We all know the legendary rebellion of Hayk Nahapet against Babylon, thanks to which the United Armenian State was forged, and the ancient world experienced progress. However, very few of our compatriots know that Europe also had a patriarch of Armenian descent, who, like Hayk Nahapet, rebelled against the Babylon of that time—Rome, which had begun to experience a great moral decline from within. He was born in Germany in 17 BC, and after serving five years in the Roman army, he received Roman citizenship and returned to Germany. Arminius decided to fight against Rome because its supremacist and expansionist ambitions posed a great threat to his Germanic tribesmen. Arminius not only rebelled against the Roman army but also inflicted one of the most humiliating and crushing defeats in Roman history during the three-day Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Arminius not only physically defeated an already morally decayed Rome but also broke its spirit. Arminius is also referred to by various German historians as “Armenus” (Armen), “Herman” (Arman), or "Ari" (meaning "brave" in Armenian) and is considered by German nationalists as the “first German” because he managed to unite the scattered and divided Germanic tribes against a tyrannical empire, just as Hayk Nahapet did 2,500 years earlier by uniting Armenian tribes. He became a symbol of Germanic unity and resistance. His figure was particularly glorified in National Socialist Germany. The fact of Arminius’s Armenian origin was used by Nzhdeh, Hayk Asatryan, and several Armenian intellectuals during World War II to prove to the Germans that they had direct Armenian ancestry, which clearly implies that Armenians are also Aryans. By uniting and leading the Germans, Arminius saved Europe from the degenerated Roman Empire, after which the Germanic state was established, giving rise to world-renowned scientists, philosophers, writers, composers, and many other geniuses in various fields, thanks to whom the modern world experienced great development. Remember the story of Arminius and know that, like Hayk Nahapet, there was a freedom-loving Roman citizen of Armenian descent who gave a new impetus to humanity’s progress. “In the figure of Arminius, the Germans found a brilliant leader: he preserved his independence, crushed Varus’s legions, and safeguarded his country’s freedom.” — Edward Gibbon (1737–1794), English historian “He was beyond doubt the liberator of Germany; he dared to challenge the Roman power not in its infancy, like other kings and leaders, but in its full strength.” — Tacitus (c. 56 – c. 120 AD), Roman historian, author of Annals and Germania (Annals, Book II, Chapter 88) “Hermann is the man of freedom, a son of the forest, a true German, who stands against the oppressor of the world.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832), German writer and philosopher Follow: t.me/hosank
