German anger
Furor teutonicus ("Teutonic fury") - a Latin term used to describe the aggressive actions of the Germanic peoples. For the first time, he appears in the Farsalia of Lukan for the attributes of the Teutons attributed to him: cruelty and madness.
The Teutons and Cymbras were Germanic peoples with whom the Romans met around 113 BC. In combat against them, the Romans suffered several severe defeats, including Norea in 113 BC. and Arausio in 105 p.n.e. Gaius Marius, who had managed to completely destroy the Cymbans and Teutons in the battles of Aquae Sextiae and Wercellae, until the end of the German Empire, harassed his borders and contributed greatly to his defeat.
The phrase "furor teutonicus" appeared in several Bismarck and Hitler speeches to describe the vigor of the German nation. Expressions of Teutonic frenzy also used in the then Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski in 2007.
