The main article for this category is Last stands.

Articles relating to last stands, military situations in which a body of troops holds a defensive position in the face of overwhelming and virtually insurmountable odds.[1] Last stands loom large in history, as the heroism and sacrifice of the defenders exert a large pull on the public's imagination. Some last stands have become a celebrated part of a fighting force's or a country's history, especially if the defenders accomplished their goals (or in rare cases, defeated their attackers).
