[DISCUSSION] Biggest fears/worst memories

[boscaresque.livejournal.com]

So I was reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban earlier (yes, I know :P) and during the parts involving boggarts and dementors, I started thinking about Hetalia and what each nation would see if they encountered either of those creatures. What would their boggarts turn into and what would the dementors force them to relive? I feel so nerdy for even thinking of this

Basically the question is: What are each nation's biggest fears? What about their worst memories? And alternatively, what are their best memories?

Yeah, it's true Francis was parono about getting invaded once again by those "barbaric germans" (and just here my movie says "40 ans que la France et la Prusse rêve de s'écharper". Perfect timing. )
I mean Jeanne d'Arc is too cliché, so I was hesitating between occupation during WW2 or the Saint Barthélémy or events like that for Francis' bad memories...
But... just LOL

Ah, if parents had known what really happened when you were taken by the Spiked Helmet hahahaha

I thought of French Revolution and the reign of Terror, French against French is more scary in my mind when your people are fighting/slaughtering each other.

Yeah, but the Franco/Prussian war was also a real trauma, so I understand her point of view, so it's not the first even that had popped up in my minde.

The Terror isn't the only civil war France had (and it's not only about guilloting people...) Religion wars were worse in their own way. The occupation isn't funny either. So which one can would I choose? Don't know.

As long as the French people have the control of their destiny, an event like the French Revolution can't be seen as the worst thing ever. After all, they were fighting for democracy. The worst is when a war and a civil war happen in the same time. That was the case of the Franco-Prussian war. During the Commune (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Commune), the Prussians were at the doors of Paris looking peacefully at the French slaughtering each other.

The problem with the Terror, it's that even if the idea of the government weren't that bad (no more slavery for example, democracy...), the motto was "we're in deep shit, we suspend your right, the time we get everything back in control. BRB". Unfortunately, the methods are just... bloody *euphemism,, we would consider them as war crimes nowadays* I know there was a civil war, but sending lads out of their mum's arms to tell Kellermann how to wage a war isn't the best solution ever. Opening the coffin of the dead kings either wasn't necessary at all...
... Hm by the way, we had a war and a civil war at the same time. Vendée and fuck yeah, 1st coalition (out of too many) vs Soldats de l'an II.

But I agree the Franco-Prussian war was a real trauma. Beside the Commune is all about "let do the Revolution once again", and Thiers wasn't known for his clemency. The Sacré Coeur was built to expiate it after all, if it's not a proof.

WW1 is not bad neither. Bad memories, we are spoilt for choices.
