[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?

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.
