerful.

Two big absences (as a french) : The Battle of Camaron - This is where the mystique surrounding of the french foreign legion came from. 65 legionaires against 3000 mexicans, inflicting 500 casualties to the ennemy until they ran out of ammos, then the 5 last legionaires went into a final bayonet charge. The Knight Bayard - Recognized throughout europe at the epitome of chivalry. His story would deserve a movie, and he died in a rear guard action buying time for his men, standing alone on a bridge against an army of the holy roman empire, and pushing away the first waves, finally being defeated by an arquebus shot. But really, when it comes to this guy, his entire life was a fantasy come true.

Another story people don’t talk about is Tzilacatzin, an Aztec warrior who fought off an entire Spanish army, and was so badass that the Spanish compared him to the angel of death.

Modern soldiers: Were completely surrounded, we need reinforcements Spartans: *THIS IS SPARTA!!!!*

"Greatest Last Stands In History" This sentence reminds me of my relationship with my father.

17:07 A small correction, he was named Saitō Musashibo Benkei. And, it's a shame you didn't include the Battle of Shiroyama, where the man who took a big role in modernizing the new Imperial Japanese Army, was ultimately killed with his band of 500 samurai, whom were originally 20 000 at the start of the Satsuma Rebellion. He was named Saigō Takamori.

i love last stands, so cinematicly epic. one of my favorite real world ones is the roman centurion who held a bridge alone saying how can a man die better than facing fearful odds, fictionally it's tied between the siege of gondor and helms deep

Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon's last stand in the Battle of Mogadishu deserves a mention too

Theres been a one eyed badass that single handedly liberated a town, a guy that fought with a bow and arrow, and a freaken bear in WW2! Wheres the Viking soldier at? The guy that carried a battle ax into battle. Not only belived in astru, but was a decendant of the vikings. There has to be one Edit: this comment is not about last stands, im talking bout in general, and as a video suggestion if there is one

Infographics show needs to do a video specifically on the battle of saraghari it was an INSANE battle. Salute to the brave Sikhs who chose to fight to their deaths.

Minamoto Yoshitsune was an amazing samurai and general. I read the book on him back in middle school and to this day I remember it. Benkei was one of few friends of Yoshitsune who all fought and died valiently defending Yoshitsune while he committed Sepuku before being killed by his enemy. Highly reccomend reading the book. It’s really really good.

Benkei's death probably was the inspiration for White beard's death in One piece. Both used a Naginata and both died while standing. also both were huge in size

6:15 It's a shame that Galba became a really despicable emperor. Before ruling Rome, he was an admirable person and soldier, as he (along with the future Emperor Vespasian) greatly assisted Emperor Claudius during the conquest of Britain, not to mention he was also a faithful husband, as he refused to cheat on his wife with none other than Agrippina the Younger (Caligula's sister and Nero's mother). Anyway, I have absolute respect for Sempronius Densus, as he was capable to do something other centurions like Sejanus, Macro, Chaerea and Tigellinus couldn't: protect to the end the Emperor they swore allegiance instead of just stabbing him in the back

I've read into the lone axe-man on Stamford Bridge. That wasn't just any ordinary axe-man obviously, but I think it's worth mentioning that he was a berserker.

3:00 Saraghari battle has such a deep meaning

Real quickly there's a video game from the early to mid 2000 for ps2 called Genshi Dawn of the Samurai. And it's a fictional retelling of Yoshitsune and Benkei's adventures and its possibly one of the greatest games I've ever played

Benkei's final stand was truly incredible

i salute to every single man on this list.

I’m glad Saraghari is in here :)

It's always nice to see Chinese historical figures included :) Dian Wei used late dagger-axes, which were short-handled weapons with a horizontal, slightly curved blade at its end. The variety used for two-handed warfare are usually significantly shorter than those used for chariot or heavy infantry, and more top-heavy.

120 Indian soilders vs 4 thousand Chinese soilders, chinese had ak 47s rifles, winter clothing, acclimatized to fight in cold mountain, required food, artillery cannons vs indian soilders using 303 rifle of WW which which fires a single bullet at a time, no artillery, cannons, so less bullet that it can be counted on fingers, no winter clothes, all soilder was in cold mountain first time , no acclimatization, no food . But despite all of these indian casualties was 114 killed and 5 captured 2 escape from prisoy vs 1300 chinese soilders killed every indian soilders killed 11 Chinese, a soilder named sangram who was also a wrestler when no bullet left killed 8-9 Chinese by smashing between hands, all of the soilders found had several injuries, cut , bullet injuries.

I remember reading something by British troops who arrived at the fort and they were 'flabbergasted' (apparently stunned, amazed, in awe) when they realized 21 Sihks had held off an absolute gigantic force of which something like 600 of the invaders lay dead. Epic defense.

Loved the legend of Benkai. Truly a great example of "honour". 21 sikhs was also pretty amazing.

Woah so early for once. Loving the longer content lately, 20 minutes is perfect for your style 😊👍

I love how the narrator for info graphic show you can actually like understand what the story is And I also give med praise to the writers and I also love infographics show because they can literally roast anyone while being sly about it

love showering arrows

benkei s death was the most heart throbbing one the abosoulute loyalty made him stand firm even in his death

Sabaton: "Write that down!"

I sometimes got chills hearing the stories of the brave men and their sacrifice to save the fellow soldier or buy enough time. Wow.

Last stand of the shinsengumi in the edo period is heartbreaking

Respect to all who fight for noble causes

It always make me tear up a bit when you hear a lower number of soldiers face up with a larger group

These are amazing, it really is incredible what you can do when you are fighting with conviction.

Darn, can yall just imagine being there in those times... just wow 👌

YOUR UPLOADS MAKE OUR DAY BETTER ❤️

In all Dynasty Warriors that Dian Wei is in all his last stands at Wan Castle were awesome as it tends to be just you using him to hold off Zhang Xiu's forces as Cao Cao escapes

i always enjoy learning from your videos :)) great job keep it up

Mentioning jaswant singh rawat would have been awesome too......He was from the 4th garwhal rifles of the Indian Army. He alone defended the post against Chinese army for 72 hours (3 days), inspite of being seriously injured himself during the battle of nuranang of the sino-indian war.

Respect to the brave souls 🙏 Men now will never get these opportunities due to the development of modern weapons.

Aw man, I was hoping Cu Chulainn's story would appear here for sure.

That last battle gave me goosebumps

great vid, u should have put in the battle of the chosin reservoir,246 marines vs thousands of chinease during the Korean war

Just a small correction, Cao Cao was just a warlord at the time of Dian Wei's story. He never proclaimed himself emperor, his son did shortly after his death. Very interesting history, would be cool to see more coverage on that time period.

You missed the British Gloucestershire Regiment at the Battle of the Imjin River during the Korean War where hundreds of them were able to hold off around 30,000 Chinese soldiers attacking wave after wave before finally succumbing with most being captured. But not before they were able to buy valuable time for the rest of the UN forces to strengthen their defences around Seoul and defeat the Chinese offensive, resulting in the borders we have today. South Korea might not even exist if it wasn't for them.

You deserve more likes and views for these daily uploads, I doubt these videos are easy to make.

Very nice I love this channel I wish you would’ve Added the last stand of the samurai , Katsu Moto moritsugu 😉

As a basque, I feel honoured someone finally mentioned the battle of 778

Worth mentioning. The last stand of the 189 swiss guards in 1527 protecting the pope.

I think u should include battle of Rezang La led by major Shaitan Singh...... no one believed about their sacrifice until after 3 months when bodies of the soldiers were recovered after the snow melted......

I would love to see a sequel discussing more amazing acts of bravery and self-sacrifice. It's astounding how curageous we can act as human beings when we are faced with total destruction!😮

I’ve read the first book of the three kingdoms, and while it Amy be a mere legend, Dian Wei’s last stand was legendary. I just wonder how real it was

It's hilarious that the stoners have taken over hit;er's birthday. EDIT: The story of Benkei NEEDS to be made into a movie... It would be a BLOCKBUSTER!

I always enjoy the videos you creat every day.

Honestly, i'd love a video about the life of Miyamoto Yoshitsune and Benkei, "I survived 100 days during japanese civil war" or just informational. Benkei's last stand has its place in a video

There is one more battle which should be included in the future part. The battle of pavankhind. 300 maratha vs 10,000 adilshahis The battle was fought to by time for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to escape to the fort of Vishalgad. The commander Baji Prabhu Deshpande after fighting for almost 7 hours died after hearing the Canon fire from Vishalgad fort. In the honor of this last stand the horsepass was named Pavankhind (the holy pass).

this should get billions of views

the last guy benkei ( standing death) reminded me of whitebeards final standing death in one piece at marineford

benkei was probably my fav story of these, hardest death yet wish they mention if his master finished the ritual but honestly i assume he did

anyone else just randomly found this chanel somewhere and now just start watching every vid because of because

This should be a multi-part series.

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

The "standing death" of benkei is... Just so dang cool

The elite Imperial Guard had been thrown into the battle at the last minute to salvage a victory for Napoleon, but despite their bravery they could not break the British centre and were forced to retreat. The setback broke French morale. The surviving Imperial Guardsmen rallied just south of La Haye Sainte for their last stand. Legend has it that when called on to surrender, a French general (either Pierre Cambronne or Claude-Etienne Michel) responded 'La Garde meurt mais ne se rend pas!', which translates to 'The Guard dies, but it does not surrender!'

Considering it may be your first time, you did not butcher the Sikh Battlecry. Kudos to you yaar 👌

I learned about Dian wei from dynasty warriors he was fanatical about his loyalty to cao cao never knew this about him

The unnamed viking holding off the soldiers on the bridge has a title very fitting to him. He was called the Berserker. Actually learned of that one from a norwegian friend of mine so i like to believe em XD

I just loved this video but there are many last stands that need to be admitted Eg battle of pawan khind where 300 mavala with baji prabhu deshpande fought 10000 adilshahi army and many more stories like this

another honorable mention would be the 3 Brazilian soldiers who held off a much larger German force in ww2 when asked to surrender they refused and fought to the end. Their names were Arlindo Lúcio da Silva, Geraldo Baeta da Cruz, and Geraldo Rodrigues de Souza.

Impressive. Thank you. Learned a bit.

The moment I saw the title, I knew Benkei would be here. Dude was so badass he died standing.

Thanks infographic show for putting saragarhi and those 21 brave sikh soldiers which people dont know about...there is a movie on them called kesari

Cao Cao wasn't an emperor, he was a vassal king under Emperor Liu Xie although he became king in 216, 19 years after the death of Dian Wei. Zhang Xiu also wasn't a king, and Jingzhou wasn't a kingdom. Zhang Xiu is a warlord and governor who controls Wancheng. Jingzhou at that time was held by Liu Biao, a fellow governor who is allied to Zhang Xiu.

the story around 18:00 was legit made into a actual video game that i played on the playstation years ago known as Genji, a fantastic game but bi had no idea it was inspired so much by real life

Im surprised the battle at Thermopalye (hot gates) wasn't in this video

Nice!!

This battle of saraghari is often not popular in the last stand tales but thanks to infographics who does not discriminate anything except their core content

As a diehard Dynasty Warriors fan, I always love hearing the story of Dian Wei

I feel like king leonidas and his Spartans should be on this list

All the LAST STANDS were great in their own ways , but i think its impossible to beat the 21 Sikhs vs 10000 Afghans .

Benkei is a real one! cheers to that man

Nice I love your channel

My favorite last stand is possibly King Leonidis of Sparta (Don't think I spelled his name right) and his 300 spartans during the persian war

I’d recommend people check out John Chapman’s Medal of Honor story. It’s incredible

Good video as always, for the second part it would be excellent if you talk about the Siege of Constantinople.

19:58 Benkeis last words were “THE ONE PEEEIIIICCCEEE! THE ONE PEICE IS REAL!!!”

I was hoping the battle of the Alamo to make it to the list

I think the best imo is Benkei.... Even in death he still stands.... Cant imagine how many arrows it need to be able to do that.... 😅

I can't be the only one that got goosebumps about Benkei😬🤯

I love the battle for the osowiec fortress and the battle at thermoplae

I guess the battle of Thermopylae is too legendary to be in this video 😁
