@LordGeorgeRodney Spain was the tomb of Napoleon, as he himself declared. You didn't liberate the country, you just fought in our soil while destroying our incipient factories to avoid any possible competition in the future.
I am certainly not a Franco fan, but fact is that the Blue Division fought courageously in the Eastern Front. The Germans, who initially despised us, had to acknowledge their valor. Needless to say that they were facing massive Soviet armies.
@LordGeorgeRodney Furthermore, If you keep hailing the great butchery the Charge of the Light Brigade was as a feat, do the same here. I am yet to hear something heroic about the British Free Corps.
@LordGeorgeRodney Fine. What about the Spanish "La Nueve" company, also several thousand men under French flag who among other services liberated Paris? Or Garbo, the Spanish double agent who fooled Hitler and made D-Day successful?
Also, inside the Blue Division were some former Republican soldiers who joined just to avoid prosecution to them and their families. Even the Falangist volunteers weren't strictly "nazis": they were anticommunist, and felt that the USSR was guilty of the civil war.
@LordGeorgeRodney They didn't run away, don't manipulate. They fought well and resisted despite the many casualties, but the enemy superiority was simply overwhelming, and the Soviets didn't care much about the lives of their own troops, as you well know. By 1943 Franco was being pressured by the Allies to withdraw them, which he had to do in order not to face an oil embargo. Our foreign policy during WWII saved us from either becoming a III Reich satellite or cannon fodder for the Allies.
@LordGeorgeRodney I am not saying "only" Spaniards liberated Paris. But the first units who entered the capital and fought in the city centre were composed mainly of Spanish republicans. The French, of course, have always tried to downplay their contribution. We owe nothing to the Allies.
@LordGeorgeRodney Krasny Bor, february 1943: 5900 Spaniards repulsed 44000 Soviets equiped with abundant artillery and tanks. The Spanish casualties were huge, nearly 4000 men, but the Soviet advance was halted and their offensive failed, and they lost between 11000 and 14000 soldiers.
@LordGeorgeRodney Of course, but my point was that our soldiers didn't "run away" as you said. And Spain was never defeated since we never entered the war.
The Division was deployed, fought valiantly against a much larger foe and was later withdrawn due to the Allies' pressure. Franco was indebted to Hitler and it was an intelligent way to repay him without entering a war we were in no condition to fight. Huge losses, yes, but negligible compared to those we would have had in a full alliance.
@LordGeorgeRodney Again, the Blue Division didn't "run away". That expression implies that they fled right after engaging the Soviets, which is false. I will continue to defend this no matter what you say.
Britain sought since the beginning of the war to keep Spain neutral. The British government bribed Spanish officials and exercised a continuous diplomatic pressure. The Royal Navy even held a blockade. Nonetheless, Franco still had to send the Division to appease Hitler.
@LordGeorgeRodney I assume that you are not very familiar with contemporary Spanish history, otherwise I wouldn't be explaining all this.
During his nearly 40 years in power, Franco always maneuvered to counter his many enemies and stay in power. In the 40s the monarchists, mostly anglophile, wanted him to relinquish it in favour of Don Juan, the son of Alfonso XIII. Meanwhile, falangists had open sympathies for Nazi Germany, and Hitler expected a compensation for his help during the Civil War.
@LordGeorgeRodney Franco was aware that both Britain and Germany somehow disliked him: the first ones wanted an anglophile leader; for the second ones he was too "conservative", far from nacional socialism. Both could search for supporters within the two big "families" the regime had back then: monarchists and falangists.
So he played well his cards, first avoiding direct involvement yet still contributing, and later on withdrawing the Division and ending cooperation with Germany.
You may still say, "but Franco was fascist, and he wanted Nazi Germany to win, hence he lost, so the Division". Well, this version is completely false, although very extended in the English-speaking world.
1.-Franco was never fascist, just catholic and conservative, using fascism as a mere façade.
2.-He prefered Germany but an overwhelming Hitler was bad for Spain as well.
3.-It was not our war. The Division was symbolic help, withdrawn when it had more than fulfilled its original objective.
@LordGeorgeRodney Hehe, I see you are resilient... You must receive dozens of messages every day and you still find time to answer me! You honour me, sir!
Anyway, I must continue to defend my thesis: Spain didn't lose WW2 and the Blue Division was a success after all.
As I explain below, the Division was symbolic. By sending it, Franco satisfied Falangist pro-Nazi warmongers, without originally upsetting the Allies and their supporters in Spain -powerful people like the Duke of Alba.
@LordGeorgeRodney At the risk of sounding repetitive, I have to say it again: IT WAS NOT OUR WAR.
Franco would have been delighted with the capitulation of Britain, no doubt about that. But in a Nazi Europe he was as dispensable as anybody else.
So Franco, before fully committing himself, asked for German supplies and African territories. Hitler couldn't give them without irritating Vichy France, something he was in no condition to do. He also thought Spain would be quite a liability.
@LordGeorgeRodney Meanwhile, Britain was doing its utmost to keep Spain out of the war -check your fellow Englishman Michael Alpert-. We highly depended upon Allied supplies.
So, to keep the political balance, dodge Hitler's ambitions and not suffer a catastrofic Allied embargo the idea of a volunteer's division came along.
Later on, when Germany started to lose the East Front and the Allies were stronger, it was withdrawn. But that triple objective was accomplished. We had succeeded.
@paladinee Spain -together with a handful of countries like Sweden and Switzerland- managed to keep its independence between 1939 and 1945. The Blue Division wasn't thought to "win WWII", but to pay back Hitler's support to the nationals during our civil war.
Franco had natural sympathies for Germany, with whom we had never been at war, and not for the UK and France, historical enemies of Spain. But he didn't fully commit himself to one party, ensuring a balance which was the best thing for us.
@paladinee For Spain, torn apart after a 3-year civil war, directly joining either the Allies or the Axis would have meant becoming a mere cannon fodder supplier.
Had we joined the Allies the most we could have won would have been Marshall Plan's help. With Germany the defeat could have implied the mutilation of Spain.
Whatever. Spain acted quite honorably during WWII. The volunteers at the Eastern Front never engaged in war crimes, and our diplomats saved thousands of Jews from deportation.
@LordGeorgeRodney The Tercios were busy fighting the Moors and turks and Dutch, French German princes, Swedes etc and defending frontiers all over the planet. See in Spain alone the the Coastline.
In Cádiz what the English found in there sneak surprise attack was above all civilians. As in Tenerife, 1797, Cádiz, 1625 etc where they lost as in Azores (1589) (1591) (1594) (1597) Ostend (1601-1604) La Hispaniola (1655) Cuba ´(1757) etc
For face to face combat with the Tercios: Breda (1624-25)
"All that dark hair"? Methinks this English lad is mistaking Mexico and Spain -such is "education" (sic) today in UK. Or maybe it´s the movie "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" that has LGR "confused." In said propaganda film the "Spaniards" (sic) where played (except Jordi Molla) by non-Spaniards, i. e. by Britons who very much resembled England´s and Elizabeth I´s close allies and soulmates: The Turks.
@LordGeorgeRodney hahah our complexes are delicious...i cant see an difference between an slav and an brit ...exept that the typical english behavior is to act like an gay ...maybe thats why so many of ur Woman are coming every year to Spain to find some men there hahahaha xDDD
@RedDeadRevolva lol you want to talk about men that act gay they don't come more flamboyant than the Spanish just last year it was estimated that around 8 million Spanish citizens have British ancestry and the number is growing the British diaspora is taking over your country and there's nothing you can do about it as Spanish women love British dick haha English will be your first language soon .
@Deadeye012011 hahaha theories over theories...i guess the brittish genpool looks even worser :> ...and btw its easy to see that Brittish girls are in FACT more sleeping around with us or other southlanders then otherwise :> ....btw from the importance maybe english is worldlanguage ...but in fact spanish is more spreedet lol ...and empires rise and fall ...an other fact meaning what at the end will remain is who breedet the most ;) ....btw read John Pattison brits are already nearly gone :D
@RedDeadRevolva well if that's so why is the British PM s wife Spanish ? why is the deputy PM s wife Spanish Spanish woman love British dick face it we are superior to you British Culture breeds success look at countries like the U.S Australia and Canada all Anglo Saxon based nations name 1 former colony that has the Spanish culture that is a success story like ours ? .
@Deadeye012011 1/2 but also u have to see other happenings or situations in context to historical happenings ...the spanish empire had an much difficulter terrain + the try to coexisten with the indegenious meaning not killing them all or enslave them but also to change there culture etc ...with revolts and other wars of course it scattered ...and u rised up ...thats history as it allways goes in human happenings...so? what does that at the end say when u face the genetic survivel ? we r more
@Deadeye012011 if u think logical u will quickly realise that of course there are also spanish woman with "brittish" man together as thats normal in an "connectet world" with exchanges ...but as i said the reality is that much more Brittish woman have non brittish man then otherwise but of course it does not mean that every brittish woman or man etc etc blabla ...superior?...well its a fact that the anglo saxonic countries are in fact on the top at these times ...
@Deadeye012011 That's because most of them were supposed to be Vice Royalties. The Brits infiltrated the governments of the Vice Royalties with the goal of destroying the Spanish Empire in the America's. They also instigated the rise of many independence movements and unfortunately they succeeded. It's much easier to do than open war, now all that's left are poor third-world countries...If hadn't been for their damn nuisance it would have been a different story.
@Deadeye012011 btw it was your people's very actions that led to a violent revolution and the birth of a new nation, you cannot claim responsibility for the U.S. That just leaves Canada and Australia....
@TopAce777 ask yourself this look at your founding fathers all but 2 of them were WASP all but 2 of your presidents have been WASP even Obamas a WASP in black skin and lets not forget your constitution that heavily borrows from the Magna Carta your sports are variations of our games i don't deny other people have influenced America in fact id say the Germans come quite close to Anglo Saxon influence in America but no nation and its people have had quite as much influence in the U.S a the English
@refuckulate420, I quite agree with what you say, please join the discussion in Lord george rodney´s main channel, it is much more interesting there, and also in albertohWP´s Part1 of Great Spanish Victories.You´ll be more than welcome.
True,but the title is unrecognisable to English speakers, and a big PLUS is that being in Spanish means less than 0.00000000001% of English speakers will ever know what its about, nand Spanish victories v England was removed by the author v.quickly and re worded, Great Spanish victories. I know you´ll do as you wish, but I´m just asking you to consider the new trend, otherwise the taking offense just spirals more and more out of control. And we wouldnt want to spoil the fun would we.
To be honest I didnt think you did, still had trouble with thatvid before, anyway doesnt matter, the others work..If you renamed your vids Great British Victories, you wouldnt upset so many folk, like me, I´m from Spain, and you could still express yourself (if you must), as we who write to you are in some way your "colleages" and we spend quite a lot of our time writing to you, and to be honest, having a laugh on more than 1 occasion, it is in a way entertainment ! We should all be paid for it
When the embarrassing news of the outcome reached London some weeks later, the British government removed these medals and prohibited the news from being disclosed and published. Following the news of the disaster Robert Walpole's government soon collapsed and Spain retained control over its very lucrative colony, and over a strategic port in the Caribbean that helped secure the defense of the Spanish Main. News of Britain's defeat reached Europe at the end of June and had immense repercussions.
We captured Havana & Manila 1762 & this had even more repercussions...LOL!!
Gibaltar 1782 September the largest assault 75,000 Spanish & a few Frenchmen watched by 75,000 Spanish civilians promised to witness 'the British flag trailing in the dust'
Boy were they in for a shock!
difference Spanish use weather & disease as an excuse for their victory much like we use ours for Spanish armada disaster in 1588.
Hahaha...Your history knowledge is embarrassing but at least we can all laugh.
British regulars have been defeated by Spanish militia before LOL. LOL @ when spain took back Minorca as well. Britain not very good at defending its resources!
Thanks Spain and France for the helping hand during the revolution LOL. Helped us smack some english dogs around.
I'm not from Spain I just laugh hard at picking apart dimwitted nationalist dogs like yourself.
I don't have any problem dealing with history, you are the one who apparently does.
A British army was slaughtered by AFGHANS...AFGHANS. You guys have suffered horrible defeats on numerous occasions and were RULED BY FRANCE LOL ROFLMAO LOLROFLMAO ROFLMAO.
ROFLMAO!!! That same militia destroyed British veterans at New Orleans! YOU'RE RIGHT IT IS FUNNY! LMAO...oh god you are too much fun picking on. Uneducated Brits are so easy when all they know is their version of history.
You've had AN ENTIRE ARMY SLAUGHTERED BY AFGHANS. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO
British dogs they make me laugh! Go eat some fish and chips and masturbate to paintings of Wellington.
You yanks always bang on about New Orleans. Why? Because it was the only significant battle the US won!
1812? US' #1 priority was to annex Canada which it failed to achieve (being kicked out 6 times by a tiny force of Redcoats and Canadian militia.) GB's #1 priority was to keep hold of her sovereign overseas territory which we successfully achieved. Not to mention how DC (& the White House) burned so bright, resulting in a wild conflagration that could be seen 50 miles away!
Huh? New Orleans was significant because a larger force of better quality troops attacked a smaller force and lost.
There are other battles we won of course but maybe you are to narrow minded or ignorant to realize anything through that nationalistic mindset of yours.
Why do you always drone on about burning the White House? We burn down your Parliament buildings you burn down our White House, fair trade. Anyway it actually drew troops away from where they were needed.
Listen, regardless of how many troops you have, if you march in the open with no cover against forces well dug in behind a wall, the end result will be inevitable.
New Orleans was well planned but for the Redcoats on the day, everything that could go wrong for them did.
Bang on about the White House?! Is it not your capital building, located in DC, your capital city? If completely destroying something as important as that isn't significant then I don't know what is!
New Orleans had no significance on the outcome of the conflict itself. US expansionism (it's #1 priority) into British North America (Canada) completely failed even though GB's forces were horribly outnumbered. GB's #1 priority (to maintain it's sovereign overseas territory) was successful. 1812 was but a skirmish in GB's eyes, a mere side-note as Napoleon was the real threat thus 90% of all Brit forces were in that theatre.
The US gained nothing other than a very bloody nose and 20,000 dead.
Lol 17,000 dead from disease. Casualties of war. US didn't have a bloody nose at all you need to get your facts straight.
Yes Napoleon was the real threat. Thank goodness Prussia, Russia and Austria were there to take him out. Haha moronic Brits and their poor understanding of history always makes me laugh.
You are a fool. I know a great many died from disease but is not a death still a death? The facts are that GB (whilst busy dealing with Napoleon) defeated several numerical superior US armies even though our presence in that theatre was extremely limited.
GB succeeded in it's #1 objective - to hold Canada whilst the US FAILED in it's objective to annex it. That (in a nutshell) is the simple truth of the matter.
Trouble with American education, they teach a load of biased BS.
Lol dumb ass did you forget the part where I don't care? You are the one who care about proving something to a stranger over youtube not me. You are a moron and I am laughing.
U.S. has lost a few wars and GB has had it's share of defeats as well. It's history. Stop getting your panties in a twist over it like Rodney here.
Well since your understanding of history is limited let me explain it to you.
Burning the White House was revenge for the burning of the Parliament buildings, big deal. All it did was draw troops away from where they were needed and anger Americans neutral to the war.
So go ahead and drone on about burning the White House you pathetic ignoramus.
LOL poor little child. I don't care what you say over the internet, ever. You are nothing but barrels of laughs of to me. An immense pleasure with every idiotic and historically ignorant response you give.
@refuckulate420 so what no one has beaten the Afghans,if the English could have used all their forces they would have beaten them,also don't see anything of the Spanish or French winning there either,that's because they didn't have the guts to try,to busy surrendering every where else or running away from battles
@refuckulate420 and who have beaten the Afghans?Also what exactly is my ignorance in stating that the Spaniards and French did nothing but surrender or run away,refuckulate?
Haha clearly that was a joke. I understand you have rage issues but calm down child. I know you like sucking Rodneys cock and all but it's just history.
OMFG! and what in that paragraph made you think i have 'rage issues'?
hahahahahaaaaaa! ok, so you say that you don't care about what people are saying on here. If that is the case then why do you waste your time arguing and defending yourself?
Well this IS the internet. How serious and emotional are you going to get over it, really?
It's ok you are young and have a lot to learn. Maybe you will one day. Your country has a great education system maybe you should make better use of it.
i agree this LordGeorgeRodney guy and fuckin rule britannia guy bullshit or whatever guy is way too proud about these damn victories against spanish stuff that he refuses to acknowledge that spain actually had its share of victories against britain or should i say more accurately England, and some downright humiliating ones too on land and sea.
What's childish is someone that adds LOL and ROFL after every comment as if it adds more force to it. You make yourself look about 12 when you do that.
Why would I have any discussion with an ignorant child like you? The only war relevant to me regarding Britain we won so I couldn't care less about the rest of your victories or your country.
Remember though it was Napoleon who had an era named after him not Wellington.
Where despite warring in Europe we managed to repel every single invasion of Canada, hold a part of the US north West, & burn down the White House & terrorizing your Eastern seaboard!
Like I said Napoleon is the one with his own era named after him, not Wellington.
You guys may have helped fund some of those countries but you certainly did not put forth nearly the same manpower or take nearly the amount of casualties or accomplish nearly as much. Sucks to be you.
my favorite campaign is the conquest and desolation of the north England in 1067, when the english had to eat...themselves...beark, not very a good taste, isn't it..?!

@LordGeorgeRodney Fine. What about the Spanish "La Nueve" company, also several thousand men under French flag who among other services liberated Paris? Or Garbo, the Spanish double agent who fooled Hitler and made D-Day successful?
Also, inside the Blue Division were some former Republican soldiers who joined just to avoid prosecution to them and their families. Even the Falangist volunteers weren't strictly "nazis": they were anticommunist, and felt that the USSR was guilty of the civil war.

@HerrOttoKranz The Spanish ran away from Eastern front after realising they were on wrong side.
The perhaps the Spanish liberating Paris is an understatement to what actually happened..
LordGeorgeRodney 6 months ago
@LordGeorgeRodney They didn't run away, don't manipulate. They fought well and resisted despite the many casualties, but the enemy superiority was simply overwhelming, and the Soviets didn't care much about the lives of their own troops, as you well know. By 1943 Franco was being pressured by the Allies to withdraw them, which he had to do in order not to face an oil embargo. Our foreign policy during WWII saved us from either becoming a III Reich satellite or cannon fodder for the Allies.
HerrOttoKranz 6 months ago
@LordGeorgeRodney I am not saying "only" Spaniards liberated Paris. But the first units who entered the capital and fought in the city centre were composed mainly of Spanish republicans. The French, of course, have always tried to downplay their contribution. We owe nothing to the Allies.
HerrOttoKranz 6 months ago
@LordGeorgeRodney Krasny Bor, february 1943: 5900 Spaniards repulsed 44000 Soviets equiped with abundant artillery and tanks. The Spanish casualties were huge, nearly 4000 men, but the Soviet advance was halted and their offensive failed, and they lost between 11000 and 14000 soldiers.

@HerrOttoKranz A great fight yes..
But irrelevant since it was a defeat for Germany and Spain in the end : (
The Soviets won didn't they ?
LordGeorgeRodney 6 months ago
@LordGeorgeRodney Of course, but my point was that our soldiers didn't "run away" as you said. And Spain was never defeated since we never entered the war.
The Division was deployed, fought valiantly against a much larger foe and was later withdrawn due to the Allies' pressure. Franco was indebted to Hitler and it was an intelligent way to repay him without entering a war we were in no condition to fight. Huge losses, yes, but negligible compared to those we would have had in a full alliance.

@LordGeorgeRodney Again, the Blue Division didn't "run away". That expression implies that they fled right after engaging the Soviets, which is false. I will continue to defend this no matter what you say.
Britain sought since the beginning of the war to keep Spain neutral. The British government bribed Spanish officials and exercised a continuous diplomatic pressure. The Royal Navy even held a blockade. Nonetheless, Franco still had to send the Division to appease Hitler.
HerrOttoKranz 5 months ago
@LordGeorgeRodney I assume that you are not very familiar with contemporary Spanish history, otherwise I wouldn't be explaining all this.
During his nearly 40 years in power, Franco always maneuvered to counter his many enemies and stay in power. In the 40s the monarchists, mostly anglophile, wanted him to relinquish it in favour of Don Juan, the son of Alfonso XIII. Meanwhile, falangists had open sympathies for Nazi Germany, and Hitler expected a compensation for his help during the Civil War.
HerrOttoKranz 5 months ago
@LordGeorgeRodney Franco was aware that both Britain and Germany somehow disliked him: the first ones wanted an anglophile leader; for the second ones he was too "conservative", far from nacional socialism. Both could search for supporters within the two big "families" the regime had back then: monarchists and falangists.
So he played well his cards, first avoiding direct involvement yet still contributing, and later on withdrawing the Division and ending cooperation with Germany.
HerrOttoKranz 5 months ago
You may still say, "but Franco was fascist, and he wanted Nazi Germany to win, hence he lost, so the Division". Well, this version is completely false, although very extended in the English-speaking world.
1.-Franco was never fascist, just catholic and conservative, using fascism as a mere façade.
2.-He prefered Germany but an overwhelming Hitler was bad for Spain as well.
3.-It was not our war. The Division was symbolic help, withdrawn when it had more than fulfilled its original objective.

@LordGeorgeRodney Hehe, I see you are resilient... You must receive dozens of messages every day and you still find time to answer me! You honour me, sir!
Anyway, I must continue to defend my thesis: Spain didn't lose WW2 and the Blue Division was a success after all.
As I explain below, the Division was symbolic. By sending it, Franco satisfied Falangist pro-Nazi warmongers, without originally upsetting the Allies and their supporters in Spain -powerful people like the Duke of Alba.
HerrOttoKranz 5 months ago
@LordGeorgeRodney At the risk of sounding repetitive, I have to say it again: IT WAS NOT OUR WAR.
Franco would have been delighted with the capitulation of Britain, no doubt about that. But in a Nazi Europe he was as dispensable as anybody else.
So Franco, before fully committing himself, asked for German supplies and African territories. Hitler couldn't give them without irritating Vichy France, something he was in no condition to do. He also thought Spain would be quite a liability.
HerrOttoKranz 5 months ago
@LordGeorgeRodney Meanwhile, Britain was doing its utmost to keep Spain out of the war -check your fellow Englishman Michael Alpert-. We highly depended upon Allied supplies.
So, to keep the political balance, dodge Hitler's ambitions and not suffer a catastrofic Allied embargo the idea of a volunteer's division came along.
Later on, when Germany started to lose the East Front and the Allies were stronger, it was withdrawn. But that triple objective was accomplished. We had succeeded.

paladinee 2 months ago
@paladinee Spain -together with a handful of countries like Sweden and Switzerland- managed to keep its independence between 1939 and 1945. The Blue Division wasn't thought to "win WWII", but to pay back Hitler's support to the nationals during our civil war.
Franco had natural sympathies for Germany, with whom we had never been at war, and not for the UK and France, historical enemies of Spain. But he didn't fully commit himself to one party, ensuring a balance which was the best thing for us.
HerrOttoKranz 2 months ago
@paladinee For Spain, torn apart after a 3-year civil war, directly joining either the Allies or the Axis would have meant becoming a mere cannon fodder supplier.
Had we joined the Allies the most we could have won would have been Marshall Plan's help. With Germany the defeat could have implied the mutilation of Spain.
Whatever. Spain acted quite honorably during WWII. The volunteers at the Eastern Front never engaged in war crimes, and our diplomats saved thousands of Jews from deportation.

When the embarrassing news of the outcome reached London some weeks later, the British government removed these medals and prohibited the news from being disclosed and published. Following the news of the disaster Robert Walpole's government soon collapsed and Spain retained control over its very lucrative colony, and over a strategic port in the Caribbean that helped secure the defense of the Spanish Main. News of Britain's defeat reached Europe at the end of June and had immense repercussions.

You yanks always bang on about New Orleans. Why? Because it was the only significant battle the US won!
1812? US' #1 priority was to annex Canada which it failed to achieve (being kicked out 6 times by a tiny force of Redcoats and Canadian militia.) GB's #1 priority was to keep hold of her sovereign overseas territory which we successfully achieved. Not to mention how DC (& the White House) burned so bright, resulting in a wild conflagration that could be seen 50 miles away!

There are other battles we won of course but maybe you are to narrow minded or ignorant to realize anything through that nationalistic mindset of yours.

Listen, regardless of how many troops you have, if you march in the open with no cover against forces well dug in behind a wall, the end result will be inevitable.
New Orleans was well planned but for the Redcoats on the day, everything that could go wrong for them did.
Bang on about the White House?! Is it not your capital building, located in DC, your capital city? If completely destroying something as important as that isn't significant then I don't know what is!
nigee008 2 years ago
New Orleans had no significance on the outcome of the conflict itself. US expansionism (it's #1 priority) into British North America (Canada) completely failed even though GB's forces were horribly outnumbered. GB's #1 priority (to maintain it's sovereign overseas territory) was successful. 1812 was but a skirmish in GB's eyes, a mere side-note as Napoleon was the real threat thus 90% of all Brit forces were in that theatre.
The US gained nothing other than a very bloody nose and 20,000 dead.

@usnrable Yea most Brits don't like admitting they lost. They lost quite a few times actually.

Repeating things doesn't make them true. You are too ignorant to be discussing anything with.

Do you admit that you LOST a war?

Cus you did...

@LordGeorgeRodney
What's childish is someone that adds LOL and ROFL after every comment as if it adds more force to it. You make yourself look about 12 when you do that.
Why would I have any discussion with an ignorant child like you? The only war relevant to me regarding Britain we won so I couldn't care less about the rest of your victories or your country.
Remember though it was Napoleon who had an era named after him not Wellington.

@refuckulate420
really how about War of 1812?
Where despite warring in Europe we managed to repel every single invasion of Canada, hold a part of the US north West, & burn down the White House & terrorizing your Eastern seaboard!
LordGeorgeRodney 2 years ago
Like I said I only care about the 1 war that is relevant and we kicked ass in that :).

And you won against Napoleon thanks to Austria, Prussia and Russia I fail to see why allies would detract from anything, nice try though.
They might have helped but we won the majority of battles with our forces.

@refuckulate420

The French in 1811 lost 25,000 men on it retreat back to Spain

Napoleons Continental system fucked up & blew in his face...
besides once we had his navy beaten up including the Spanish we took every single French & Dutch colony & made it our own!
Malta is my favourite siege as the French had to eat rats ..LOL!

Like I said Napoleon is the one with his own era named after him, not Wellington.
You guys may have helped fund some of those countries but you certainly did not put forth nearly the same manpower or take nearly the amount of casualties or accomplish nearly as much. Sucks to be you.

@refuckulate420
It was cheaper than sending troops as we had troops all over the world to fight & take the French Dutch Spanish colonies..
We had our glory on the sea & on land in particular Peninsula war...

And there you go with the LOL's again. If you are trying to stir me up or convince me of something it's failing at an epic level.

Wellington won in the end Waterloo was his victory..
we have many French canons melted down & used in our statues..
Hell even the bollards of Trafalgar square are used French or even Spanish canon...

Waterloo was an allied victory. And good for you, congrats.

sorry 'we won'
Who's we?
I don't recall the King of France being King of England
I do recall the English Kingdom of France with an English monarch being head of state... or dual monarchy
Treaty of Troyes treaty of Bretigny forging the English colonies of France
