@LordGeorgeRodney lmao that explains alot :) btw your vids are awesome :) i love all the hate you get from french and spanish patriots who dont know their own history as well as you do :P
Have you not seen the coins King George made before the attack was over and how he tried to cover it up?Why would he do that?If he tried to cover that up my only guess would be it was not the first or last time.In fact most of British History is being questioned by many scholars from battles to massacres that the British Empire claimed never happened yet the Indian populations do not lie in North America,Africa and Australia.
@LordGeorgeRodney Funny how Cuba stayed Spanish.Also do you have some Cartegena coins?LOL.I mean wow,your king was so ashamed he tried to hide the fact.That says a lot about a nation.Why would he hide it?LOL.Funny how my two lineages have hade glorious victories over you British cunts,one terrified you and the other dropped you to a 3rd rate nation.
What happened to 1741?Hello,the largest fleet ever to sail until the Normandy invasion?Still don't remember?Admiral Vernon headed to Cartagena "Colombia" with the largest fleet ever sailed at the time and was defeated by an inferior force by Blas de Lezo.In fact it was so humiliating that King George II tried to hide the defeat.Stupid Brit.
@LordGeorgeRodney Spain has suffered defeats as many nations have but none have ever gone to great lengths as to cover it up as the British have.I mean you have tried to cover up not only battles but massacres too.What a filthy class of people you British truly are.Like I said Indian population numbers do no lie.
@LordGeorgeRodney Dumb ass Brit,if you look at Indian populations alone it is evident who committed true genocide,North America 6 million, South America over 60 million.Shall I bring up Australia and Africa?Yes I'll say no more...
@OurOxygen all nations cover up some form or another
The Spanish & French tried to cover up Trafalgar..
In fact they even said it was a spectacular victory!
''Our victory was now complete, and we prepared to take possession of our prizes; but the elements were this time unfavourable to us; a dreadful storm came on — Gravina made his escape to his own Ship at the beginning of it — the Commander in Chief, Villeneuve, and a Spanish Admiral, were unable, and remained on board the Victory''
@LordGeorgeRodney So Spain and France tried to cover up their defeat by royal decree?And made coins before the battle was over?And even buried the commander with the lie?LOL.I know it hurts but damn.Royal decree?That is like a kid who peed on the bed and is trying to hide it.LOL.
@LordGeorgeRodney I am sorry but your word means shit.Being a Brit is a defect in today's world,hence 3rd rate nation.Nothing you say can be trusted,I mean you guys still say "God save the queen" which is said to be the most oxymoron comment of the 21st century and yet you do it.
@LordGeorgeRodney Please they hold 1 trillion of our 15 trillion debt,the other 14 is held privately in the United States.Our economy is worth over 500 trillion,and beside we have not had any debt purchased from China since 2010.But that is all fiat,it matters not.My government is a cancer and are running our debt on purpose,why else buy weapons we do not need and prop nations up when we cannot afford it?Corporate America and the Military Industrial complex are killing my nation cont.
by keeping us in perpetual warfare with no end in sight.Pakistan is probably my cancerous governments next target,and here we go again with another Iraq.
@LordGeorgeRodney With the recent "so called "attempt on a Saudi diplomat in a American embassy,which I believe was done by my government.My government is laying blame on Pakistan and a new terror group that is "supposed" to be more organized than Alciada.It is all propaganda.
@OW41N There is a difference,no one states that phrase as a patriotic blinder .The "in God We Trust" was implemented by religious nuts in my government not by the people.In fact many citizens want it stricken from our money supply as well as the all seeing eye and the star of David,which none have anything to do with "we the people" or our nation.
@OurOxygen and we the people have decided to keep the queen, why should us brits listen to what you yanks say? if we want to have a royal family, then we will have one, if you dont like it, then you can shove it up your arse, im afraid we have no intention on paying a blind bit of notice as to what you say :)
@OurOxygen oh right you guys seem to think that you were the only country to have a civil war, sorry i forgot about your pig headedness, we had three civil wars, on one side the royalists and on the other was parliament, real nasty time in our history, but we had the restoration, which meant the monarchy would stay, put that in your pipe and smoke it matey
@OW41N I know about your civil wars that amounted to shit,why fight the crown 3 times to have it restored?A bit backwards.Your queen still holds power over crown colonies,she does choose their governor generals.Not bad for a so called national icon.
@OurOxygen then you have not done your research, it all comes down to the fact that the people did not want the king killed, but parliament did it anyway and then o.c took charge in a dictatorship that was basically being a king in all but name, however not alot of people liked the puritan way of life, infact most people hated it and welcomed king charles II back with open arms, try reading some books mate, like the brigadier peter young's the english civil wars just a suggestion
@OW41N You Brits should of killed the royal family and became a republic.Not wanting the king dead?Wow.Just how mindless and brainwashed could of your countrymen truly of been?Yea ok maybe no one liked the puritan way of life but why not just do away with it instead of bringing the crown back?I just do not get that logic of having a royal family over you,as if they were truly better than any other Brit walking around.
@OurOxygen we didnt want to simple as, our monarchy has never done anything stupid to be honest, and we are happy with it, why should we change because a texan tells us to? and ofcourse you cant contemplate it, its because you are a republican at heart, thats why your family fucked off to the states from wherever they came :P couldnt make it over here in europe, but you dont hear me telling you what you should do with your country do you? because its none of my business and it works both ways
@OW41N Nothing stupid?LOL.My family left the cesspit that was Europe in the late 1600's,as well as many Brits too.Cannot blame people for wanting a better life.Also I am not telling you to do shit,in fact my comment was not even to you.My comment was over the "God save the Queen" propaganda you Brits have and how it is the 21st century's most Oxymoron statement.I never told you to do shit.Now if my words hurt your feelings than I am sorry but I can say what the fuck I want.
@OurOxygen read your comments matey you just lied :P your not offending me im just telling you to mind your own business, and europe isnt a cesspit, wel maybe france is :P america was not a better life, you had slavery something the british empire abolished way before you did, it was full of fanatic christians, puritans mainly, now i still wouldnt move there, i would like to live in canada though, that is a very pretty country,
@OW41N I said "should of"as in past tense.You guys abolished slavery in 1834 officially throughout the empire we did in 1865,not much longer.And yes Canada is very Beautiful.
@OurOxygen you think you can say what you want but you actually cant, freedom of speech isnt actually all its cracked up to be, especially with the sue everything nature of your country, its quite pathetic, your quite lucky i gave you the time of day :)

LOOOL I see that at the end of your video you put VICTORY! for who? you are refering for Spain, aren't you? Austrian Succession War=Franco-spanish victory, War of jenkin's ear... well I don't need to say nothiong... xd LOSERS
Spain was the empire were the sun never set, the first nation in defeat Napoleon,the nation who saved Europe in 2 times of a mushlim invasion,the nation who discovered america,the first nation in have possesions in all the continents,the nation with an invencible army during 2 CENTURIES...Spain was an empire,Britain,was an isles full of pirates.
What about the ''invencible english'' commanded by Sir Francis (Pirate) Drake?What about the defeat of Lord Nelson (Pirate) in the attack to Tenerife? The isle was defended by over 300 mans and Nelson tought they were mora than 5,000.And what about that famous sentence...''The spanish pride humillated by vernon'' LOOOOL biggest owned in history.Blas de Lezo in ur face.
@Caraunio Tanto Vernon,tanto Nelson,tanton Georgeus como se llame... Lezo si que era un jodido heroe y no esa panda de maricas piratas que por saquear un barco mercante escribian libros y erigian monumentos.Ya es hora de que nos reconozcan como lo que fuimos,como un gran imperio que desayunaba franceses,comía musulmanes y cenaba ingleses.
@RTO41 No lo habría podido expresar con mejores palabras maese RTO41! Y encima nos pasa el video de los dos guardias que capturaron y de los dos navíos que saquearon sin ponernos el final, es como si nos dijeran que los persas vencieron a los espartanos en las Termópilas pero ni Platea ni Salamina, son ingleses qué esperabas?
Oh you British make me laugh! Always making up victories and hiding defeats... how humiliating was for "great" Britain the defeat against Blas de Lezo in Cartagena de Indias... that blows all the victories against the Spanish!
Tranquilos que todas esas "victorias" precedían a una derrota mucho mayor para los descendientes de bárbaros que se pintaban de azul mientras en España se escribían libros y se erigían monumentos y que usan el latín para culturizar su propia lengua no latina, y no me da la gana rebajarme a escribir en Inglés, a Blas de Lezo no le gustaría.
@LordGeorgeRodney eso es lo que pasa cuando te juntas con Gabachos (seguro que no entiendes esta palabra) y Don Blas de Lezo se merienda a tu Jorge Augusto. Qué pasa? desde cuando los españoles tenemos pintas de franceses? te recuerdo que NINGUNA guerra la han ganado los ingleses contra los españoles, sólo que habéis tenido suerte y hemos perdido nosotros, además España dominó el mundo Inglaterra nunca!!!
Victorias? el 90% ataques al estilo pirata para robar, vuestro ejercito carecia de valor para enfrentarse a los tercios españoles, incluso con fuerzas inferiores resultabais humillados como por ejemplo en Cartagena de indias (sup Vernon?) o en Tenerife.
@jollyradical Dont try and worm your way around what you already said, Like its abundantly clear, you just love to make comments without thinking them through, And like your comment below its another one of your obnoxious opinions, Your historical facts are akin to those involving anything you want to believe ill wager,
I see below you being unable to retort with anything but fuck off to begin with as a "fact" Thus dont cry because i told you how it is in an unfriendly way
The most significan battle in the Jenkins ear war was the battle for Cartagena de Indias in Nueva granada (Colombia). 186 british ships (bigger navy than the Armada Invencible) and 72000 british troops were killed against 3000 Spanish soldiers and 6 ships. That victory means that South America will be Spanish for another 100 years
@LordGeorgeRodney I can say that Spanish armada casualties die in the ships. Bad weather conditions. Not British weapons!!. Despite of that, the british ships sunked in Colombia were 186, 66 more than the Spanish Armada. As you can see, killing only 1200 british, the rest of the coward troops return to die in the ships, so you have 1200 soldiers and 70800 cowards. Nice armada...
@LordGeorgeRodney Lol!!!. Are you angry??. That's the info your contry sells to you. The history is really different. In real history, Spain keep domaining in America during another 100 years. And British never try another attack like that against Spanish troops. Only coward pirates like 'Sir' Francis Drake who became Sir stoling gold to Spanish Ships
@LordGeorgeRodney But you didn't.... Despite of that.... Manila is in Philiphinnes. That's mean, not America. Philiphines was controled by Spanish Empire until 1898. And Havana..... don't make me laugh. We could destroy London if the Storms doesn't destroys our armada in front of British coast
@joseinasio No he just owned, humiliated and pointed you out for your rather poor attempt at taking a dig at Britain because of your own defeat, Grow the balls and do what your forefathers did and know when to accept you were defeated, And when to acknowledge when you won a Victoria, As you can do neither im assuming you are obviously a coward
@LordGeorgeRodney And don't think I'm angry with you. I thanks to the british for the victory Navy against The Spanish-French Navy. If you never won that battle, in Spain could be speakin French. Thak's a lot for that!. And you must know that the family of Admiral Nelson, live in Spain now... ;-)
lord George rodney.. hay mas mucho mas...puedes empezar por......Luis vicente e isla.....aunque en vuestros colegios solo os cuentas vuestras victorios......pero la historia esta ahi..saludos
My lovely farmer from the gloomy island, you should take care about your language, it is not typical form a British education, or perhaps it is just a matter to pressure in the corret wound and Shepherd's Islanders shows the real thief you have in...always envying the richness of others countries....BTW who use to bow are your British fellow female in our beautiful and sunny beaches, sangria helps her to lose their Puritan mentality!!
@LordGeorgeRodney ....se que enlos colegios britanicos solo cuentan las victorias .ahora te cuento yo las derrotas britanicas.....puedes empezar por otro marinoespañol...LUIS VICENTE E ISLA.....y hay muchos mas ..un saludo desde ibiza
The war later was subsumed into the greater conflict of the War of the Austrian Succession. The battle ended in a major defeat and heavy losses for the British: 50 ships lost, badly damaged or abandoned for lack of crew, and losses of 18,000 soldiers and sailors...
@LordGeorgeRodney Thank the wonderful storms. What an interesting example of English power. Of course right after that the English depleted their treasury in order to launch their own armada at a weakened Spain. It was a financial and military disaster that embarrassed the English for years. Spain quickly went on to build an even bigger fleet than before and resume control of her lanes.
Not something the English like to remember as they hate to be reminded of their beatings.
@LordGeorgeRodney England was not prepared to resist such an invasion. Had nature not saved your butts and the troops landed, you' d be speaking Spanish right now. Spain however was never in that kind of danger.
Cadiz was a combined Anglo-Dutch victory. It did a lot of damage, but didn't complete most of it's objectives. There isn't much to brag about. The Anglo-Spanish war was a war of attrition and had to end in a treaty because both countries were bankrupting themselves.
@jollyradical In the same way certain parts of "Spain" are a constant reminder to them of their defeat just like the French and Russians at the hands of Britain through history? The same could be applied by all countries, The different is unlike Spain, France, And many others in Britain we learned from our mistakes and did better for it, Something other European Empires -failed- to do as we can see from history
@1MagicAndMayhem1 There's nothing to understand because you said nothing, not a damn thing. What is your point? What mistakes did the British learn from. How did they do better? What the fuck are you talking about?
@jollyradical Happy to drop comments about it yet not actually that well schooled in it?
Go and pick up a history book, and use the comparisons that made British the most successful Empire for 200 years compared to its European neighbors who made the same mistakes thus leading to their eventual decline . .
Im not your teacher, and dont want to be the teacher of someone as ignorant as you
@1MagicAndMayhem1 There is no argument for me to escape from as you refuse to even describe what it is you're talking about. I know the definition of troll. Every one of your comments to me has been inflammatory. Stupid, dumbass, ignorant and bigot seem to be your words of choice.
@jollyradical Nope, I tell it how it is, And made it clear what you are judging from your comments, I suggest you go look back at your own comments, and my replies, then think on your answer, as we are still waiting on it
@1MagicAndMayhem1 All of this channel's videos judge on the Spanish empire. It's all in good fun and I responded in kind. The channel's owner answered with verifiable historical facts as did I and he was respectful enough not to insult me personally. You however are by definition a troll, popping out of nowhere, babbling about vague lessons the British learned, refusing to clarify anything and throwing more and more insults.
@jollyradical Good at seeing the fault in others but cant appreciate what you do yourself right? Like i said, your a moron and a coward, Your attempt to "correct" him were nonsense and your stupid opinion little boy.
"England was not prepared "
"Thank the wonderful storms."
Ring any bells you twat?
Your obnoxious opinion, you then go on insult and use dark sarcasm, this is all you are made of,
@1MagicAndMayhem1 Now I'm certain you're trolling, but ok let's add moron, coward and twat to your list of insults and unless you're lying about your profile age then you're the little boy here.
Nice try, but England's inability to resist a land invasion and the storms that nearly wiped out the Spanish armada, highly appreciated by the English, are historical facts not obnoxious opinions and your obnoxious opinions of my name or sense of humor is irrelevant.
The Battle of Gravelines and the fireships at Calais PLUS the fact that the English channel was blocked by our Navy and this forced the Spanish to go round the really really hard way!!
It was an English victory alright because we had a brain the Spanish did not
They ended up being washed ashore all over British Isles particularly Ireland where they were piked by the awaiting English & Irish
The greatest battle ever fought was at Gibraltar 1782
70,000 Spanish & French under Cordova were repulsed by us Brits numbering less than 5,000 during the Grand assault ! 9 ships of the line were sunk as much as at Trafalgar!!!
The Battle of Cartagena de Indias was a massive amphibious military engagement, then called a 'descent', between the forces of Britain under Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon and Spain under Admiral Blas de Lezo. It took place at the city of Cartagena de Indias, population 10,000, in March 1741, in present-day Colombia. It was the most significant battle in the War of Jenkins' Ear and one of the largest naval campaigns in British history, though it is now largely forgotten.
the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V said he spoke latin with God, italian with musicians, spanish with soldiers, german with servants and ENGLISH with his dogs and horses LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
España ha ganado más que Inglaterra ya que ustedes al siguiente año de haber ganado a la armada invencible perdieron igual y peor aún ya que pensaban que nos iban a ganar y esta perdida de Cartagena de Indias fue más humillante porque fueron 26.000 ingleses vs 3.000 españoles ¡que verguenza!, hahaha, You will never win because the loss the loss they had was very humiliating for you, i'm ecuadorian and i know you are jealous of us, stupid english!!!!
@Alexhispanoamericano Why would we be jelous of you ?? BRITAIN is and will always be powerful.. we ruled half of the world.. did yours ? NO ! Jelous ?? Its just the way it goes... : ) BEST country won : ) Que verguenza?? baah Venga ya hombre :) we are PROUD no embaressed unlike your country !
spanish and brits / frenchs and brits / france and spain vs brits / spain and brits vs frenchs fucking LIE !! x D 1000 YEARS KILLING US ! Stop please now all friends thanks God ! ah gibraltar spanish fucking rats!! . p
@LordGeorgeRodney but you can aso read about Nelson's defeat in Canary islands and Galicia... The Islanders use to forgget very soon this part of history as usuall.....in fact any of my angl-saxon friends knows it and also teh great defeat of Cartagena.....
The Jenking´s ear war was the greatest humilliatiion of english navy of all times and this little man count on it as a victory....hahaha...the biggest navy until Normandia (bigger even the invincible armada by far) defeated by 600men in cartagena.
For all european nations was a big laught. British even made some commemorative coins about the conquest of Cartagena ( didn´t happen) and the surrender of the great Blas de Lezo...hahaha...please don´t believe your fake-history and learn the facts.
So, you consider the capture of the Princesa as a British victory. I do not think history of RN needs to tell a pyrrhic 3-against-1-battle to be proud of it. By the way, the three british battleships were 70's as well, not much smaller.
Moreover, you forgot to comment the production of a conmemorative british victory showing Adml. Vernon forgiving the Lezo´s life in Cartagena.
By the way, as you nickname Lord Rodney, ¿would you also consider a victory the raid of Rodney over Dutch Antilles in 1782, killing civilians (children, women...), only comparable with the "fairless" 1945 Dresde Bombing (at least americans bombed with daylight)?
Alright buddy, this wil be my last comment, but it´s funny now you mind jews, reading some of your previous comments. In fact, when I visited UK for a couple of months, I was the only spaniard who did not have problems with local people. The thing is I have blond hair and pale skin, no questions.
I assume u don't speak my language so that I will use yours to ask u a simple question I am sure u will be polite enough to answer Hon. LordGeorgeRodney.
After so many brave deeds and bright victories... what is your country today? let me tell you Hon. LordGeorgeRodney, it is a country full of immigrants where your race is gradually been replaced by black, asian and muslim people, forget about the past and enjoy your future :P!
Alright, with respect and all I don't mean to be belligerant, but calling any Spanish defeats in this particular war 'humiliating' is complete irony considering the Battle of Cartegena de Indias. That practically defined 'humiliation.' I have taken the courtesy to watch the video through and I only see 'battles' of a ship or two captured here or there. The one battle of the war that actually mattered was Cartagena, which was a crushing victory against overwhelming odds. That can't be denied.
At Cartagena in 6 months the losses (90%) were to due disease & storms...
In 3 years I wonder how many Spanish died of disease trying to lay siege to Gibraltar 1779-83 ? It will never be known!besides this was a bigger event
@LordGeorgeRodney The best thing was your dearest king making conmemorative coins of Lord Vernon's "victory" against Blas de Lezo, and trying to destroy all of it after knowing that the biggest navy in all history (at this time) had been defeatesd by a very lesser garrison.
Ah, by the way, do you know how and against who lost Nelson his arm??
You usually win with a bigger force or with something at your favor. Do I must to remember you the attacks made by Sánchez de Tovar to England?? he destroyed all the south coast, and even came into the Thames and fired Gravesend. Your king could see this beautiful fire from his tower in London.
There are not excuses. English doesn't know to fight in equall conditions, at San Vicente a storm damaged our ships before the batlle, and in Trafalgar half ships were french, and the commander also. Even your generals admited the bravery of our people, you neede 4 ships per each of us to defeat us.
At Cartagena de Indias you were several times more than us and you showed unable to take the city, the same at Tenerife, or the attack to la Coruña, defeated by a woman.
@LordGeorgeRodney You are rounding again and again about Trafalgar and Gibraltar (you didn't fled because there were no place to go) because you have nothing more. Your soldiers were outragenous. Dutch, english and German fled away when hear (not even see) the spanish soldiers. When vikings make glasses with your heads we expeled every and single normand invasion. In Theyherden battle 7 soldiers made a batallion of english fled (again). The part of you that we know better is your back.
@LordGeorgeRodney lmao that explains alot :) btw your vids are awesome :) i love all the hate you get from french and spanish patriots who dont know their own history as well as you do :P

@OurOxygen then you have not done your research, it all comes down to the fact that the people did not want the king killed, but parliament did it anyway and then o.c took charge in a dictatorship that was basically being a king in all but name, however not alot of people liked the puritan way of life, infact most people hated it and welcomed king charles II back with open arms, try reading some books mate, like the brigadier peter young's the english civil wars just a suggestion

@OW41N You Brits should of killed the royal family and became a republic.Not wanting the king dead?Wow.Just how mindless and brainwashed could of your countrymen truly of been?Yea ok maybe no one liked the puritan way of life but why not just do away with it instead of bringing the crown back?I just do not get that logic of having a royal family over you,as if they were truly better than any other Brit walking around.

@OurOxygen we didnt want to simple as, our monarchy has never done anything stupid to be honest, and we are happy with it, why should we change because a texan tells us to? and ofcourse you cant contemplate it, its because you are a republican at heart, thats why your family fucked off to the states from wherever they came :P couldnt make it over here in europe, but you dont hear me telling you what you should do with your country do you? because its none of my business and it works both ways

The most significan battle in the Jenkins ear war was the battle for Cartagena de Indias in Nueva granada (Colombia). 186 british ships (bigger navy than the Armada Invencible) and 72000 british troops were killed against 3000 Spanish soldiers and 6 ships. That victory means that South America will be Spanish for another 100 years

72,000!?
ROOFFFLL!!
1,200 were casualties in battle the rest were to disease
But nothing beats the huge casualty disaster as that of the Spanish armada over 20,000!!
LordGeorgeRodney 1 year ago
@LordGeorgeRodney I can say that Spanish armada casualties die in the ships. Bad weather conditions. Not British weapons!!. Despite of that, the british ships sunked in Colombia were 186, 66 more than the Spanish Armada. As you can see, killing only 1200 british, the rest of the coward troops return to die in the ships, so you have 1200 soldiers and 70800 cowards. Nice armada...
joseinasio 1 year ago

@LordGeorgeRodney Thank the wonderful storms. What an interesting example of English power. Of course right after that the English depleted their treasury in order to launch their own armada at a weakened Spain. It was a financial and military disaster that embarrassed the English for years. Spain quickly went on to build an even bigger fleet than before and resume control of her lanes.
Not something the English like to remember as they hate to be reminded of their beatings.

LordGeorgeRodney 1 year ago
@LordGeorgeRodney England was not prepared to resist such an invasion. Had nature not saved your butts and the troops landed, you' d be speaking Spanish right now. Spain however was never in that kind of danger.
Cadiz was a combined Anglo-Dutch victory. It did a lot of damage, but didn't complete most of it's objectives. There isn't much to brag about. The Anglo-Spanish war was a war of attrition and had to end in a treaty because both countries were bankrupting themselves.

@jollyradical In the same way certain parts of "Spain" are a constant reminder to them of their defeat just like the French and Russians at the hands of Britain through history? The same could be applied by all countries, The different is unlike Spain, France, And many others in Britain we learned from our mistakes and did better for it, Something other European Empires -failed- to do as we can see from history

LordGeorgeRodney 1 year ago
The Battle of Cartagena de Indias was a massive amphibious military engagement, then called a 'descent', between the forces of Britain under Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon and Spain under Admiral Blas de Lezo. It took place at the city of Cartagena de Indias, population 10,000, in March 1741, in present-day Colombia. It was the most significant battle in the War of Jenkins' Ear and one of the largest naval campaigns in British history, though it is now largely forgotten.

So, you consider the capture of the Princesa as a British victory. I do not think history of RN needs to tell a pyrrhic 3-against-1-battle to be proud of it. By the way, the three british battleships were 70's as well, not much smaller.
Moreover, you forgot to comment the production of a conmemorative british victory showing Adml. Vernon forgiving the Lezo´s life in Cartagena.

@cdelosri9 I have always loved Jews I'm not racist.
But remember this in 1200 AD 5 million out of 7 million inhabitants in Spain were muslim..
So blonde hair and blue eyes became black hair and dark skin..
Be thankful you are that minority.

I assume u don't speak my language so that I will use yours to ask u a simple question I am sure u will be polite enough to answer Hon. LordGeorgeRodney.
After so many brave deeds and bright victories... what is your country today? let me tell you Hon. LordGeorgeRodney, it is a country full of immigrants where your race is gradually been replaced by black, asian and muslim people, forget about the past and enjoy your future :P!
Regards from sunny Spain :D

Alright, with respect and all I don't mean to be belligerant, but calling any Spanish defeats in this particular war 'humiliating' is complete irony considering the Battle of Cartegena de Indias. That practically defined 'humiliation.' I have taken the courtesy to watch the video through and I only see 'battles' of a ship or two captured here or there. The one battle of the war that actually mattered was Cartagena, which was a crushing victory against overwhelming odds. That can't be denied.

@RodrigoDiezBivar
so we won in Georgia we got one back...
Spanish were booted out...
Just as significant..
At Cartagena in 6 months the losses (90%) were to due disease & storms...
In 3 years I wonder how many Spanish died of disease trying to lay siege to Gibraltar 1779-83 ? It will never be known!besides this was a bigger event

@LordGeorgeRodney The best thing was your dearest king making conmemorative coins of Lord Vernon's "victory" against Blas de Lezo, and trying to destroy all of it after knowing that the biggest navy in all history (at this time) had been defeatesd by a very lesser garrison.
Ah, by the way, do you know how and against who lost Nelson his arm??

@LordNeo27
LOL!
Sorry the Spanish attempt to seize Gibraltar in September 1782 was far far bigger!
Nelson lost his arm in Tenerife with a tiny force
Of course Blake at Santa Cruz sank an entire squadron

@LordGeorgeRodney
1.- Blake: 33 ships; Esgués and Dávila: 16 ships --> RATIO: 1/2
2.- (at Tenerife) Nelson: 4.000 Marine infantry; Gutierrez: 200 soldiers and 1.500 militia ---> RATIO: 1/2,5
You usually win with a bigger force or with something at your favor. Do I must to remember you the attacks made by Sánchez de Tovar to England?? he destroyed all the south coast, and even came into the Thames and fired Gravesend. Your king could see this beautiful fire from his tower in London.

@LordNeo27 LOOOLL!
Stop making excuses.
How about Cape St Vincent 1797
24 Spanish ships v 15 British?
Or Trafalgar 41 ships v 33 British
LordGeorgeRodney 1 year ago
@LordGeorgeRodney
There are not excuses. English doesn't know to fight in equall conditions, at San Vicente a storm damaged our ships before the batlle, and in Trafalgar half ships were french, and the commander also. Even your generals admited the bravery of our people, you neede 4 ships per each of us to defeat us.
At Cartagena de Indias you were several times more than us and you showed unable to take the city, the same at Tenerife, or the attack to la Coruña, defeated by a woman.

@LordNeo27
Trafalgar Spanish were bitches of the French
another excuse..
''storm damaged our ships before the batlle''
an excuse..
So in 1597 we stormed Cadiz on your own soil
At Gibraltar 1782 70,000 Spanish v 7,000 English
Beat that!

@LordGeorgeRodney You are rounding again and again about Trafalgar and Gibraltar (you didn't fled because there were no place to go) because you have nothing more. Your soldiers were outragenous. Dutch, english and German fled away when hear (not even see) the spanish soldiers. When vikings make glasses with your heads we expeled every and single normand invasion. In Theyherden battle 7 soldiers made a batallion of english fled (again). The part of you that we know better is your back.

Moors made Spanish have 'nigger' genes
They did far too much f****ng
LordGeorgeRodney 1 year ago
@LordGeorgeRodney I pity your inculture. We resettle moor cities as long as we conquered them, and we expeled moorish remanents twice, later.
The problem is that Spain was the only country that reconquered himself before conquer an empire.
And, by the way, while you were fighting the scottish Spain stopped the islamic invasion of Europe, three times.
But how will you know it?? At long last you are descendant of vikings and french...

@LordNeo27
WTF?!
The Moors were conatined in Spain thanks to Charles Martel!
Check battle of Poitiers or Le Tours
LOOOLLLL!!
That is the real history!
Spanish schools are telling fibbies!
Spain were conquered & only prolonged Islamic stay in Europe!
The other heroes are Austrians defeating the islams twice in Vienna ...LOL! No Spanish there!

@LordGeorgeRodney
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Are you trying to give me lessons of history?? You, the one who steals battles and doesn't know wich ones had won or not???
Poitiers (or Tours) was just a sacking expedition, the real problem was the rebelion at Asturias.
Ah!! When Turkish attacked Vienna the emperor was Charles I of Spain, so there were several tercios in there and in the rescue expedition.
So we defeated them in: Lepanto, Navas de Tolosa, Malta... What did you do?? Cry about it??

Thus beginning a friendship that has lasted ever since!
