Similar to the chain between Uhud Battle (A.D.624) - Gallipoli Campaign (1915-legendary constituting war of the Kemalist Turkey)-July 15 (2016-legendary constituting 'war' of the Erdoganist Turkey), nation-states make use of historical events to legitimize their current actions.

After Iraq-Iran War in 1980, folkloric production centered around the historic Battle of Qadisiya, where Arab forces defeated Persian Sassanians in A.D.637, to mobilize Iraqi citizens against the Iranian Army (Davis, 1994:99).
Tel Hai Battle (1920) was also a founding legend of the Israeli state, based on the sacrifice of heroic Trumpeldor, which was started to be criticized especially after 1970s and became an ambiguous history/legend open to controversy and transformation (Zerubavel, 1994). Barreto (2009) highlights the importance of the monument in Tel Hai as following:
The nation's glory is exalted in stone, as is the name of the one who made that sacrifice. A memorial like the one at Tel Hai inspires future warriors far more than the cyrpts of kings. (2009:4)
