10 Most Brutal Acts Of Revenge In History

[@ClickWasd]

Julius Caesar - On the way across the Aegean Sea, Caesar was kidnapped by pirates and held prisoner. He maintained an attitude of superiority throughout his captivity. The pirates demanded a ransom of 20 talents of silver, but he insisted that they ask for 50. After the ransom was paid, Caesar raised a fleet, pursued and captured the pirates, and imprisoned them. He had them crucified on his own authority, as he had promised while in captivity-a promise that the pirates had taken as a joke.

Are people's attention spans so short that this guy has to talk SO FAST through all this? Extremely annoying.

[@jellyorwhat3343]

An Indian friend told me, that women who go to police to report rape are likely to get raped by the police, too. That's because in the eyes of the policemen she is already dishonored and it doesn't matter if she gets raped one more time anyways. Of course she probably doesn't receive any help. It's also very likely she gets rejected by her family and society, so it's better to not talk about it for her. The incident where the rape of the young student in the bus which made it to the world press was also just outrageous to the Indian society because she belonged to a higher caste while the assaulter were untouchables.

[@nathandomke2721]

[@nysitay7396]

+fred bluud Boudica nimes etc etc he murders every pronunciation a habit of culture and non universal education😩

[@CynicalHistorian]

Sorry, but there are some serious errors here: 10) _The Count of Monte Cristo_ is a fictional work by Alexander Dumas and in no way "based on a true story." 8) The massacre was not an act of revenge, but part of the French Protestant Wars, a series of wars about the establishment of the Huguenots in France, which was declared heretical by the ruling Catholics. In previous centuries, they would have simply been culled, but the reformation was afoot. A little more complicated than a revenge plot. 4) The Dachau liberation killings were not some secret that "came to light in the early 2000s." General Patton's decision to pardon the perpetrators was headline news in 1945. There was even a book published on the subject in the 1980s. Historians have been well aware of the incident, even if it has faded from public memory. The actual investigative report was lost in 1960s, but found again in the early 90s. None of that having to do with the 2000s! 3) The massacre at Urgench was not for revenge, but part of the usual Mongol stratagem of massacring cities that resisted. Furthermore, the highest estimate of the bloodshed there is 1.2 million, and most historians consider it to be a tremendous exaggeration at that. The entirety of the Mongol expansion is estimated to have killed around 4 million people, not just one particular incident, and that was all because of their strategic massacring, not vengeance.

[@SirKanti1]

Also Boudica wasn't Welsh she was English.

[@Ugnutz]

I think you mean Iceni england didnt exist at this time it was founded in the 5th to 6th centuries with the anglo saxon migrations

[@Tiwaz81]

Nope. The English were still in Denmark and Germany. Boudicca was a Briton, Iceni tribe. The Welsh are the decendents of the Britons.

[@daviddavies3637]

Geoff - It troubles me that you got three likes. England didn't even exist at the time, nor did any of the kingdoms that were to eventually become England. England didn't actually exist until around the 9th or 10th century, 500 years after the Romans left. Welsh and Cornish are the two last remaining remnants of the languages spoken throughout Britain, south of Hadrian's wall, during the time of Boudica.

Im not saying religion wasnt a reason for many wars, but just saying that most wars were started for land and resources just saying. Also in many cases religion was an excuse that was told to the people when actually there were political reasons. The biggest war caused by religion were crusades.

[@sherlocksmuuug6692]

Actually, the first crusade was caused by the byzantine/ eastern roman emperors call for help against the turks who were overrunning them. The pope saw that as an opportunity to lead the violence in Europe somewhere else.

[@ianmacfadyen3926]

no even the crusades were about taking land. They just pushed the "they worship a different invisible man" angle harder then others to get the people behind it

[@CyrodiilCome]

+Ian MacFadyen Well no. The original crusades was the pope shitting himself in fear, because the Islamic caliphate/Kingdoms were expanding taking over several Christian lands. Pope told all the Kings of Europe "Hey, if we don't quell this we'll all be speaking Arabic" Thus a holy war started uniting several Euro nations (Unofficially) under one banner to kick Islam's ass for taking Christian land.

"Religion is seriously like the cause of all wars ever." Actually, according to "Encyclopedia of Wars" by Charles Phillips and Alan Axelrod, only 123 of the 1,763 documented wars have a religious cause. That's less than 7%.

[@josefmacichek99]

Nice! Here are two more: Spartacus's slave army was defeated by Marcus Licinius Crassus and the re-captured slaves were made an example of by crucifying thousands of them along one of the main roads leading back to Rome. Certainly and effective PR campaign! At the end of the Punic Wars Rome destroyed Carthage and supposedly went at length to sow salt into the land where the city once stood so that nothing would ever again grow there. Carthage never recovered.

[@bullballsallday]

I'm surprised they would sow salt across an entire city's farmland given how valuable salt was back then.

[@StegoKing]

They would use salt water from the ocean, not salt crystals.

[@josefmacichek99]

Yeah normally I should source this kind of information. I am not sure who wrote about this but probably someone like Tacitus or the Plinys. They, on the other hand, did not source anything, which is already second hand research since they did not personally observe any of it, so the credibility of these kinds of statements is not particularly reliable. Therefore, it would be fair to say that legend has it that's what happened.

[@alexanderthegreat5649]

Lol my man Spartacus was pretty vengeful himself on the show they portrayed him as more merciful than he was, all the lives that had to he taken every time they took a villa. Then after Crixus fell the show depicts them forcing about 20 captives including Crassus' son to fight as gladiators when in reality it was about 300 get sentenced to death that way in honor of Crixus, and then to hasten his speed of travel after ridding himself of useless materials put all other prisoners to the sword. Aside from all the Roman's killed when taking villas(which could be considered revenge since they weren't war battles)he put a minimum of 300 to death for revenge likely with all numbers not counting battle numbers were twice as high maybe thousands or at least a thousand.

[@699CHIP]

That wasn't right though. They invaded Carthage the third time for no reason than to finish them off the face of the Earth. It can't even be said it was revenge for what Hannibal did because Carthage was already forced to pay for that war.

[@bobgibbs7888]

My personal favorite, Tomyris killing and drinking wine from the skull of Cyrus the Great (king of kings) for killing her son. The layers to the story and personal backstory of the individuals involved is just wonderful.

[@LittleMacscorner]

Never knew that and I am a WWII life long historian. As for the liberation being marred? Perhaps I am too jaded, myself, but sounds like justice to me. The world is not a nice place. As the Germans taught the Jews....and were then taught themselves..... I am a real life American veteran who served with the Army values to the upmost I could. But if I had walked into a German concentration cp in the final days of WWII.....I don't know how I would have reacted but I judge NONE who reacted as they did.

The one I thought of upon seeing this list was Ivar the Boneless and King Aella of Northumbria. Though there's some question as to the reality of the incident, since it was recorded in traditional Norse poetry, the story goes that after Aella killed Ivars father by tossing him in a snake pit, Ivar went to war with Aella, defeated him, captured him, and then exacted his familial revenge by cutting away the ribs from Aella's spine, and ripping out his lungs through the holes he'd created.

If I had seen what they saw, I would have killed 500 SS guards by myself. All the American soldiers had to go through hell fighting the Nazis only to find out that they were monsters. What surprises me is that only 500 were killed. Even 10,000 SS killed would be a small drop in the bucket.

[@sickid41]

same thing the american are doing to the muslim countries with drone strikes

[@theprinceofdarkness4679]

dsoutherngent1 I have to agree that outright killing an SS guard is 100 times more humane than gassing and torturing humans that some idiot decides to classify as undesirable. In that sense, I almost think that killing 500 SS guards was more of a mercy killing rather revenge. I think that we should suggest that the producer of this video make a revised video. It really pales in comparison with the other acts of revenge.

[@theprinceofdarkness4679]

crusty old fart First of all, history is not my specialty even though I enjoy history on the side. Secondly, I would tend to discount anything made into a film or movie because I have yet to see a 100% accurate portrayal. Thirdly, I tend to rely more on historians to accurately portray history. While I realize that this leads to a level of uncertainty, I do read several historians and occasionally primary sources. All the history books that I have read tend to confirm that there was a holocaust. Michael Shermer, Skeptic in Chief, who has investigated a respectable number of hoaxes, has determined that the Holocaust was not a hoax. This is unusual in that most of the time after his investigation, he finds unusual claims to be hoaxes. The last thing that I have to say is that there are no universities who will accept anyone for a professorship position if that person denies the holocaust. Several persons have presented their ideas to me before and attempted to support their ideas with books whose authors have questionable credentials. I am calling stalemate on this one because I am not even going to attempt to persuade anyone nor do I think there is sufficient cause to reconsider. If by any chance you believe that you know of any sources that might be reliable, please leave me a list for my benefit and the benefit of any inquiring minds. Thank you.

It persists because people who are anti-theist want it to be true, and think if they say it enough, then it will become fact.

[@2003jackb]

In the last 2'000 years not only did religion repress scientific discovery, but yes, religion has had a major factor in all major wars in human history. To look at a recent example, The Vatican celebrated Hitlers birthday during his time of power, and Hitler declared his en-devour as 'the work of christ'. I'm gonna assume you're religious, and one that believes in fairness, equality and peace. But, The Bible and The Quran, in parts, command violence. So this is why people claim religion causes violence and wars, because it's and easy vessel to justify atrocities. Because it does.

[@Shrapnel82]

Jack Burgess Yeah, I'm going to have to ask for proof there, or dismiss your claims.

[@Shrapnel82]

lEazy O G How was WW2 fought due to religious belief?

[@TengouX]

Couple things. One, he said that religion was the reason for *nearly* all wars in the history of forever. Two, while that may be taken to be generally false, what truly starts wars is 'ideology'. Ideology being defined as a 'system of ideas and ideals', religions are ideologies, yes, but so are forms of governance, or even the personal values and principles of one man could be considered an ideology of one. Soldiers that fight for their people do so out of an ideology of 'king and country'. People act in a way as to uphold their own principles, and principles start fights if someone violates them. In most cases, these ideologies are built around something tangible. King, country, loved ones. Things that are verifiably true in this world and that can be touched. But religion, no matter how hard people balk and scream, isn't a verifiable truth. God as the foundation of a religion has never been observed by anyone, inviting many interpretations of His words, and because of that conflicts that arise over religious ideology are by far the hardest to reconcile. There are no facts to check, no tangible slights to avenge. Just a bunch of people espousing the values of different fictional works and treating them as fact. Perhaps religion wouldn't be as widespread as it is today if more people understood the concept of confirmation bias two thousand years ago. With such a loose interpretation of factuality of course religious ideologies will rarely see eye to eye on things concerning 'God'. But this is hardly the fault of theists as a whole. The holy Books of certain Gods are so filled with dangerous passages because of a few ancient belligerent embittered cunts who couldn't resist injecting their notions of 'God' into their petty, *mortal* squabbles. A publicity stunt that lasted for millennia. So yes, religion is not at the root of all wars, but the percentage of wars it does cause tend to never truly end.

I know. It gets old with that lie constantly being pushed. Or,, religion has killed more people blah blah. They conveniently forget ALL the N.K. leaders, Stalin and Mao.. Who have killed more people than ANYBODY combined in history. AND they are followed by the likes of Muslims (near genocidal acts to Africans over the last several centuries and STILL going, how that gets ignored is astounding), ritual sacrificial cultures such as babylon and the aztecs. But somehow Christianity gets trashed..

AGM_Flatline you need to reread what I wrote. Nothing you said is accurate. As to bringing up old stuff. What did you just do? Again reread what I wrote. It's factual.

[@CLSGL]

Ooooookay a few things. Crusades happened for power, land, and to fight back the Muslims who were collectively fucking up that entire sector of the globe. Also, the church used religion as a tool to gather people. They didn't just all bump into each other at the market and go "Hey.... we're all Catholics/Christians, right?? WANNA FUCK SOME SHIT UP??" and go on a rampage. Read a book. Christians were evil bastards? When? When their god was preaching peace, creating the golden rule, and spouting "love thy neighbor"? Human nature breeds hatred, pal. Not religion. Don't pin all of histories issues on the religious. And lastly, get away from that pathetic "I am a man of science" holier than thou crap. The world has moved further from religion since the mid 1800s and the world has gone further down the shitter. You need to rethink your logic.

"Being the reason for all wars in the history of forever." Referring to religion. Your biases are getting the better of you. Obviously that's not true. Even in your video a mere handful of the wars mentioned had anything to do with religion. Not to mention that more often than not religion was only an excuse for the rulers of some nations to expand territory or in some cases throw off the yoke of the Catholic church. I'm not saying there haven't been wars fought over religion, but in the history of man they represent only a small minority of the history of war. Then there's the Catholic church, an institution that in times past was so vile it's hard to fathom. Ruled by ruthless men who used religion to increase their own power and wealth but believed less than your average next door atheist. Usually at the expense of any true believers who were more often than not their victims rather than their accomplices. The Catholic church is responsible for the murder of more Christians and Jews than any other group with the exception of Islam who exceed the Catholic church only because by this point they've been at it longer. That only because somewhere along the way the Catholic church managed to reform itself to some small degree and stopped their own murder of Christians. Though it might be fair to say they share some culpability for the holocaust, for their silence if nothing else. They STILL to this day are responsible for the persecution of many Christians and Jews even if they have stopped outright murdering them. People who make such statements as yours gloss over the real motivations involved. To this day religion is used as a smoke screen by the powerful to do things that most religions find repugnant. Edit: Why in the world is it that when you post comments in KZbin using Microsoft Edge you can't use paragraphs? I have to edit my comments using Firefox just to form a proper paragraph.

[@richardrackley2430]

Finally someone has the intelligence to understand this. An unfortunate but true analogy is the argument of gun control in regards to gun violence. A gun, without an owner or a human to use it, can't do any harm. When it is put into the hands of someone righteous or trying to protect their loved ones, it's a good thing. When it is put into the hands of someone who doesn't know how to safely handle or it someone who has bad intentions, there are negative consequences. People use religion almost as a weapon to control people and society while corrupting and distorting its true intentions.

[@GOTOHELL57331]

Catholics are christian...

[@BarakIII]

There are many good Christian Catholics yes. But Christianity isn't something you're born into. It's a choice that is born out through your actions. As Jesus said "You shall know them by their fruit." In fact what I'm referring to when I say they killed many Christians I'm including true believers in Christ within the Catholic church. By itself the the Catholic church is an institution, and for the most part a political institution rather than a religious one. That is borne out through their fruit, just as Jesus said. Even today they are more interested in manipulating the political realm than having any true belief in Christ. Being in the Catholic church doesn't automatically make you a Christian. Having a sincere belief in Jesus as the Saviour who bore our sins on the cross and was resurrected from the dead is what makes you a Christian. What I'm referring to is the leadership. Particularly in the middle ages. They did a lot of horrible things, including to their own people all for expanding their power and wealth and would destroy anyone who dared say or even believe differently.

[@BarakIII]

People often say things they really believe as a joke and when people really believe this kind of lie, and they do, it's no laughing matter. Yes, it's said in the tone of a joke, but it's also said in a tone that suggests he actually believes this. When someone mocks someone or something in this way, they do so because they believe it, not because they don't.

[@GOTOHELL57331]

BarakIII The middle ages weren't a particularly bad time. In fact, the Catholic church had a notably lighter hand than the feuding Germanic lords who would cast them off in favor of greater power by controlling churches of their own.

After his brother, Ulf the Quarrelsome, found the headless body, he took some men and set out to find Brodir. When he did, he proceeded to cut open Brodir's belly, rip out his intestines, and wind them all around a large tree.

Religion was not the reason for “every war, ever”. It was an excuse for SOME wars, but not a reason and certainly not every war. Fighting over religion is a relatively recent invention. Since about the time that, ummmm.... some religions *cough Islam cough* wars have been fought over religion. Yes, the Jews fought to take Canaan from the indigenous population, but that was a short and VERY localized war. Since some religions *cough Islam cough* came about, people really were just honest about their reasons for fighting a war. They fought over land and resources like gold, cattle, and water. The Roman soldiers fought to expand their emperor’s empire and the Chinese fought each other for about 1000 years for the same reason. So get some original ideas, why don’t you.

1. The St. Bartholomew's Day massacre took place days after the wedding, and it was sparked by the Protestants declaring war on the government and the concept of monarchy altogether earlier that month, itself provoked on by John Calvin's policies changing. In essence, the Huguenots were acting like a cult, following their founder on even politics. (I'm not Catholic) 2. "Byzantine" is a derogatory term coined by the West, and has no historical validity. I'd expect better from this channel in something that's pretty much standard knowledge in history now. It was still the Roman Empire, and they considered themselves Roman and never "Byzantine". Whether or not the Pope in Rome liked that fact or decided to falsely elevate some Frankish-German warlord named Charles to the title of Roman Emperor is irrelevant. Also this: www.huffingtonpost.com/rabbi-alan-lurie/is-religion-the-cause-of-_b_1400766.html

Yeah but Byzantium was the name of Constantinople before Constantine spurring on the name of the Empire.

[@jaykilbourne1110]

But the Empire ruled from that city was a continuation of the Roman Empire

[@lgvereor]

Christopher Langbein It was actually just a settlement, and only part of Constantinople. Merely a village, one of many villages, that got assimilated into a new and much larger city called New Rome. So Byzantium is incorrect even there.

[@lgvereor]

The sole reason the term Byzantine was thrown around _long_ after the actual empire, was the West's interest in delegitimizing it as Rome. It's as ridiculous as if the United States decided to change it's capitol to Miami, then fractures a few centuries later with the original government still ruling in Florida but leading to some crackpot in Houston to declare that his new country is actually the true America and that the Miami regime is actually a different country called the Floridian States.

Then almost one year to the date of their masters death they form a raiding party to go and kill the man responsible for the death of their master and all of them graciously accepted ritual suicide as punishment. It takes a lot of bravery and guts to do that
