What is Pyrrhic Triumph? What Does It Tell Us?

War has no winner, let peace be the winner:

The Pyrrhic victory is a victory at the cost of devastating losses. It means that the victory won becomes meaningless after the losses given. In 280 BC and 279 BC, King Pyrrhus of the Greek colony Tarentum attacked Rome and sacrificed everything to win the war at any cost. In the end, Pyrrhus wins the war; but he loses his entire army supported by 50 elephants. He won the war, but he is no more than three or five elephants left behind from the huge army. After this victory Pyrus; He is said to have said, "Lord, do not give such a victory again." Pyrrhic Victory is actually used to describe victories that are doomed to be defeated. In reference to this event, battles that were similarly won were called the Pyrrhic victory.

Chaldiran War:

There are many examples from the history and recent past to be given to these victories. Here is the "Caldiran" pitched battle, which I wrote to you before, two dynasties that fought out of nothing and the broken Turkish Nation. The result is zero, there is zero.

An example can be said of the USA's Vietnam War. The result was zero hands and again zero for the Americans.

What is War:

Look what Mustafa Kemal Atatürk says about war.

"If War Isn't Necessary, It's Murder" is actually a magic sentence, like the summary of all I want to talk about. Today, countries are at war, but their people are friendly. Every war ends in peace, what about casualties? As we all know, there is no winner in war. There are many examples of this in history.

Waterloo:

Napoleon Bonaparte's ideal of a united Europe came to an end with his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo and a lifelong exile. Napoleon, who lost the war against his arch-rival British Commander Wellington, calls his Commander Marshal Ney to his side and asks. “Why do you think we lost the war?” Commander Ney begins to express his ideas in order to rank the reasons one by one according to himself.

-The reason is very much, Mr. Napoleon.

-First, the gunpowder ran out...

"Secondly," Napoleon silences the Marshal when he tries to continue.

He says you don't need to count the others.

However, the war was not lost because the gunpowder ran out.

Napoleon is upset with his stomach.

He is sick!

His commanders are no longer with him as in previous wars.

It is not possible for him to lead the 6-hour war.

The British and their allies the Russians, the Prussians are very strong.

Control of Ambition on the Battlefield:

But the proud and invincible Napoleon is ambitious, and this ambition makes him err.

Defeat is inevitable now.

With this defeat, the 23-year war between Napoleon and the British Empire ends.

If Napoleon had won this war, the history of Europe might have been rewritten, but it did not.

Napoleon is taken prisoner. He has to take refuge in the British government.

The British Commander wrote to Wellington:

"I take refuge in the auspices of English law, and I ask you, the strongest, most enduring, and most magnanimous of my enemies, to enforce them."

This is how Napoleon surrenders to the British, whom he insulted for 20 years.

He dies bedridden in a nursing home under the auspices of the British.

The following words of the British commander Wellington after the war are exemplary. “I know how to lose a war, but nothing is more painful than winning a war at the cost of losing so many friends.”

Conclusion:

History always writes: Wars are won not on the field, but at the table, using diplomatic channels. As can be seen from the correspondence between the man who once shook the world and his arch-rival, war is not the solution to any problem. Ambition should never take precedence over reason.

May the winner always be peace for humanity. As I end my article with two beautiful words of our father, I say stay with respect and love.

Peace at home peace in the world.

War is murder if not necessary.
