If I remember correctly, Winston Churchill apologised profusely to FDR when he visited the White House.

for egypt its the war of 1967

For Sweden; the battle of Poltava, July 8, 1709

Then perhaps when Sweden lost Finland to Russia in 1809, but I cannot say if Sweden lost anything or if we won something. Just joking

The loss of the eight division Australian in the malya debacle WW2

Now for the question, what do you think is the worst moment in your country's millitary history?

Battle of Isandlwana 22nd January1879 South Africa.
The British forces were mis-managed by Lord Chelmsford who, among most of the other European officers, completely underestimated the enemy as being a bunch of savages armed with spears
The Zulu, out thought, out maneouvred, out smarted and out fought the most powerful nation in the world at the time.
They were armed mostly with spears, the only firearms they possessed were ancient muskets, but they were masters of the battlefield.
A survivor's account reports the Zulus watching the artillery crew, and when the gunners stood back from the guns, the zulus knew they were going to fire and they threw themselves on the ground to reduce the effect of the shells!
