The elite Imperial Guard had been thrown into the battle at the last minute to salvage a victory for Napoleon, but despite their bravery they could not break the British centre and were forced to retreat. The setback broke French morale. The surviving Imperial Guardsmen rallied just south of La Haye Sainte for their last stand. Legend has it that when called on to surrender, a French general (either Pierre Cambronne or Claude-Etienne Michel) responded 'La Garde meurt mais ne se rend pas!', which translates to 'The Guard dies, but it does not surrender!'

I think u should include battle of Rezang La led by major Shaitan Singh...... no one believed about their sacrifice until after 3 months when bodies of the soldiers were recovered after the snow melted......

I just loved this video but there are many last stands that need to be admitted Eg battle of pawan khind where 300 mavala with baji prabhu deshpande fought 10000 adilshahi army and many more stories like this

last story gave me goosebumps

Your videos are the best

All the LAST STANDS were great in their own ways , but i think its impossible to beat the 21 Sikhs vs 10000 Afghans .

The Sikhs didn't beat them all, they just took a last stand to take down as many as they could but all 10000

The Battle of Saragarhi was a Good Runner up to the Battle of Thermopylae

Have you heard about Battle of Chamkaur? It happened in 1704 where 40 Sikhs took on an army of 1 million

I feel like king leonidas and his Spartans should be on this list

That’s the first battle I thought of

Nice I love your channel

Benkei is a real one! cheers to that man

Thanks infographic show for putting saragarhi and those 21 brave sikh soldiers which people dont know about...there is a movie on them called kesari

The infographic show should have realized by now that if they talk about atrocities of islamic rulers on India for almost 10 centuries, then many people will get educated and the content will be AMAZING

His narration made me cry

The "standing death" of benkei is... Just so dang cool

My favorite last stand is possibly King Leonidis of Sparta (Don't think I spelled his name right) and his 300 spartans during the persian war

It was the Battle of Thermopylae.

@@markarca6360 I know that, I just can never remember how to fully spell the battle.

Would´ve been cool if you included the battle known as the "Attack of the dead men" which took place in WW1, the Russians really fought hard and suffered in that battle but managed to hold of the Germans long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Cool video tho

Good video as always, for the second part it would be excellent if you talk about the Siege of Constantinople.

I learned about Dian wei from dynasty warriors he was fanatical about his loyalty to cao cao never knew this about him

Here's an interesting Idea for the Infographics Team: '10 people who were a lot tougher than their attackers thought.' I vote for Jonathan R Davis.

That would he a great one

I think the best imo is Benkei.... Even in death he still stands.... Cant imagine how many arrows it need to be able to do that.... 😅

This battle of saraghari is often not popular in the last stand tales but thanks to infographics who does not discriminate anything except their core content

Great video

Im surprised the battle at Thermopalye (hot gates) wasn't in this video

Lol, that's cause it got it's own video, plus, there were a few more than just the 300 Spartans there, so a bit less extreme as the others shared here, probably.
