Most Inspiring Moment in History

[Sardine World]

When Ronald Reagan said this at the Brandenburg gate:

"Mister Gorbachev, Tear down this wall!"

Awwww.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean

[Saruhan]

That's because at the time it was pretty much the only African state left. But still, you don't exactly quiver in your boots at the thought of the mighty Ethiopian army

Ethiopia had artillery and firearms. Few if any other African nations did. Your belittling of the Ethiopian army is based on your views of them now. That is a mistake.

The most modern African army fought arguably the least modern and professional western European army at the time.

I know this, I was just saying that it wouldn't be hard for them to be the most advanced African state at the time because there weren't any others.

When the first ape danced before a storm thus creating religion:)

of course the Ape that first hit the lion with a stick was pretty awesome too

[Central Slavia]

Inspiring to who?
Personally I'm a little jealous of Henri Bessemer, discoverer of the Bessemer process /bessemerisation, which gave the world cheap steel.
Asides from that, the Great October Socialist Revolution, Slovak National Uprising, and the launches of Sputnik, Lajka and Jurij Gagarin all count.

[Czechanada]

The rise of Anarchist Catalunya.

[Choronzon]

Awwww.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean

Gorbachev actually choosing to tear down the wall is far more inspiring than the leader of the Soviet Union's number one enemy and rival standing in front of a wall and saying "Tear this down!"

Your answer is shameless Reagan worship. Its sort of cute.

Simo Hayha single-handedly making 505 confirmed Soviet kills.
A hero to snipers and badasses everywhere.

Simo Hayha single-handedly making 505 confirmed Soviet kills.
A hero to snipers and badasses everywhere.

Also, taking hits to the face and still owning people with a machine gun.

Also, five-men-one-bullet kill.

I always laugh when conservatives actually think that Reagan is responsible for the Berlin wall coming down.

Right? All he did was stand there in front of cameras and say TEAR THIS DOWN!

Thats not brave. Thats not moving. Its not inspiring. He gave a speech. He used rhetoric. The Soviet leader actually chose to tear the wall down.

Gorbacov leading Russia into an age of poverty, crime and instability.
It's inspiring in a way - inspiring as to "No fuck we'll allow this shit again."

Fuck Game Over, we have a winner right here.

Technically the GDR did on its own, after the shit hit the fan in such spectacular fashion they had no choice.

I was about to go with the Tiananmen Square Protestor, but you nailed it right there.

Thank you. That would have also been a good choice.

Pretty easily the moon landing.

Hell, I personally like "Tranquility base here, the Eagle has landed." more than Armstrong's words but that's just me.

[The Humanist Federation]

That and the Foundation of Rome is a tie for me.

[Yumyumsuppertime]

In modern history, certainly the moon landing.
