[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?

For Poland I'd imagine the Deluge, the Swedish invasion of his house that made everything tumble down from there. Or the partitions, the times he was at Russia's house, because Russians were really bastards to Poles during the partitions. His best memory is probably the days with Liet. Or the Battle of Vienna, but probably not.

America.... I think his worst would be 9/11, just because I imagine him being really sensitive when it comes to the home front. And he doesn't get invaded/hurt on his own land very often, I think. His best memory would be... BEING AWESOME THAT ONE TIME.
Actually! Maybe his worst memory would be dropping the nuclear bomb on Japan, because he fears himself turning into a monster. He's such a cute character, there's a lot of things America has done that could affect him...
For England, NOT the American Revolution. That wasn't the worst thing to happen, y'know. Maybe the Blitz over London, or the English Civil War which I hear is pretty bloody though I don't know much about it...
Best memory = KICKING FRANCE'S ASS OVER THE YEARS.
Germany, yeah, he would fear the whole NAZI thing again.
Now, Romano, I think the Italian War of Unification would be awful to relive, because one, it was a struggle and they went against the Pope, and two, because even though his kingdom was technically at an advantage in three gazillion ways, his brother's army tottered in and kicked his ass. I think his fear would be to dissappear because there is technically no South Italy anymore (although! South Italians and North Italians are very different, so I guess that's why he's still around.) That, or WW2, because the Germans in his lands burned a bunch of farms and there was so much fighting.

Ahh, I didn't think too in-depth on the Unification thing in my post, but you got some good points there. Especially for Romano being like the "Prussia" of the two Italies (in more ways than one). I think they'd probably be conflicted and fearing over the modern-day mentality of Italy being abolished/split too, with all the implications and the blame put on the South for the problems :(
