British Legions woop Spanish ass in Hispanic Independence wars

All vets for saving Spain's hairy ass in Peninsula War thinking they would win another Bailen!

Your welcome!!

HA HA HA!!

[brianferraz]

@TheBritishLegions You ingnorante of life. Spain was able to declare war on France, the Netherlands, England, Germany, Spanish succession war, domestic problems, Naples and Sicily, and the vast new world to defend the territory. You believe that if Spain had concentrated its power only against England (armed Thirds Road) would have some remote possibility? walking and rolling stone. Self-conscious history. The greatest empire ever seen on the face of the earth.

[TheBritishLegions]

@brianferraz wrong

the British empire was the greatest in terms of land and people held

So your WRONG!

[brianferraz]

This is the biggest defeat the English Sheep Shaggers suffered since the French Normans conquered them. Of course they have tried to completly hide and re-write it from history.

The biggest English amphibious invassion up to the Battle of Normandy of 1944, of 186 ships, 26,400 men and 3000 artillery pieces.

Despite the Spanish being massively outnumbered (only 6 ships) they utterly defeated the English cowards.

English cowardice knows no bounds

@brianferraz

Most died of disease only 1,000 were battle casulaties

Unlike Gibraltar 1779-83 Spanish lost 5,000 to battle casualties and another 1,000 captured along with one ship of the line captured and another 9 sunk!!

Brits lost less than 1,000

Spanish humiliation knows no bounds!!

[brianferraz]

thanks to the Netherlands and the sinking of the Armada of Philip II because otherwise would not exist today

[TheBritishLegions]

@brianferraz Spanish excuses for a defeat

Now that is funny

20,000 DEAD ON OUR SHORES!!

Its a shame we do not have a bank holiday celebrating the most complete sea battle ever fought.

By winning it ensured the world saw an empire the like of which had never been seen or probably ever will be seen again. The Spanish fought very well that day as did the French whose casualty rate was incredibly high but it was a very British victory! Nelson at the moment of his greatest victory died to immortalise himself to the british public. The fireworks were fantastivc as was the day in Pompey
