in the year 9 an army of German tribes defeated the superpower army of the time, the Romans. And by defeated I mean completely wiped out. Stopped Rome from further expanding into the Germanic areas and the saying "Varus, Varus, give me back my legions" (Varus being the head of the attacked legion,)
The year is 50 B.C. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invadors. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium...
The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, described as the Varian Disaster (Clades Variana) by Roman historians, took place at modern Kalkriese in AD 9, when an alliance of Germanic peoples ambushed Roman legions and their auxiliaries, led by Publius Quinctilius Varus. The alliance was led by Arminius, a Germanic officer of Varus's auxilia. Arminius had acquired Roman citizenship and had received a Roman military education, which enabled him to deceive the Roman commander methodically and anticipate the Roman army's tactical responses. The entire Roman army in the region was decimated, about 20k dead and more sold into slavery. This secured the independence of the Germanic tribes and is seen as one of the most important battles of Europe as it eventually led to the German nation we know today. -Wiki
Ah it must be hard if you see yourself as a well known superpower army and then fail to conquer lands which are defended by some dedicated men.
Wait, that sounds oddly familiar...
