Yo a este señor lo pongo en el escritorio, este mundo es una verguenza que solo realza los intereses de las naciones. Una sola estatua no es suficiente, ni una sola pelicula es indignante, para mi este hombre supera al Cid. Alavamos a un mercenario que se corono el mismo rey en Valencia (El Cid) y olvidamos a un militar brillante de la talla de Publio Emiliano Escipión.
Blas de Lezo, uno de los mayores genios militares de la historia, no tiene ni siquiera una puñetera calle en Madrid. Es así de triste y lamentable. Ocultamos a nuestros propios héroes, mientras que otras naciones los ensalzan. Si hubiera sido la historia de Cartagena de Indias al revés, Inglaterra estaría llena de estatuas dedicadas a Vernon. Y aquí, con suerte veremos una calle dedicada a Belén Esteban antes que al gran Blas de Lezo.
Acabo de ver, con gran satisfacción por mi parte, que sí, que tiene una avenida en Madrid, en uno de los nuevos desarrollos del Este. Ya era hora, joder.
quiero una pelicula de la batalla de cartagena! a ver si se lo curra alguna productora española que aparte de negocio el cine tambien sirve para dar una imagen al mundo y la imagen de la gran mayoria de las películas belicas son desde un punto de vista yanki
es hora de que el mundo conozca las gestas del imperio español y las mentiras de los ingleses que heredarian muy bien los americanos y otra de la verdad del hundimiento del maine
@EuropaNacion88: Supongo que quieres decir que el franquismo es más reciente, porque "actual" no puede serlo algo que murió con su fundador. El Carlismo, en cambio, al ser monárquico, siempre puede proponer a un príncipe, y se basa en principios que trascienden a sus propios reyes: Dios, Patria, Rey, los principios de España desde Recaredo a los últimos reyes cristianos. Es una doctrina vieja pero siempre nueva. Un saludo,
Menudo tio Don Blas de Lezo. Luego hacen pelicualas estupidas y no de esto. No veo muchas estatuas de Don Blas de Lezo en España! : No tenemos memoria? en otros paises se acuerdan de su historia..y aqui con todos lo héroes que tenemos.

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.
@dovtponevv, I can easily assure you that the English are no cowards, they always fight bravely. They too do have some very humiliating disasters. The spanish lost the battle of gravelines, and that was the largest fleet they ever built.
@goodrowj Roma also won BRITAIN. we are talking about Spain as a kingdom. and the kingdom of Spain was never conquered. Napoleon never conquered Spain. in fact, the first defeat of the Spanish troops was the hand of the Spanish, which made him say, if I was Spanish army, had won the war. Guerrilla warfare was invented at the time, certainly by the Spanish.
@goodrowj sorry for my English, is "English to google" so that I will soon .. indeed many of the victories scored against England Spain were no post and changed for the benefit of English. Including the defeat of the "armada", which was sunk by the storm and not by your troops. Blas de Lezo, The War of the ear .. the countless battles that England had with Spain throughout history .. (in the New World for example) are over but the story is there. greetings:)
@expertstrategy WHAT? SPAIN WIN THE BATTLE!!!. The Battle of Gravelines was fought on July 13, 1558 at Gravelines, near Calais, France. It occurred during the 1547–1559 war between France and Spain.
The battle resulted in a victory by the Spanish forces, led by Lamoral, Count of Egmont over the French under Marshal Paul de Thermes. The Spanish were supported by the English Navy, who opened fire on the French as they reached the sand dunes at Gravelines. /wiki/Battle_of_Gravelines_%281558%29
@expertstrategy Always for bad weather in 1588 and 1805, no for brave British. Very lucky UK gives thanks God to be a island in North Sea. Spain only lost a few ships In the battles, the rest back to Spain. In 1588 5.000 Spaniards arrive to irland coast and attack UK. Nobody know if Spaniards were winning the battle until the bad weather came. The true is that Spanish Empire came to the end for another cause, yellow fever, crisis, many fronts of battle open, bad weather and Napoleon was the end.
you do know the story of British Marines drowinig in a ship when they were told to parade on deck
the ship was sinking and what the British marines do?
Stand on deck unitl their told to move so they drowned but died having obeyed orders the German kaiser himself kept a picture of the regiment wishing his german navy did this
english army won against spanish armada (that was called "invincible" by brits no bey spanish) in 1588, i know, im not trying to hide that. BUT there are some facts to talk about:
1. spain tried to conquer a country
2.Brits had 190 warships and Spain had 130 warships/galleons
3.i dont refuse the brits strategy,but bad weather help them to defend
1. brits tried to conquer a little island not a country
2 brits had 186 warships and 26.000 soldiers against 6 warships and 3000 soldiers
3. the main power of spain was a good strategy not a huge army or a bad weather to help
so, i admit englad power in sea, but not in Ground warfare against spain, we had the best soldiers, old rome knew that, even more there are some english proberb
English liars and swindlers ... the English fleet command to cartagena England had more than 60 ships, the Armada, defeat both fucked him their king who forbade talk about it, even minted coins to celebrate lol
The english got absolutely smashed in this war, it was englands grand attempt to wrstle the americas from spain to claim it for themselves, yet in anglo history you never hear of it. The english even minted coins proclaiming victory whenthey actually got wasted. This was a more resounding victory than the one the english claimed over the armada of 1588 which was predominantly affected by the winds & seas.
By honest count we lost 18,000 men dead, and according to a Spanish soldier we captured, they lost at most 200. Admiral One Leg with his excellet leadership and fire killed 9,000 of our men, General Fever killed a like number. When I last saw the harbor of Cartagena, its surface was gray with the rotting bodies of our men, who died so rapidly that we could not bury them.[25]
@cris555000 i'll tell you why... because for more than 200 hundred years Spain fought against France, United Kingdom, The Otoman Empire, Holland at the same time and alone without a rest... that's why
@cris555000 this happenend because all the spanish governors were as stupid as now... they drove us to ruin and the spanish people was unable to do nothing... this is the misfortune of spain, very good people but the worst governors in the world....
si es correcto la batalla de blas de lezo fue una de las mayores victorias del imperio español, podemos decir orgullosos que fuimos el único imperio capaz de hacer sombra a los ingleses
@DogManakaElCid Completamente de acuerdo, teníamos toda hispanoamérica y convivíamos con su población nativa sin necesidad de exterminarlos, como hacían los anglosajones. Pese a que la historia esté siendo manipulada por Chávez y Morales entre otros ignorantes.
@JuanCarlosFejons, entiendo que los españoles no masacraran TANTO COMO LOS BRITANICOS a los nativos(porque igualmente lo hicieron, en menor escala pero los hechos son evidentes) , pero eso no es excusa para pensar que se les debe o que les debemos amar, maltrato es maltrato, esclavitud es esclavitud, no se trata de quedarme con el menos peor, SINO DE RECHAZAR CUALQUIER COSA QUE NOS DAÑE!
@tttatis06 Los hechos evidentes se tornan muy subjetivos en función de quien los cuente. Los muertos consecuencia de una guerra pueden catalogarlas de masacre quienes ya cité, sin tan siquiera conocer datos o esa propia historia ciñéndose sólo al populismo de un discurso.
Los esclavos no eran toda la población, sino los presos de guerra, algo común en la época incluso por nativos.
¿que daño os hace una lengua y cultura común para toda hispanoamérica? no os daña, os beneficia.
@JuanCarlosFejons tú mismo me has dado la razón en una cosa, esa misma subj. abre entre nosostros una brecha (porque a fin de cuentas no nos vamos a poner de acuerdo, por mucho que discutamos el tema en este espacio), porq' tu conoces la historia desde el ojo de los españoles, acomodada a su antojo, y yo desde el latino, igualmente acomodada hasta limitar todo a una "victima y un victimario".
@tttatis06 Empiezo por aclararte que latino soy yo, tu eres hispano, que nace de la fusión entre la sangre de Españoles y suramericanos. No se si conocerás las leyes de Indias, pero ahí están para la historia, en las que estaba prohibido incluso engañar a un nativo, es más, era preceptivo mezclarse cultural y sentimentalmente con los suramericanos nativos.
@tttatis06 La diferencia entre la reconquista de los moros que me dices y la independencia de suramérica, está en que la independencia no fue llevada a cabo por los nativos americanos, sino por codiciosos de poder de los virreyes u oficiales españoles. Esos fueron quienes orquestaron las guerras de independencia. Allí los llamais libertadores... os libraron de Pinochet, Fujimori, Castro, el corralito argentino, Chávez, Morales, etc.
@JuanCarlosFejons ante tu argumento de las leyes de indias no puedo refutar, las desconozco, y si bien las liberaciones se lograron por criollos, igualmente no se puede condenar el hecho y tacharseles de codiciosos cuando cualquiera querría gozar de su libertad plena...ahora, dado el caso que dichas leyes existiesen...
@JuanCarlosFejons tu crees que más allá de que estuvieran consignadas en papel se respetasen, cuando los españoles tenían la fiera discusión (y bastante controvertida)de si los "ladinos", indigenas, tenian alma, como se puede respetar a alguien que en vez de persona se le ve como objeto!
@JuanCarlosFejons aclaro e insisto, yo no rechazo esta leng, es el lazo q me une a un pasado, turbio... pero MIO a fin de cuentas. NO es excusa,si bien NO RENIEGO tampoco agradezco todo, me disculparás, pero no me parece que los españoles (sin ofender) pretendan que agradezcamos que por lo menos no masacraron, si no que nos esclavizaron que es "menos peor". Lo dices todo facil porque estas al otro lado del charco, o dime si es que España no quiso igualmente librarse de la invasión musulmana!
I live in colombia, cartagena, and everybody here is so happy that the british were defeated and have spanish culture and religion, thank God that the cool spanish saved us from the british bastards, thank you Spain, colombia owes you
If this guy was from the English speaking world, several movies, books and dramas would have already been written about him and immortalized him forever, with everyone knowing and celebrating his name.
Don Blas de Lezo was the epitome of a military hero a gallant man who although incapacitated by leg and arm amputations, and the loss of one eye, fought repeatedly in defense of his country and eventually died saving a city against overwhelming odds.
France did far more economic and political harm to Spain than Britain ever did, even though Britain was winning the mantel of global dominance by the mid to late 1700s.
It seems like there was a Spanish and French hegemony dominating the world between the 15th and 18th centuries, although since the 19th century it has been a Anglo-American hegemony (which will no doubt collpase before this century's out).
Menuda cagada más gorda de los ingleses. ¿Para cuando una pelicula de esta batalla? Que se conozca bien esta historia y las hazañas de Blas de lezo y su ejercito que la historia de la Armada invencible y Trafalgar nos la sabemos de memoria. Que nos tenemos que saber vender que otros (como los ingleses) con mucho menos se han sabido vender sus victorias...menudos hipocritas.
Surely we have different opinions. But realize the point: Trafalgar has never been censored in spanish history books. Just the opposite occurred with the british disaster at Carthagena. That makes a revealing distinction... O.K., let's leave it. Cheers.
you know what never mind that lets just say we took 21 ships and sank 1. you on the other hand took 0 sunk 0 if you want the men killed on the english side 458 1025 spainsh dead 2218 more frogs dead too plus 7000 of your men prisoner.
I'm not interested in discussing about patriotic bigotries. To my honest opinion the Spanish Empire was more durable, decent and human than the Brit. I'd recommend you not to read history books written by brits, they usually sacrifice the truth for the reputation of the 'holy' england in a way that evokes a dictatorship. Spain and England had empires, but that time has passed. The same will occur to USA. In the meanwhile brits should lick USA asses more discreetly, the spectacle is pathetic.
Yes, Trafalgar. The fag Villaneuve commanded our fleet and some French ships left the battle. I prefer the Armada 'vencible' of queen Elizabeth I, with Drake in the lead, humiliated in La Coruña and Lisbon?
Brutality? You know the thousands and thousands of human sacrifices in America before the arrival of the Spaniards? By the way, how many Indians are in Australia and North America and how many in South America? And what about Irish people under the evil Cronwell? Dont make me laugh..XD
Listen well and good, the tactics in almost every sea battle at that time were the same. The ships would line up, respectivly take blows, and when all was said and done the winners had no idea they infact had taken the day. Trafalgar was the greatest most sound victory here is a list of lost or take ships from the spanish and french side:
I know he wasn't cut out to be an admiral, but Villeneuve wasn't a bad guy. I always feel sorry for him. He didn't mean to get the combined fleet into such a bad situation and he was under a lot of pressure to do something impressive. He saw it as the only way to save his career. And he felt really bad about losing the battle. He killed himself afterwards.
True, he wasn't terribly bright. But I still pity the guy. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He could go home to France and be fired by a very ticked off Napoleon, (or worse,) or he could try to take on the British Fleet. In his situation, I'm not sure I would have done any better.
If Napoleon had allowed to command the combined fleet to the spanish admiral Churruca or even Gravina now one would speak french in England and all Canada and probably in US too. This was the first of the three errors that Napoleon committed. The others were to betray to spain and to invade it and of course the madness of trying to invade Russia.
I think that's not the point. Anyone can check the global disaster caused by the British Empire: slavery, robbery, destruction, racism... In short, the British Empire has lacked a civilizing project. It was but the plan hatched by pirates and merchants hidden behind the British monarchy, which is nothing more than a trademark. Not to mention the stupid British decolonization, which has exposed the world to the most dangerous conflicts: India-Pakistan, Israel, ethnic wars in Africa...
One point is that the spanish were even more brutal to the native populations. They murdered anyone who would not follow the cross. Another thing , bjdcbb is that all is your opion. And we are not ruled by those cowerdly fools. There name should not be used in the same breath as holy england. England was born to rule the world, AND BY SAINT GEORGE WE WILL!!!!! Spain, France, the USA, and the rest of the plages upon the world will once agian bow to britan. WE SHALL RULE ONCE MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The British Empire was far more brutal to the natives of the Americas than the Spanish Empire. The Spanish made a point of converting and assimilating the natives. The English made a point of exterminating them. The British did not allow natives to live among them. Wherever Brits settled, the natives had to be removed or exterminated. This is why there are still 60+ million native Americans left in Latin America while only 6 million remain in what was British America.
Actually in the 1st 100years of the Spanish Empire starting with the Aztecs 90%to95% of indians died from european diseases, the other half for the mountains or the jungles where the SPaniards could get to, The 1st spaniards who were the conqueres mixed in with the native populations and the 2nd wave of Spaniards married the ones who were already mixed and brought there own women with them- thus we are Spanish Americans. Viva Espania y la Hispanidad y que regrse el imperio!
grant4455 and i have this for you: 1589 Drake, Vernon Cartagena de Indias, Convoy Británico (1780) , Nelson 1797 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Cádiz 1797 nelson,san juan de puerto rico 1797,Brión War (1800), Royal Navy 1801 Algeciras,Río de la Plata 1806... I am tired...
Please you search original history, and you don´t read history manipulated by Brits for
Yes, Britain had more part of terrain in its proper empire but the truth is, also, that it only contained a much less amount of population and when at Spanish empire there were many parts of the world uncovered so we can say that the Spanish empire had much more merit and much more terrain and much more population than British empire if we consider more data, i say if we are more objective. Also the british are ruled by their proper colony while spaniards are upon their colonies.
Who can claim that our Armada was defeated and destroyed by the English? The most important fight was that of Gravelines, in which 40 Spanish vessels sustained the attack of 150 British ships, leaving the danger with only two wrecks. Talking about Napoleonic wars: the frenches were defeated for the first time in a battlefield by the Spanish army at Bailén. Finally, I enjoy British arrogance, one realizes the mood in a small island now ruled by one of its ancient colonies, USA. Cheers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To put it frankly Spain was a joke compaired to Britan at its hight Britan held 1/4 of the worlds land mass and 1/2 of its pop. and the britsh navy in 1805 had more than 1000 ships. And when spain tried to invade england you were beaten in an even more crushing defeat! We kicked you rear in the Nepoleanic wars!!!
Spain is no joke is a nation of bravemen and bravewomen.
only 300 spaniards (as the "300" in Termopilas) defeated the entire 1.500 british vanguard in Cartagena, Venezuela, in 1741. The entire british fleet also were defeated.
in 1813 the Spaniards defeated the Napoleonic invaders.
@telkines 300 spaniards with machetes in a close corridor waitting for the dogs of England.... the siege of Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) is one of the most humiliant defeats of the history.
Two comments: 1) Lawrence Washington, a half-brother of George Washington, commanded the troops of Virginia at Carthagena. 35 years later US gets the independece with spanish help. 2) The inscription on the monument erected for Vernon in England says "at Carthagena conquered as far as naval forces could carry victory..." This must be brit (lack of) humor XD
ill try 2 write in english, so sry 4 my bad english.
Spanish people do not know nothing about Blas de Lezo. When spanish beated british, they tried to hide all things that could remind the battle and the incredible victory of spain. British made a lot of coins celebrating the victory, and then they drop it out . VIVA ESPAÑA!
Razones por las que has de retocar el video. Blas de Lezo nació en Pasajes, Guipúzcoa. Bien, las imágenes de las has sacado a este actor que aparece al principio haciendo de Blas de Lezo son extraídas de un programa inglés en el cuál la periodista que viaja y relata afirma a los espectadores que este moro, defendió Cartagena de Indias de un asedio PIRATA. LOS INGLESES SON UNOS MANIPULADORES y Blas de Lezo no está bien caracterizado. Fíjate bien. Si parece Bin Laden.
Well we could argue for ages, but the real point is you english guys cant stand your own country. England is a tiny piece of land, with a boring landscape and a single climat, which is horrible. The pubs close at 23:00, and the food is probably the worst in europe. Lets face it You guys are dying to come to spain, enjoy the wheater,and that sense of freedom you experience two weeks a year. And yes, you are superb sailors, and great warriors, brave and resiliant, tough english bastards :-)
I don't know why some brits here get offence watching this video... Well, you're always claiming about the famous spanish armada and so... But the fact is your loss in this battle was even bigger.
El montaje del vídeo está muy bien, pero en lo que a música se refiere deja bastante que desear. La calidad del sonido es muy pobre, mucho ruido, además da la impresión de que mezclas varios temas al mismo tiempo. Queda recargado. Intenta con el tema de Immediate Music Preliator, se ajusta bien al tema. Pese a los defectos, agradezco tu aportación. Saludos.
(continuando) mientras que españa NECESITABA a los indigenas como mano de obra por millares en minas y obrajes, las familias anglosajonas solo se establecian, edificaban pueblos y granjas y expulsaban a los indios de sus tierras, españa hacia trabajar a los suyos aunque claro que es cierto que la poblacin mestiza no salio de masivas violaciones sino de uniones (tb matrimonios) la religion catolica pinta mucho en eso... tp t creas la leyenda rosa española, me encanta el debate historico :D
Los indígenas eran considerados subditos del rey, igual a los castellanos. Los evangelizadores fueron los primeros en aprender sus lenguas y en registrar su cultura. Gracias a ello, aun hoy se conservan muchas lenguas indígenas. La conquista española de America pretendía crear un ideal de Civilización cristiana: la Hispanidad. Todo lo contrario a la colonización británica, que se basaba únicamente en el comercio.
+100 puntos correcto .un buen ejemplo es la pelicula THE MISSION y la labor de los misioneros jesuitas ,con todos sus fallos la labor española fue mucho mas moderna para su epoca que la inglesa ,ellos consideraban que los indios tenian alma gracias a ello el pueblo guaraní de paraguay todavia existe .Un saludo
Don Blas de Lezo es seguramente el militar mas impresionante que ha existido, leed tu biografia, un autentico super hombre como no hay en estos tiempos, olvidado por culpa de muchos envidiosos y cainitas de nuestro propio pais( aun existen, solo hay que leer algunos comentarios) y por supuesto enterrado en la historia por la sucia lengua inglesa que compensaban asi la falta de cojones en la batalla, que en España sobraban :).
todo lo que sea hacer publicidad veridica sobre nuestros heroes es de agradecer Recomiendo el libro de Pablo Victoria y la visita a Cartagena de Indias, especatacular el castillo de San Felipe y toda la fortaleza, la zona colonial, ademas las colombianas son guapisimas :)
Es curiosa la historia, fueron indigenas por millares los que ayudaron a un puñado de españoles a derribar poderosos imperios como el azteca e inca, y luego fueron indigenas tb los que bajaron al sepulcro defendiendo los derechos del rey contra las ambiciones de los criollos que como buen americano he de afirmar que era nuestro legítimo derecho dirigir nuestro destino, les recomiendo q lean "carta a los españoles americanos" de Vizcardo y Guzman, sintetiza el anhelo criollo.
Gracias Tercioss, a ti te hacia yo ministro de fomento y estructuras o como se llame para liarte a hacer monumentos a nuestros grandes heroes y patear caras anglosajonas jejeje
That Army was the second bigger of the history, only D-Day was bigger than that. Is all i have to say. If you don't want to know the true you're a fucked ignorant. :)
England = Pirates, Corsaires... The rest of countries discover.. England only stole. :P
Look the Roman Empire, look the Otoman Empire, Egipt, Macedonia, Mongolia, UK, all empires falls, don't worry and, another. We conquest all with honour, you don't say the same, PIRATES! is the first kingdom that pay pirates and corsaires, the fair play is a big word for an englishman.
You conquered with honour? You are kidding me. You stole and plundered. We built our empire through trade, and when need military might. You are deluded...
Ha, ha, ha... Which is your culture? It of being the whole drunk day, that of the hooligans, disgusting food, that of the miser show. You do not know Spain not to the Spaniards. We were giving philosophers and emperors Rome when you still were walking in loincloth :-p
I do not have anybody that to envy to an englishman, on the contrary. Say me, how many english men a year turn to the catholicism? The catholicism that defended always the Spanish Empire... ;-)
The shame is what the good english men must feel, if even they stay, before the terrible decadence of his Anglican church: women bishops, homosexual, transsexual... :-(
Your the poor man of EU, any way, Im colombian from cartagena, and everybody here is so happy that the british were defeated and have spanish culture and religion, thank God that the cool spanish saved us from the british bastards, thank you Spain, colombia owes you
seria un honor ser tu amigo ...la mitad de los soldados que defendieron cartagena eran colombianos como tu ,que se sentian orgullosos de ser lo que eran ,la mayor derrota que sufrieron los britanicos en su Historia y una de las mas espectaculares que han visto los siglos al estilo las termopilas : ) si te gustaria saber mas tieene que leer el libro de tu compatriota PABLO VICTORIA .un saludo VIVA ESPAÑA Y LA HISPANIDAD
@capenati what the fuck!! you are not colombian, shut your dirty mouth! You killed lots of indigenous and african innocent slaves! we wanted to be slaved neither by spanish nor by british people! you think we owe spaniards? that's what spanish people think, how dare you! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW! how could someone love and owe someone who devastated and humilliated its population for many years!
@tttatis06 um.......yeah.....learn history, would you rather the british or their colonials who massacred the natives......the spanish mixed, thats why there is mestizos in your country. Besides, I've lived in your country for 15 years, I do dare
@capenati Don't you know how to read?? I haven't said I prefer brits, and don't tell me to learn about history, not only am I colombian, but I am also from Cartagena, that's why I DO know what I am talking about, what I said was that we, colombian people, owe NOTHING to spaniards,spaniards owe us, and owe african people, they are rich because they stole us: remember my friend: LA RIQUEZA DE EUROPA ES LA POBREZA DE AMERICA Y AFRICA!
@capenati ajá, soy mujer, y ya veo que discriminas color y procedencia, no hay problema, no sigamos discutiendo, porque te me sales por la tangente con algo que ni al caso, estamos hablando de una cosa y terminas con otra, de cualquier modo yo no soy quien para romper con tus rigidos esquemas mentales que no van más allá de una burbuja!

Blas de Lezo, uno de los mayores genios militares de la historia, no tiene ni siquiera una puñetera calle en Madrid. Es así de triste y lamentable. Ocultamos a nuestros propios héroes, mientras que otras naciones los ensalzan. Si hubiera sido la historia de Cartagena de Indias al revés, Inglaterra estaría llena de estatuas dedicadas a Vernon. Y aquí, con suerte veremos una calle dedicada a Belén Esteban antes que al gran Blas de Lezo.

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.

@dovtponevv, I can easily assure you that the English are no cowards, they always fight bravely. They too do have some very humiliating disasters. The spanish lost the battle of gravelines, and that was the largest fleet they ever built.

The english lost more ships and men than in this battle than the Spanish did at Gravelines.
Also a small French Norman Army crossed the english channel and conquered the whole of England, but didn't conqueror Scotland or Wales.

@goodrowj Roma also won BRITAIN. we are talking about Spain as a kingdom. and the kingdom of Spain was never conquered. Napoleon never conquered Spain. in fact, the first defeat of the Spanish troops was the hand of the Spanish, which made him say, if I was Spanish army, had won the war. Guerrilla warfare was invented at the time, certainly by the Spanish.

@goodrowj sorry for my English, is "English to google" so that I will soon .. indeed many of the victories scored against England Spain were no post and changed for the benefit of English. Including the defeat of the "armada", which was sunk by the storm and not by your troops. Blas de Lezo, The War of the ear .. the countless battles that England had with Spain throughout history ..

@expertstrategy WHAT? SPAIN WIN THE BATTLE!!!. The Battle of Gravelines was fought on July 13, 1558 at Gravelines, near Calais, France. It occurred during the 1547–1559 war between France and Spain.
The battle resulted in a victory by the Spanish forces, led by Lamoral, Count of Egmont over the French under Marshal Paul de Thermes. The Spanish were supported by the English Navy, who opened fire on the French as they reached the sand dunes at Gravelines. /wiki/Battle_of_Gravelines_%281558%29

@expertstrategy Always for bad weather in 1588 and 1805, no for brave British. Very lucky UK gives thanks God to be a island in North Sea. Spain only lost a few ships In the battles, the rest back to Spain. In 1588 5.000 Spaniards arrive to irland coast and attack UK. Nobody know if Spaniards were winning the battle until the bad weather came. The true is that Spanish Empire came to the end for another cause, yellow fever, crisis, many fronts of battle open, bad weather and Napoleon was the end.

1. spain tried to conquer a country
2.Brits had 190 warships and Spain had 130 warships/galleons
3.i dont refuse the brits strategy,but bad weather help them to defend
anyway, i agee the brits talent at sea battles

3. the main power of spain was a good strategy not a huge army or a bad weather to help

The english got absolutely smashed in this war, it was englands grand attempt to wrstle the americas from spain to claim it for themselves, yet in anglo history you never hear of it. The english even minted coins proclaiming victory whenthey actually got wasted. This was a more resounding victory than the one the english claimed over the armada of 1588 which was predominantly affected by the winds & seas.

By honest count we lost 18,000 men dead, and according to a Spanish soldier we captured, they lost at most 200. Admiral One Leg with his excellet leadership and fire killed 9,000 of our men, General Fever killed a like number. When I last saw the harbor of Cartagena, its surface was gray with the rotting bodies of our men, who died so rapidly that we could not bury them.[25]

France did far more economic and political harm to Spain than Britain ever did, even though Britain was winning the mantel of global dominance by the mid to late 1700s.
It seems like there was a Spanish and French hegemony dominating the world between the 15th and 18th centuries, although since the 19th century it has been a Anglo-American hegemony (which will no doubt collpase before this century's out).

I'm not interested in discussing about patriotic bigotries. To my honest opinion the Spanish Empire was more durable, decent and human than the Brit. I'd recommend you not to read history books written by brits, they usually sacrifice the truth for the reputation of the 'holy' england in a way that evokes a dictatorship. Spain and England had empires, but that time has passed. The same will occur to USA. In the meanwhile brits should lick USA asses more discreetly, the spectacle is pathetic.

Listen well and good, the tactics in almost every sea battle at that time were the same.

bjdcbb 2 years ago 5
I know he wasn't cut out to be an admiral, but Villeneuve wasn't a bad guy. I always feel sorry for him. He didn't mean to get the combined fleet into such a bad situation and he was under a lot of pressure to do something impressive. He saw it as the only way to save his career. And he felt really bad about losing the battle. He killed himself afterwards.

True, he wasn't terribly bright. But I still pity the guy. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He could go home to France and be fired by a very ticked off Napoleon, (or worse,) or he could try to take on the British Fleet. In his situation, I'm not sure I would have done any better.

If Napoleon had allowed to command the combined fleet to the spanish admiral Churruca or even Gravina now one would speak french in England and all Canada and probably in US too. This was the first of the three errors that Napoleon committed. The others were to betray to spain and to invade it and of course the madness of trying to invade Russia.

@grant4455
The British Empire was far more brutal to the natives of the Americas than the Spanish Empire. The Spanish made a point of converting and assimilating the natives. The English made a point of exterminating them. The British did not allow natives to live among them. Wherever Brits settled, the natives had to be removed or exterminated. This is why there are still 60+ million native Americans left in Latin America while only 6 million remain in what was British America.

Actually in the 1st 100years of the Spanish Empire starting with the Aztecs 90%to95% of indians died from european diseases, the other half for the mountains or the jungles where the SPaniards could get to, The 1st spaniards who were the conqueres mixed in with the native populations and the 2nd wave of Spaniards married the ones who were already mixed and brought there own women with them- thus we are Spanish Americans.

Yes, Britain had more part of terrain in its proper empire but the truth is, also, that it only contained a much less amount of population and when at Spanish empire there were many parts of the world uncovered so we can say that the Spanish empire had much more merit and much more terrain and much more population than British empire if we consider more data, i say if we are more objective. Also the british are ruled by their proper colony while spaniards are upon their colonies.

Who can claim that our Armada was defeated and destroyed by the English? The most important fight was that of Gravelines, in which 40 Spanish vessels sustained the attack of 150 British ships, leaving the danger with only two wrecks. Talking about Napoleonic wars: the frenches were defeated for the first time in a battlefield by the Spanish army at Bailén. Finally, I enjoy British arrogance, one realizes the mood in a small island now ruled by one of its ancient colonies, USA. Cheers.

Los indígenas eran considerados subditos del rey, igual a los castellanos. Los evangelizadores fueron los primeros en aprender sus lenguas y en registrar su cultura. Gracias a ello, aun hoy se conservan muchas lenguas indígenas. La conquista española de America pretendía crear un ideal de Civilización cristiana: la Hispanidad. Todo lo contrario a la colonización británica, que se basaba únicamente en el comercio.

Look at spain now! Its a low status country. Your puny empire gave you nothing... Such a shame to see a mediocre country fall even further.

Look the Roman Empire, look the Otoman Empire, Egipt, Macedonia, Mongolia, UK, all empires falls, don't worry and, another. We conquest all with honour, you don't say the same, PIRATES! is the first kingdom that pay pirates and corsaires, the fair play is a big word for an englishman.

You conquered with honour? You are kidding me. You stole and plundered. We built our empire through trade, and when need military might. You are deluded...

It is a quiet invasion. Changing your language and culture...
m52spy 2 years ago
Ha, ha, ha... Which is your culture? It of being the whole drunk day, that of the hooligans, disgusting food, that of the miser show. You do not know Spain not to the Spaniards. We were giving philosophers and emperors Rome when you still were walking in loincloth :-p

Look at you now, poor man of EU?? and you??
I do not have anybody that to envy to an englishman, on the contrary. Say me, how many english men a year turn to the catholicism? The catholicism that defended always the Spanish Empire... ;-)
eliahartista 2 years ago
Not many turn to the dark side. Being catholic has held you back, just like it did the Irish. Its a shame.

The shame is what the good english men must feel, if even they stay, before the terrible decadence of his Anglican church: women bishops, homosexual, transsexual... :-(

The empiricism english of Bacon, Hume, Mill, does not deserve the name of philosophy. Decadent thought that has contaminated any West
At least Tony Blair will be able to obtain the eternal salvation :-)))
eliahartista 2 years ago
HAHA, so true.
Blair's conversion was a surprise.
He is wise enough to know that the Anglican faith is a sham. It is a sham purposely designed to absolve the English state of any moral responsibility.

@capenati Don't you know how to read?? I haven't said I prefer brits, and don't tell me to learn about history, not only am I colombian, but I am also from Cartagena, that's why I DO know what I am talking about, what I said was that we, colombian people, owe NOTHING to spaniards,spaniards owe us, and owe african people, they are rich because they stole us: remember my friend: LA RIQUEZA DE EUROPA ES LA POBREZA DE AMERICA Y AFRICA!

Then why is Spain being flooded by English immigrants?
45,000 last year, right?
Someone please shut off that flow. I don't want a Spain full of Englishmen when I return.
I would rather have Puerto Ricans than Englishmen.
