User:CondeMannerheim

I am not actually named Conde Mannerheim, but those are my favorite historical figures. le Prince de Conde on account of his military prestige and acumen, whilst also on his legacy during the Fronde, during which he betrayed the French for Spain. His accomplishments were so great, however, (including leading France's victory over Spain during the 30 year war, demolishing the tercio's apparent invincibility) that after Spain's defeat and his request to rejoin the French he was accepted as the top advisor to the king. Thus you can live on without your past, as it is only the present and future which matter. Don't let the past bother you. Carl Gustav Emil Mannerheim spent his life across the whole of the world, and ended up gaining independence and then a democratic society from Finland. He then staged and led the defense against the Soviet Union in the Winther War, which he held (with A LOT less men and resources) for nearly half a year. Three years later, under an alliance with Nazi Germany he gained soley to exact his revenge (yet distancing himself from Hitler's ring of puppet nations and their following his every order) he attacked the USSR and drove deep, yet refused to march beyond the borders pre-1939. His prestige was so great from his long life that after the USSR turned the tide Stalin said "it is only their great field marshall Mannerheim that saved the Finnish from complete destruction." Thus don't let anything stop you from greatness no matter your size or enemies. I enjoy history, geography, and politics, but also football and... women!I'm inbetween 8th and 12th grade (no I won't tell you my age, address, phone #, or social security #).
