[DISCUSSION] Biggest fears/worst memories

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?

I understand about what you say about leaving off the bad parts of history. I get really ticked how are teachers are like ( Excuse the upcoming Hetalism), "Well we did it but everything is okay now because we're the HERO!!!"
We did stuff wrong and we should admit it.

I forgot the whole first university of radical biology thing...wasn't it set up to study the Saami people???
Yeah there were another people you kinda picked on...sorry

You shouldn't beat yourself for neutrality in WWII. It actually makes sense. Germany wanted your iron ore so why not make some money from it. So you kinda benifited except from all the other countries being ticked at you because you made:
1. Money
2. you didn't lose as many people to war. (Though didn't you help the Finns in the Winter war with some, "belligerant neutrality" thing?)
The Swedes shouldn't be as hard on yourselves. Truth be told you have one of the best healthcare systems in the world, and your rated one of the most peaceful, cleanest, and egalitarian societies in the world.
Though definatly your taxes scare me...Your just a little to liberal for an American
Haha Nobel...didn't he invent dynamite though? LOL.

Ohhh...Yeah the Stockholm bloodbath was a really dick thing to do. Killing all those people for just trying to suceed...Okay it makes sense politically but...still they could have done it better. Though I never really got the consept of, "let's dig up a dead person and cut it's head off..." I know it's something about on the day of reveltaion you wouldn't have your head or something but still...

Yeah the Russians got pretty amazing after Peter the Great but in my opinion more with Catherine the Great, military wise at least. (God I love that women)

"Basically, everybody were kind of being bastards."
I love this. Haha it made my day. I'm deffinatly going to now check out the Scanian wars.
Yeah I would like to see more of that too just because it's great for some of the intermingling and political relations.
The image of Holy Roman Empire and Sweden fighting makes me laugh when I know it shouldn't
PLus it's interesting with how Finland basically had a Swedish identity from that point on. I once read that the Swedish rule for Finland was it's, "dark ages," and I would love someone to write about that.
I never heard about the civil war of 1200 but I bet it's really interesting because wasn't it in the 1200's Sweden went on it's little crusades against Finland???
My tech. theater teacher first introduced me to it. It's not really a common term unless your in the carpentary business or Teachnical theater business. Also if something is, "dutchman" it mean's it's covered.

I feel this conversation is getting a bit too long, not to mention off-topic, for this thread. If you want to talk more you can send me a message. :)
