The Monument to the Battle of the Nations🏛️ (German: Völkerschlachtdenkmal) is a massive monument in Leipzig, state of Saxony, Germany🇩🇪, to the 1813 Battle of Leipzig. It commemorates Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig, a crucial step towards the end of hostilities in the War of the Sixth Coalition. The coalition armies of Russia, Prussia, Austria and Sweden were led by Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg. The monument is 91 metres (299 ft) tall. It contains over 500 steps to a viewing platform at the top, from which there are views across the city and environs. It's mostly made of granite and widely regarded as one of the best examples of Wilhelmine architecture, inspiring several other gigantic monuments around the globe, like the #Voortrekkermonument in Pretoria. The frontal statue is a depiction of the Archangel Gabriel with the letter 'Gott Mit Uns' (God With Us) and there is a Krypta that features knight statues that look straight out of 'Lord of the Rings'. Don't you just love history? 😊👍 -- #Leipzig #Völkerschlachtdenkmal #NationalMonuments #BattleOfTheNations #Gigantic #Prussia #Prussian #PrussianHistory #EmperorWilhelm #Napoleon #TsarAlexander #NapoleonicWars #Colossal #Krypta #Archangel #ArchangelMichael #DronesFromAbove #DroneShots #DronePhotography #DronesAreGood #Droning #DronePlanet #DroneTravel #DJIMavicMini #GodWithUs #GottMitUns (at Völkerschlacht-Denkmal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAmpwxVDo17/?igshid=x0u7rzgh4x12

VOORTREKKER MONUMENT AND NATURE RESERVE - GROENKLOOF, PRETORIA. I last visited the monument when I still at school so felt quite nostalgic today. Inaugurated in 1949, the monument was designed by architect Gerard Moerdijk - great first name don’t you think! The moment commemorates the history of South Africa, the Voortrekkers and that of the Afrikaner. Well maintained and worth a visit if you are interested in South African history. #touristguide #touristinmyowncountry #voortrekkermonument #afrikaner #southafricanhistory #pretoria #monument #museum #gallivant_with_g @voortrekker_monument_museum (at Voortrekker Monument & Nature Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzDGneYHxN_/?igshid=1pmtkeajcjhnk

The Voortrekkers - were a group of Afrikaaner Boers - Dutch, Germans and French Hugenots, who left Kapstadt/Cape Town & the now British Cap Colony in 1835 in search for better lands far beyond the Vaal River. After a long and epic trek they founded the Oranje and Transvaal Freestates between the lands of the Zulu and Swazi people. A lot of massacres and injustices occurred, both against the Zulu and also against the Boers, culminating in the 2 Anglo-Boer wars, the first of which they won and the 2nd ended with them being defeated and the 2 free states annexed by the British and integrated into their colony in 1902. The suffering & hardships of the Boers were a reason for them trusting nobody but themselves and a strong reason for the later apartheid, when the British Colony became independent and the country of South Africa🇿🇦. I love a piece of amazing history and this monument honoring those pioneering Voortrekkers is certainly one of it! 😉👌 -- #SuidAfrika #SouthAfrica #Pretoria #Voortrekkers #VoortrekkerMonument #Pretorius #Boer #Boers #Boerwars #Afrikaans #Afrikaans #Afrikaaners #Freestate #Oranje #Transvaal #AngloBoer #AngloBoerWar #Zulu #CapeColony #ColonialHistory #Pioneers #Apartheid #BoerHistory (at Voortrekker Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jHv-XDD43/?igshid=1hadnxqf8dx29
