El asedio de Santo Domingo de 1655, fue un gran batalla entre 23 de abril de 1655 al 30 de Abril.Una fuerza de 2.400 tropas españolas liderada por el Gobernador Don Bernardino Meneses y Bracamonte, Conde de Peñalba, derrotó a una fuerza de 13.120 efectivos y 34 buques encabezada por el Almirante Sir William Penn.

El premio de consolacion fue Jamaica, una isla muchisimo mas pequeña y sin apenas guarnicion

@cineaccion3

The Spanish tried to twice to recapture Jamaica and were met with defeat...

They would try again in 1782 only to be scared away by Royal Navy.

The Siege of Santo Domingo of 1655, was a major battle fought between April 23, 1655 to April 30, 1655 at Santo Domingo, Colony of Santo Domingo. A force of 2400 Spanish troops led by Governor Don Bernardino Meneses y Bracamonte, Count of Peñalba, defeated a force of 13,120 troops and 34 ships of the English Commonwealth Navy led by Admiral Sir William Penn

[MrNami94]

[katalambda]

@LordGeorgeRodney

Sorry, it wasn't look for example at the cannons per units, artillery do the 80% in a siege, the men without cannons cannot make so much in this kind of battles:

And sorry but u're wrong

Siege of Gibraltar left 6000 deads in the Spanish side but Cartagena was:

8,700-11,000 dead

7,438 wounded,

for the english. Plese don't be ahistorical.

There has never been a battle like that one where the royal navy sadly lost so much.

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@katalambda

LOL!

most were to disease less than 2,000 were causes of death due to weapons..

The Spanish at Gibraltar over 3 years lost the same amount as many were suffering from scurvy & other diseases..

Gibraltar was BIGGER & LONGER..

cry me a river.

70,000 vs 7,000

: (

[katalambda]

@LordGeorgeRodney u cannot compare the casualties LordGeorgeRodney, that's a fact, and not the diseases but the battle was the cause of the tremendous defeat of the royal navy, and historically the two battle cannot be compared, that's historically, now if you want to be nationalism you will say what you want of course, as the Spanish says in their videos, if i guide by the Spanish videos the Spanish won more battles, i f i do by the british, the british won more battles

[raikonen3]

What about Cartagena de Indias???

[LordGeorgeRodney]

what about Spanish siege of Gibraltar 1779-83

which was far bigger & longer!?

[esthai]

@LordGeorgeRodney What about erasing all your defeats from history books??? Dont you feel proud anyway? Oh wait... maybe you have your reasons for not feeling proud of your troops (looting, cowardice...)

English=pirates=DOGS (and you know it)

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@esthai Wellington saved Spain from French looting was a price paid because of Spanish armies countless defeats by French.

Looting was a price paid for foreigners liberating your country ha ha!!!

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@esthai Trafalgar were the Royal navy pirates?

[iIovejapan]

Yea the Brits used to be pretty epic but now they are letting muzzies take over their country. Too bad you will islamicized before you know it.

[TheGreatBritishTeen]

5 stars for the in depth information and the beautiful, epic music :)

Everything is solved on SmackDown Pressing catch XD:

[gatmal62]

How can you claim Gravelines, Mardyck, Dunkirk and the battle of the Dunes only as great British victories ? You have a curious manner to revisit history. It approach hypocrisy and propaganda. If you claim all the glory of all the battles you won with allies, i'm no more surprised that you can now boast of having won all the wars !

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@gatmal62

check the title it is English v Spanish.

If you want to make a video about France & Spain be my guest...

[gatmal62]

yes i checked it but when you won a battle with allies (plus those were under the command of Turenne), you can't put these battles a video which Title "English vs Spanish". it's called intellectual dishonesty or false advertising or something like that. That's also an insult for allies who fought at your side...

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@gatmal62

Yes it was under French command & the French were allies. I acknowledge that here & now... but to put that in this video would mean to send messages to other videos who had allies in 'their' victories that they failed to mention!

Do you see my point now?

[gatmal62]

Oh if i see ! That's a perpetual war of youtube users where nobody is objective. Anyone can tell the crap he wants and do his small mixture in his corner to distort the historical reality in order to benefit his camp. So every videos on those themes on YT, no matter the side, can't really be taken for the truth and are purely subjective in relation to the nationality of the author. Now i effectively see your point !

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@gatmal62

Well check out the other vids..

they are just as guilty..

: D

[gatmal62]

Yes that's what i said.... they are just as guilty... no matter the side (camp) !

[CanadianMonarchist1]

The sea battles are my favorites, epic tales of gallant men risking their lives in the name of their countries of origin

[LordGeorgeRodney]

Great Spanish defeats!

ROFL!!

[mastercheff1216]

Excellent piece of work, keep it up and hammer those ever weakening Spaniards on your channel Muahahahahaha.
