I only wish they'd use proper regimental style colors instead of merely the national flags, but I guess they did so for ID purposes. Maybe they could have used both, that would have been cool (French Regt. colors have blue and red in corners, with blue and red corners facing simkilar blue/red corners and the name of unit in the white center.
what is so great about napoleonic war costumes?? the old guard is the most beautiful costume,appealing i can say..........other than that they kind to look very typicalllllll.........no real thrill about it ..i really liked the 17th century ottoman costume,so much varieties,colors and shapes! :))))
But they didnt set up a colony that later became a fully fledged country and world superpower. Therefore the credit for modern day America falls to Britain, and Queen Elizabeth 1st's colonies who would later become modern day Americans. Regardless of who got there first...

@HUNTEDWAFFLE even the "native" americans werent the first here. most "native" americans came here a mere 10000 years ago. the TRUE native americans were the clovis culture and they came from southern france 40000 years ago
@markbotv3 I've actually heard that Gauls and Celts were the first in America and that a viking (I forget his name) who dicovered America claimed to have used Starcharts and maps from the Celts.
The Celts got star charts and learned to make them from Greeks and Phoenicians that visited the area.
However I do not believe that this happened before the native americans. I do know that the modern inuits and Pacific coast peoples came from siberia and Mongolia on ice canoes.
@HUNTEDWAFFLE By the same token us Brits were and still are a mixture of French and Germans. Remember 1066 and all that? The Normans had settled in Normandy, now France and the Saxon came from present day Germany and elsewhere. Lief Ericson is the guy your thinking of Markbotv.

Any soldier can be trained to use an automatic and still be accurate, yet Us army is forced into using bursts to avoid yankee fire everything behaviour.
@PeaceNirvana1912 the winners get to write history.It is distorted but the british army and navy were damned good at this time.
Theyve always gone for proffessionalism and a small army since the uk is an island and anyone would have a right game trying to invade. its a logistical nightmare.Napoleon failed and hitler did too.
Funny how Britain is never the bad guy in history, they are always fighting for justice or divine right. The Opium War was bad perhaps, but thats it. France and Spain are almost always evil.
@victinhoemn yeah i mean any country who invades all of europe is just curious and thosewhose oppose them including britain is obviously selfish and bad for not letting the invading nation have their land.
@corporateCoffee Hmm let me think. The War of Spanish Succession was a big one, Louis XIV was just being a big prick trying to conquer more and more. Then he effectively tried to own Spain and consequently Europe with a James Bond style plot to set up a puppet king in Spain.
Also the American Revolutionary War was another war were they were totally unjust.
@MajBlood I sincerely hope that you're being facetious. I've heard of many evil wars, but it takes a certain special someone to believe that there are such things as good wars, and that a single nation has a monopoly on them.
@jodimest Well World War 2 was a justified war by the all the allies. No one can deny it. WW2 is the one truly good war. Just about every other war British partook in, they acted not as an agresser but a defender of democratic rights. Some other justified wars were the Napoleonic Wars, Seven Years War, and American Revolutionary War.
@MajBlood Ah, but even now you run into one of the stumbling blocks about all war- war is always 'justified', but it's never good. Every power and every individual swept up in a war has always produced a justification for it, but in the end people who have no need to die end up dying in heaps, and that in itself is difficult to justify. WWII is often touted as the 'good war', but even freedom loving powers bombed civilians into oblivion by the thousands. Just? Maybe, but still inherently evil.
@jodimest You are right that even in WW2 there were unjust killings and warcrimes. And of course the actual act of killing other humans and fighting is never good. But what is the alternative? We fight and lose lives but in the end we earn freedoms and less death overall.
@MajBlood War is too often unavoidable because human beings are drawn to it like moths to flame. Regardless, the point of all this is that whenever a war seems too just, or a nation's martial prowess too shiny one should ask serious questions about why that is. In the case of Great Britain, its martial history is woven with both glories and disasters, honor and dishonor, but the central policy for a long time has been to glorify the successful and ignore the shameful.
@jodimest So you are basically saying history is written by the victors and that it is polished up in a deceitful fashion? Yes you are right. Are you a history professor?
@jodimest Just making sure. I enjoy history but sometimes I hate professors or academic writers, because they can't just tell a story, they need to stop every 5 seconds to explain how Colonial Joe from Virginia reflected the economy and culture of the time when he coughed without covering his mouth.
@nukeboy1994 English, actually. The Welsh and the Scots are not in the drivers seat, they are also in minority, the English uses their natural resources and man-power as cannon fodder, which they have done throughout history. Are you based in England, Scotland or Wales? are you English, Scottish or Welsh? The Scottish and the Welsh had no interest in building an empire, in truth - they had no say and were along for the ride.
@europachef British tactics were mostly defensive to ensure the minimal loss of troops, the English, Scottish and Welsh count all men as humans and not resources. Only the Americans use their men as cannon fodder
@fdmarminy The colonials are not famous for using their men as cannon fodder, they are notorious for hiding behind massive fire power never wanting to close with the enemy, the English way is to close with the enemy and having tea break with bullets flying past. Americans, lol, what do they know about warfare that actually involves combat in any honourably fashion? nothing! if the yanks find a sniper they level the entire town, if the English find one they kill the sniper whilst spare the town.
@europachef you obviously know nothing about americans and how our military opperates i am a us marine just back from afghanistan and my unit and the otheir units in the city with us have found and killed alot of taliban fighters while the british forces in the next AO did nothing we had to do patroles in there AO because they refused to go certain places so yeah fuck you. by the time you read this i will be back in afghanistan fight for the country i love with honor.
unfortunately your tactics are simply fire a gun first and ask questions later which is what takes your losses in this war to 3000 compared to our 300.
to us men are human beings and not resources which you yanks seem to have a tough time dealing with. being a marine in the US is basically a footsoldier in the British army as you need to be perfect for a fighter. the selection process for our army is too extensive as we want to ensure our reputation as the best force on the front lines
@fdmarminy some of my budies died over there because your perfect fucking troops wanted to be pussys and no we dont shoot first ask later but we should more of my marines would be alive if it was that way but we always get the job done no matter what because it our job
@bhsrcka Actually FDMarminy is pretty much spot on there. For once thing your special forces 'Green berets' are just men who managed to complete Royal marine commando training. So your Specials are equvelant to our Marines if that. US Army jokes are so popular in UK cos its so common we hear around the world US Troops killing allies and civilians cos of the poor training and attitudes. why you think your assaults rifles have got 3 round bursts instead of being automatic.
@RetardedPickle The first Canadian troops deployed to Afghanistan were killed by americans in a "friendly fire" incident. So yea i agree they do happen to kill there allies alot.

@jimmy08LTFC I know there was fighting in egypt with the ottomens but there was fighting in australasia, the far east, and south america? tell me more
I never refered D.Pedro I father. Also if what you told me is true then you must refer it on the descripition, or other wise plp will tink that Portugal losed control of Brazil.
"and the independence of Brazil from Portugal." WRONG!!! lool The Portuguese royal famaly ran to Brazil to avoid death. Only years after the napolic war is when Brazil would become a independt nation. Brazil Independence was after the civil war of liberals vs monarquists. After the war The Emperor of Brazil and King of Portugal (same person) declared Brazil an independ nation and give the trone of Portugal to other member of the famaly.
@Pertinaziuos Yes, it was after liberal Revolution in Portugal (1820) but before the Civil war between royalists and liberals(1832-1834) wich stablished the Constitutional Monarchy in Portugal.
D. Pedro when came to Portugal to fight in the civil war by his daughter D. Maria II and on the side of liberals, had abdicated already of the Imperial Crown in Brazil in favor of his son Pedro II, and after having won the civil war in Portugal, abdicated the crown in favor of his daughter.
Only a correction to some past comments: Portugal had not relations with Britain from a1640 to 1661. The Restauraed House of Avis Bragança hat links and had "supported" Charles I in 1640-45 English civil war. For that Cromwel only
restablished some comercial relations in 1654. But only in 1661the old Anglo-portuguese Alliance was retablished with English Crown Restoration - and his marriage with Queen Catarina of Bragança.
But Portugal would end the Restoration war(1640-1668) still alone as in the beginning. The difference was that after 1661 receave more English-welsh, irish,scotish,english (british) french and German Soldiers(and economic support) in change of Tanger and Bombay.
The Spanish Tercios were at the time also very internation in its ranks(and fought many wars)
Those men integrated the Portuguese army(Portuguese were of course the majorty of the army) in battles as Montes Claros(1665).
One more time, anglosaxon games kicking us in our own history.Putting Portugal as a common pawn.When was your ally to harass Spain,with a large peninsular army .It's true that Spain lost the little army which was at Trafalgar,but the guerrillas were crucial to break the French rearguard.The British just walked through Spain,the Portuguese was used like human shields.SHAMEFUL!!!
The real effectiveness of the Anglo-Portuguese allies,materialized when Spain lost the control of Portuguese kingdoms in the mid-XVIIth century.England needed that block in the Iberian peninsula.The Bourbons later, ceded Gibraltar and Menorca in exchange for withdrawing support from the Austrian royalty.(That is the truth) the guerrillas cowards? We have seen in Vietnam and today in Iraq and Afghanistan,that's a really nonsense.
when spain lost control of the portuguese kingdoms? the treaty of windsor ( anglo-portuguese alliance) dated way before the iberian union of philippe II of spain. spain never actually managed to invade or conquer portugal,philippe II spain was the sole heir to the throne to his grandfather Manuel I of Portugal, this is why he was named king fo portugal after his grandfather died. and besides, portugal was at some point part of galiza and leon, never part of spain per-se.
also, portugal and england were also major commercial partners.
This is why Napoleon wanted portugal to participate in the embargo against england , and portugal refused ( napoleon also wanted portugal to cede some of its territory to him, wich of course portugal refuse). Spain was allied with the french in the beginning ,helping the french invade portugal. when the french betrayed them and sieged madrid, they decided to join the british.
You're half right,Portuguese empire wasn't annexed by Spain.But in the XVIth century Spain wasn't a single kingdom.We had different kingdoms in the peninsula and Indias.Shared only King,and he had all the economic, military and foreign policy.We was the empire more powerful in the world, and much more after the acquisition of Portugal.Only after the pathetic reign of Philip IV, Portugal had your Independence.And UK enter in action,it was the more hostile power for Spaniard kingdoms.
different kingdom in indias? dunno what youre talking about here. anyway, spain never acquire portugal, the iberian union was the union of the two crowns , but still being ruled separetely. Like i said, the anglo-portuguse alliance is very old, in fact the kingdom of portugal itself is older than spain ( as a whole, unified as we know today). Portugal was born in the north , within the kingdom of galiza.
The point of disagreement is that you put the soldiers of Wellington as liberators peninsula. Not, so yourself have admitted that the reason for the Peninsular War was the possible trade embargo. Wellington, used the guerrillas like beaters in the heart and French rearguard. UK use the portuguese always wore at the forefront of attacks and light troops, the tiny British losses confirm my theory.
well, you said it , its your theory. but its normal that portuguese and spanish casualties were greater than the british's. the war was in iberia afterall, the british were supporting and helping out. The british have for the most part respected their part of their treaty with portugal ( and vice-versa). even in during World War II, even if portugal was neutral, they still had to lend some bases in the azores to the british in virtue of the windsor treaty.
and about the iberian union, that union was not totally beneficial to spain in the end since the unification of the two crowns allowed portugal to violate the tordesillas treaty wich led to the madrid treaty. portugal and brazilians settlers expanded beyond their limits forming what is Brazil today.
@HIGH777ROLLER Well, the Iberian Union was not beneficial to Portugal either. I guess that overall, the Iberian Union was far worse for the Portuguese than for the Spanish. Remember that it was because of the Iberian Union that Portugal lost more than half of its empire. With such a union, Portugal would have been in a far better shape in the coming years. Unfortunately we can never go back. It's history.
mostly because of the dutch invasion of portuguese colonies in asia. and besides, by the time the peninsular wars occured, spain also had lost its place as a world power along with its vast empire and its influence.
Although the war was in Iberia,this isn't excuse to use your Portuguese allies as targets.I don't care that the British tried to my countrymen as slaves,even today I can see tourists in my city (Barcelona) treat waiters,shopkeepers and even ordinary people as rabble must obey them by leaving their money here. And I assure you it's not a theory.My country is retrate,I know,but if them continues to treat with contempt, will see a May 2th,1808 again.
they didnt use their portuguese allies as target. this is ridiculous. i never heard such a thing. at least the brits were loyal allies, unlike the french who betrayed the spaniards.
I think you can't mix concepts,the Spaniards have never been friends or allies of the French.Another thing is that politicians or the Bourbons (French dynasty implanted by force) are allied with France.Also insist, that there was divergence between monarchies agreed about the Anglo-Portuguese and popular sentiment among these people.The contempt of both, english and french to the hispanic people is irrefutable,another thing is that Wellington was more pragmatic and Napoleon arrogant.
even during the iberian union, portugal's posessions in america (BRAZIL), africa (cabo-verde,mozambique,angola,guinea bissau,sao tomé e principe...) and asia (macau, goa, timor...) were still under portuguese control. the problem is that since portugal was linked to spain, the dutch began attacking portuguese colonies ( where they mostly succeded in asia, southern asia, but mostly failed in brazil and africa). the iberian union ended with the House of Bragança taking back the portuguese crown.
@Roachsoap They don't include Portugal in EMPIRE TW even though Portugal started colonial EMPIREs and the Age of Discovery. They don't make them a major faction in medieval claiming they didn't emerge in the time period .. but yet Spain was a major faction (came to be in the 1500s). In the Peninsular War there were only four countries .. how lazy are they? Coimbra and Porto were part of Portugal at this time in history. Silly really. If Spain (they were conquered) is in it so should Portugal.

@corporateCoffee Hmm let me think. The War of Spanish Succession was a big one, Louis XIV was just being a big prick trying to conquer more and more. Then he effectively tried to own Spain and consequently Europe with a James Bond style plot to set up a puppet king in Spain.
Also the American Revolutionary War was another war were they were totally unjust.

@MajBlood I sincerely hope that you're being facetious. I've heard of many evil wars, but it takes a certain special someone to believe that there are such things as good wars, and that a single nation has a monopoly on them.
jodimest 1 year ago
@jodimest Well World War 2 was a justified war by the all the allies. No one can deny it. WW2 is the one truly good war. Just about every other war British partook in, they acted not as an agresser but a defender of democratic rights. Some other justified wars were the Napoleonic Wars, Seven Years War, and American Revolutionary War.
MajBlood 1 year ago
@MajBlood Ah, but even now you run into one of the stumbling blocks about all war- war is always 'justified', but it's never good. Every power and every individual swept up in a war has always produced a justification for it, but in the end people who have no need to die end up dying in heaps, and that in itself is difficult to justify. WWII is often touted as the 'good war', but even freedom loving powers bombed civilians into oblivion by the thousands. Just? Maybe, but still inherently evil.
jodimest 1 year ago
@jodimest You are right that even in WW2 there were unjust killings and warcrimes. And of course the actual act of killing other humans and fighting is never good. But what is the alternative? We fight and lose lives but in the end we earn freedoms and less death overall.
MajBlood 1 year ago
@MajBlood War is too often unavoidable because human beings are drawn to it like moths to flame. Regardless, the point of all this is that whenever a war seems too just, or a nation's martial prowess too shiny one should ask serious questions about why that is. In the case of Great Britain, its martial history is woven with both glories and disasters, honor and dishonor, but the central policy for a long time has been to glorify the successful and ignore the shameful.

unfortunately your tactics are simply fire a gun first and ask questions later which is what takes your losses in this war to 3000 compared to our 300.
to us men are human beings and not resources which you yanks seem to have a tough time dealing with. being a marine in the US is basically a footsoldier in the British army as you need to be perfect for a fighter. the selection process for our army is too extensive as we want to ensure our reputation as the best force on the front lines

Only years after the napolic war is when Brazil would become a independt nation. Brazil Independence was after the civil war of liberals vs monarquists. After the war The Emperor of Brazil and King of Portugal (same person) declared Brazil an independ nation and give the trone of Portugal to other member of the famaly.
Pertinaziuos 1 year ago
@Pertinaziuos Yes, it was after liberal Revolution in Portugal (1820) but before the Civil war between royalists and liberals(1832-1834) wich stablished the Constitutional Monarchy in Portugal.
D. Pedro when came to Portugal to fight in the civil war by his daughter D. Maria II and on the side of liberals, had abdicated already of the Imperial Crown in Brazil in favor of his son Pedro II, and after having won the civil war in Portugal, abdicated the crown in favor of his daughter.

Only a correction to some past comments: Portugal had not relations with Britain from a1640 to 1661. The Restauraed House of Avis Bragança hat links and had "supported" Charles I in 1640-45 English civil war. For that Cromwel only
restablished some comercial relations in 1654. But only in 1661the old Anglo-portuguese Alliance was retablished with English Crown Restoration - and his marriage with Queen Catarina of Bragança.
LusofoniaAsiaOceania 1 year ago
But Portugal would end the Restoration war(1640-1668) still alone as in the beginning. The difference was that after 1661 receave more English-welsh, irish,scotish,english (british) french and German Soldiers(and economic support) in change of Tanger and Bombay.
The Spanish Tercios were at the time also very internation in its ranks(and fought many wars)
Those men integrated the Portuguese army(Portuguese were of course the majorty of the army) in battles as Montes Claros(1665).

The real effectiveness of the Anglo-Portuguese allies,materialized when Spain lost the control of Portuguese kingdoms in the mid-XVIIth century.England needed that block in the Iberian peninsula.The Bourbons later, ceded Gibraltar and Menorca in exchange for withdrawing support from the Austrian royalty.(That is the truth) the guerrillas cowards? We have seen in Vietnam and today in Iraq and Afghanistan,that's a really nonsense.

when spain lost control of the portuguese kingdoms? the treaty of windsor ( anglo-portuguese alliance) dated way before the iberian union of philippe II of spain. spain never actually managed to invade or conquer portugal,philippe II spain was the sole heir to the throne to his grandfather Manuel I of Portugal, this is why he was named king fo portugal after his grandfather died. and besides, portugal was at some point part of galiza and leon, never part of spain per-se.

also, portugal and england were also major commercial partners.
This is why Napoleon wanted portugal to participate in the embargo against england , and portugal refused ( napoleon also wanted portugal to cede some of its territory to him, wich of course portugal refuse). Spain was allied with the french in the beginning ,helping the french invade portugal. when the french betrayed them and sieged madrid, they decided to join the british.

You're half right,Portuguese empire wasn't annexed by Spain.But in the XVIth century Spain wasn't a single kingdom.We had different kingdoms in the peninsula and Indias.Shared only King,and he had all the economic, military and foreign policy.We was the empire more powerful in the world, and much more after the acquisition of Portugal.Only after the pathetic reign of Philip IV, Portugal had your Independence.And UK enter in action,it was the more hostile power for Spaniard kingdoms.

different kingdom in indias? dunno what youre talking about here. anyway, spain never acquire portugal, the iberian union was the union of the two crowns , but still being ruled separetely. Like i said, the anglo-portuguse alliance is very old, in fact the kingdom of portugal itself is older than spain ( as a whole, unified as we know today). Portugal was born in the north , within the kingdom of galiza.

The point of disagreement is that you put the soldiers of Wellington as liberators peninsula. Not, so yourself have admitted that the reason for the Peninsular War was the possible trade embargo. Wellington, used the guerrillas like beaters in the heart and French rearguard. UK use the portuguese always wore at the forefront of attacks and light troops, the tiny British losses confirm my theory.
ELmalodelapenicula 1 year ago
@ELmalodelapenicula
well, you said it , its your theory. but its normal that portuguese and spanish casualties were greater than the british's. the war was in iberia afterall, the british were supporting and helping out. The british have for the most part respected their part of their treaty with portugal ( and vice-versa). even in during World War II, even if portugal was neutral, they still had to lend some bases in the azores to the british in virtue of the windsor treaty.
HIGH777ROLLER 1 year ago
and about the iberian union, that union was not totally beneficial to spain in the end since the unification of the two crowns allowed portugal to violate the tordesillas treaty wich led to the madrid treaty. portugal and brazilians settlers expanded beyond their limits forming what is Brazil today.
HIGH777ROLLER 1 year ago
@HIGH777ROLLER Well, the Iberian Union was not beneficial to Portugal either. I guess that overall, the Iberian Union was far worse for the Portuguese than for the Spanish. Remember that it was because of the Iberian Union that Portugal lost more than half of its empire. With such a union, Portugal would have been in a far better shape in the coming years. Unfortunately we can never go back. It's history.

I think you can't mix concepts,the Spaniards have never been friends or allies of the French.Another thing is that politicians or the Bourbons (French dynasty implanted by force) are allied with France.Also insist, that there was divergence between monarchies agreed about the Anglo-Portuguese and popular sentiment among these people.The contempt of both, english and french to the hispanic people is irrefutable,another thing is that Wellington was more pragmatic and Napoleon arrogant.
ELmalodelapenicula 1 year ago
even during the iberian union, portugal's posessions in america (BRAZIL), africa (cabo-verde,mozambique,angola,guinea bissau,sao tomé e principe...) and asia (macau, goa, timor...) were still under portuguese control. the problem is that since portugal was linked to spain, the dutch began attacking portuguese colonies ( where they mostly succeded in asia, southern asia, but mostly failed in brazil and africa). the iberian union ended with the House of Bragança taking back the portuguese crown.
