There's an AskReddit thread for "What is the TLDR of your country's history"

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/8axci8/what_is_the_tldr_of_your_countrys_history/

I'm not sure how I should feel about such a large number of the responses including the phrase "...then the brits turned up"

@squirrel but it could be for all of us who want to hug computer!

@squirrel that is a fantastic email address, you must claim it

@squirrel that obviously has to be a website with a button that activates a couple of robot arms to hug you

hm, yeah, maybe one less "sqwerl bun"

@gcupc@glitch.social analogy doesn't quite work, she's more like a clock that's decided to run backwards

It's more the fact that she doesn't see the similarity that annoys me

@squirrel I'd make it my own personally

@paulfree14 it's true so long as you don't count Switzerland accidentally invading from time to time as a military engagement

The Swiss Army get lost occasionally and cross into Liechtenstein, realise where they've gotten to, and go back to Switzerland after apologising profusely

As for the 81 soldiers story, yep, they sent 80 soldiers out to war and came back with all 80 plus an Austrian soldier that was looking for work
