@kalianr360; Why not? The Murrikwans are at least three times as evil an empire as the Brits, and that is saying quite a good deal there, my good chap. They have sold out absolutely, and flooded the earth with genetic garbage and cheap plastic imported prole-crap. There is nothing they have not vulgarized and levelled down to an impossible ideal of eqaulity and 'libertah". If any international power has risen WORSE than communism, it is the Murrikwan kike-ruled empire. The entire world knows it
@lennie1able Not true. The cannon was captured after the fall of Sebastopol - two years after this battle. Or by "battle" did you mean war - as in Crimean War?
@akosigundam Accuracy at the galllup was very poor, and reload was totally impractical. A lance or saber requires no reloading, and is deadly as long as you have strength and breath to use it.
@PantlessWanderer Trained horses are expensive animals and nobody wants to see them hurt. Actors and stuntmen would rebel and strike if horse-massacres occurred in film-making. They don't. It's animal rights propaganda repeated mindlessly by people who don't understand that stunts are fake. Falling doesn't hurt them, it's stepping in holes that can cause injury. Sets are carefully groomed to prevent that. Hollywood horse actors have better medical care than many poor Americans.
Yes, but not on this day, the Light Brigade broke through the guns and chased the Cossacks from the battle field, some of the Light Brigade rode back through the Russian guns on Cossack horses.
The Brit soldier is still pretty good but Brit officers from Brigadier upwards seem to lose contact with reality and their men and focus more on promotion than their men.
Almost 10 years later, Pickett's man would do a similar fool hardy charge (although infantry only) at a prepared defense.
I assure you, no army in the world can ever break a well prepared line, supported with artillery just by valiantly charging in a frontal assault.
Why? Its because the artillery can engage at long range and is extremely deadly at close range with canister shot that will tear apart anything in front of the gun.
Artillery is also called the king of the battlefield.
@ConstantineJoseph that was General Lee's fault he had poor strategy the whole Gettysburgh campaign. He did suffer a heart attack during that time and it contributed to his failure of planning. Did not help jeb Stuart was not doing his job either. The resulting outcome was positive but could have been different if Lee was feeling better.
@jparso3 Oh, I feel privileged to be told things by such an military expert. How can Lee ever had the poor strategy, if he never let the enemy to have a massive victory? during the Gettysburg some of the actions were poorly coorinated in time, i.e. 2nd july. If all 'd gone like Lee wanted, and if JEB Stuart didn't fucked up his job Meade would get serious disaster. It's easy to give advices from behind of the monitor, you know?
it captures the spirit of cavalry forces at that time. Completely obsolescent but still unwilling to let go of their seniority. It went all the way up to WW2.
was this movie based on a true story? if it is i would like to see the movie from the start so i can understand the story. or someone can tell me a bit of it?
@stardust2803 The movie 'The Charge Of The Light Brigade' (1968) is based on an episode during the Crimea War where Great Britian and France fought with Russia in the Crimea region. The Charge of the Light Brigade was a charge of British cavalry led by Lord Cardigan against Russian guns during the Battle of Balaclava on 25 October 1854 in the Crimean War. The poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, is world famous. The charge was the result of a miscommunication.
@DukoOsshiiKhan skynews bulletin yesterday 20 slaves freed in travellers park location England. A couple of men charged by the police. You tell me how can I explain some sickos in europe like fritzel imprison people. Believe what you want about the madists but thats not their name. They are clans under ancient kingdoms called emirates and they rode with slave armies to prevent britain reaching the centre Sokoto. You wont know this because its knowledge of African clans who fought the Brits.
@DukoOsshiiKhan Madhists lol another lie of History, the Sudanic kingdoms were actually emboldened by the Sokoto Caliphate. The Madists were not the main instigators. It was the Sokoto Caliphate form Northern Nigeria. It was Usman Dan Fodios Jihad that inspired other Sudanese Kingdoms to wage war on colonials under an Islamic flag. This inaccurate representation of history is due to the lack of colonial inroads into Northern Nigeria until 1914. The Madists revolution was a slave army.
@DukoOsshiiKhan that was another wanker missed the comment. Abolished slavery lol is that what they told you. Theres an online book called men in the middle. Its a tale about the RWAFF, the colonial army in west africa, made up of 60% of my tribe as directed by the King my Great GRANDAFTHER. HE SOLD SLAVES TO BRITAIN IN THE 1920S, THESE SLAVES WERE MADE INTO SOLDIERS. My Granfather sold slaves to the British to form the troop for ww2. There is nothing you can tell me about colonialism.
@DukoOsshiiKhan Your blaming Jews. It was an anglo saxon who decared war on my Great Grandfathers empire, the excuse was headhunting practices and slavery date 1925. Nothing to do with Jews it was a pure blooded Anglo Saxon with approval from whitehall. Know your history before making sweeping generalisation. Deal with specifics, this zionist conspiracy BS doesnt wash with me.
@DukoOsshiiKhan dude get a fucking life read about the trans atlantic slave trade the murder/genocide of the red indians its well known. Or for specifics the rape of the amazon warriors of dohemey
@sexymalcom1970 You mean the trans atlantic slave trade that was started by Portugal? That involved them, Spain, Holland, France and Britain? Not to mention the Arab slave trade on the opposite side of Africa that had been happening for a thousand years? The slaughtering of red indians such as those allied to Britain and under the protection of Britain during the US war of Independence? Who were eventually exterminated by the United States in its "manifest destiny" rather than Britain?
@sexymalcom1970 Britain's contribution to the virtual elimination of native americans was of course dwarfed by the effort put in by the Spanish in Latin and South America, and France had a good bash on the North American natives as well. And Africa, well where do we start!? Ever heard of French North Africa? German exterminations of African tribes in their empire? The Belgian Congo? (the horrors perpetrated there were stopped by a mixture of British and American pressure)

(the horrors perpetrated there were stopped by a mixture of British and American pressure)
@sexymalcom1970 And let's not forget Portugal and Italy's contribution to the colonising of Africa. The point i'm making is that Britain was no different to any other country of its time. Don't be gullible enough to compare things that happened in the past with modern high standards. Everything must be judged by the standards of its time, and by those standards the British empire was the most liberal and enlightened of the many empires. The British empire was far from perfect of course
@thebigJM92 Im not speaking about portugal im talking about the British empire. I dislike comments that deviate from the topic. Its a sign of poor comprehension or basic propaganda spreading. Either I disdain.''Everything must be judged by the standards of its time, and by those standards the British empire was the most liberal and enlightened of the many empires''.
Murdering /raping women, killing old men, stealing, destroying, lol if thats liberal then whats evil.
@sexymalcom1970 Name another empire in history that has not done the things you mentioned. I have just given you plenty of instances of other nations doing as bad or worse than the British empire and yet you refuse to listen to anything other than your own view. Is it something personal? Youtube does love bias so. "I dislike comments that deviate from the topic". I'm not deviating I'm putting things in their proper perspective.
@sexymalcom1970 You think the land taken by Britain would have stayed independent if Britain had not taken it first? Do you know the history of India? Have you heard of the Scramble for Africa? Surely you know that the Spanish empire in America was vast before Britain had a single colony in america? You are at best naive, at worst wilfully ignorant to believe it. The only difference is that Britain would have been conquered too, falling fatally behind the European empires
@sexymalcom1970 Creating the two biggest democracy's in the world, structural engineering projects that countries are still using to this day to provide land, food and infrastructure for hundreds of millions of people, introducing the idea of equality before the law, innocent until proven guilty, a free press, ending practices like cannibalism, ritual burning of widows etc. Being a key player in defeating Napoleon and Hitler (not possible without an empire), bringing peace and providing order
@thebigJM92 Just a few of many positives. Of course as I said before there were also many negatives. Britain did indulge in the slave trade for quite a while (though it was only joining the bandwagon and would afterward do far more than any other country in the world to eradicate slavery), did kill civilians, loot and plunder etc. Interestingly though many of the worst things committed by the British empire were not sanctioned by Parliament and were the acts of individuals (see Cecil Rhodes)
@ALDERMANOFFOUNTALL And finally, I absolutely agree with you that even with all the bad things done, it is preposterous to call the British Empire the most evil thing in history. I never said it, and do not want people to construe that my comments imply that. Thank you.
@ALDERMANOFFOUNTALL And lastly, wars are never fought for pure altruistic reasons, but rather rational self-interest. I also think you are discrediting the Russian contributions in both WW when you remark that "...in the 20th century was the difference between victory and defeat in 2 World Wars..." I think if the Russians had not stopped the Germans in Stalingrad and Leningrad, with sacrifices in the millions, the tide could have been very different.
@ALDERMANOFFOUNTALL Also as regards to your point why the former colonies retained the customs and organizations. I think you must separate the procedural aspects of the British system with the substantive practices. The former colonies understood how efficient the procedure-mechanism are, but that they can now use it in a more favorable practice for their own good, where they themselves can rule their own people.
@ALDERMANOFFOUNTALL I hope things are clearer now. I do not want people to have the assumption that I feel as if Great Britain is evil. No, just like every nation in the face of this world, Great Britain has some stained history. But also beautiful history.
@ALDERMANOFFOUNTALL I think you misunderstood my remarks completely. All I did was point out to Marcus that while Great Britain has done many great things, things which you have detailed, we cannot let those good things white out the terrible things done as well. He asked of me to provide examples and I did. But, and mind you, but I never called the British Empire the most evil thing that happened to humanity. Was it not Great Britain that stopped Louis IVX at Blenheim? Or other dictators?
Noble British arrogance and incompetence has done its best to cost the British many battles, and occasionally it is those nobles who suffer, as with the cavalry here. But it's always those stubborn bastards in red coats on foot who have bailed their "betters" out again and again.
only just watched the whole clip as my internet is so poor and the lagging painful, but the last minute or so of buck passing between Lucan Raglan and cardigan is just classic....almost Monty Pythonesque !
The internet really is the most surreal gatheringplace for every kind of dysfunctionate loony. Reading all these comments about everything from half-baked misunderstandings of religion to racist conspiracy theories, you name it. This is a great movie by Tony Richardson, and its main thrust then and now was as a fairly savage attack on the English class system. It's full of great writing by Wood, a great music score by Addison. People only show the sensation bits, none of the wit. Adolescents.
I can say that I am an Blackfoot and as an Indian I know what America has done and is still doing today, Obama is no better he lied and all of the Indian nations in America are suffering. Check out Native Americans against Obama. or check out Pine ridge Indian reservation and the electric situation. Come and try to live on an Indian reservation it sucks!!
British brought disease to many of the island nations and helped destroy entire civilizations, so dont talk about SCIENCE and Reform, more like rule and conquer,and massacre millions of inocent people.
@Krylogenic This coming from an Americunt, whose nation was founded by British and European settlers. It was the US Union that destroyed the Native Americans, post-Independence, even post-Civil War. Didn't lear your lesson - couldn't have black slaves, so you turned to massacring Natives. Don't talk shit - we brought disease? Every country has its own diseases. We created medicines too. Racist Jap-nuking prick. Vietnam was a bigger criminal war than anything the UK did - and you lost. Go figure.
Johann all war movies are "anti war" as they show some sort of horror. In this case, the brigade was decimated and the movie is more about the arrogance of aristocracy and the hubris of leaders.
@corneliusvanDB Yes, but please bear in mind that those concentration camps were simply that - concentrated groups of people - they were not extermination camps, and didn't have gas chambers, crematoriums, mass burial pits, execution walls, or such. Other that that, I'm as disgusted by their poor standards as anyone and don't seek to defend them like other biased Brits might do. Civilian casualties are never acceptable, yet they always seem to suffer the worst losses in most wars. Such is war,
@MarcusBritish |: Haa Haaa Haaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the Concentration Camp is a British Invention Haaa Haaaaa Haaa South Africa Haaa Haaa Haaaaaaaa Haaaaaa. Read a history book once in a while you might learn something.
@Steve96461 You might want to try reading one yourself - in 1880 Britain was formally known as "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" because you Paddy bastards were under our rule 100% and much of the British Army was Irish. In fact, George Colley, commander of the British Forces in the 1st Boer War, was born in Rathangan, Ireland. Herbert Kitchener was also born in Ireland and created the first C.camps in 1900.
In short - ahhhh you fucking bog-trotting loser! Go chew on a potato! Haha!
@MarcusBritish |: You couldn't be more right the British Empire wouldn't be fuck all without the Irish 30% of the Navy & Army through the 1800 - 1900. Lord Wellington - Irish. Sir Tim Collins Irish - best units in British Army have also been Irish. And you still had the arrogance to try and take over but never did. Even nowadays the fucking Welsh have got the bollocks to tell England to fuck off. Kitchener was like Thatcher an Anglo not a proper paddy they we wouldn't have worn the shirt. Loser
@Steve96461 Wellesley was Anglo-Irish, said so himself. I've read, and written, more about him than most British commanders. And the main reason more Irishmen joined the British Army in the 19th C. was to avoid poverty - Ireland was poor then, and the army had food, gin and was a paid job. Since then it became more of a fighting tradition and pride. And why not, the Redcoats were the best soldiers to ever exist wherever they were from - Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England.
@MarcusBritish |: If the Red Coats were the best in the world why did England not set foot against Napoleon. They paid Austrians & Russians to go and do they're dirty work while they sailed round the ocean in they're ships. They only got involved in the peninsular war when Spain was conducting the most successful guerila war of all time. Also the Germans were thrashing you in WW1 & WW2 until the American economy saved you TWICE. The Royal Navy was a force in its time but the Army no.
@Steve96461 Gosh your knowledge has a lot to be desired, I'd call it almost pro-American given it's gaping holes. The British were fighting all over during the Napoleonic War - they were in America, India, West-Indies, etc - how could they commit all their army to fight Napoleon - a war which many politicians actual opposed - Wellington was lucky to have what he got! German had Allies, so did we, we - again, America didn't win anything, it merely "plugged the holes" in the front lines.
@MarcusBritish |: Ha ha ha i don't know much about history hilarious. WW1 & WW2 were wars of attrition they could not have been won without the American economy & waves of Soviets soldiers. America didn't win anything are you retarded it lead to the greatest surge of the American economy in history. They bankrupted then bought out the British Empire. Modern Germany is in a better state than you know and they lost the wars. You're bankrupt and being outbred by Muslims.
@Steve96461 Thanks for confirming that your "study" of history is nothing short of a biased read up of a few pro-American, pro-Irish, anti-English websites. You've said nothing that qualifies as unbiased, verifiable or quantitative. Typical nonsense one comes to expect from a YouTuber without an education, certificate or degree to his name. As for the "outbred by Muslims" bollocks - you read EDL propaganda too, well done - shame it's not true. Germany is a fascist state still, an EU parasite.
@MarcusBritish |: My god you are deluded. You know nothing of my education or qualifications. As for Germany being parasite its doubling its military and expanding its economy and industry which Germany still has. What has England got financial services? Now my turn to get Freudian on you let me guess sad guy clinging onto what England once was but never really was. Hated before the Germans even by its own classes and neighbours. Question name the last great thing that was british?
@Steve96461 You have no ed/quals so there's nothing to know. Freudian psychology is based on sex, dreams and relationship with mother, so your analysis was flawed from the start. GB has it's people, pride and pound - as the Euro is about to crash, and burn - that stupid currency controlled by the German bankers - thieves and criminals, in a country funded by stolen Jewish gold - is about to go tits up. Then who gets the last laugh? Fuck German and its economy and people. There is no "God", btw.
@MarcusBritish |: You are an absolute English man aren't you. Ignorant ill educated and quite frankly pathetic. Its people like that cause people to hate the English. You know nothing about any comment you have made on here just a brief, vague interpretation of you're own views. You sad sad man. By the way that Gold was given back to the German people from whom the Jews stole it from My suggestion to you is stop being such a stupid ignorant cunt and read something other than British propaganda.
@Steve96461 I bet your grandfather worked in a Concentration Camp - the Nazi type - you're pro-Nazi too. I don't know whether you're Irish, German or American - I doubt even your mother knows, she's probably a cock whore. Or a Jew. Absolute Englishman, yes.. I save being a wanker to people like you. Racist, fascist, biased, easily beaten, quick to insult and slow to learn. You're one of the frequent nut jobs people hate, the troll type who has lots to say but nothing to contribute. Sheep. Baabah
@MarcusBritish |: That's you're biggest flaw. I was stating points of historical accuracy. You have being assuming i'm in the IRA, the Nazi's or a member of the Ku Kux Klan. I am just a guy that made a point. I have studied British, American & European history. All you know is how to dislike anything that isn't British. And if someone knows something you don't you start with the insults because that's all you know. And that's why I won this argument. I bet you've never been abroad. Ignorant!!
@Steve96461 You haven't "studied" anything - you've looked for things that support your own beliefs and theories, and dismiss anything else which goes against those beliefs. You're not a historian - you're a mistorian, you attempt to rewrite history, misdirect ideas and support beliefs that aim to abuse the course of history for political agendas. One doesn't have to go abroad to study history, because it's in the past and can't be touched no matter where you go. You couldn't win if you tried.
@MarcusBritish |: If you are going to continue to argue please think of you're own points. Do not reiterate my points of argument it makes you look stupid. I am going to prove this by making no further comments hence you will have nothing to say or counter. Good Night Vae Victis.
@Steve96461 Aren't you the one with the "Masters degree", or should I say "masterbation degree" if all you have achieved with it is typing a few comments on YouTube, whilst wanking with your left hand. YT won't pay your Study Loan back btw.. what's that, about €30k you owe the bank? Go get a job, useless arsehole. As for your claim to my reiteration - you copied all my remarks from the start - "loser", "propaganda" "uneducated". Shame on you Paddy. As for the British: Fuimus Erimus. Read & weep.
@MarcusBritish |: I'm going to call you Polly seeing has you repeat everything i say. Polly my British red Coat Parrot. Who is so far up his own arse i don't know where he starts or begins. Please take this as my last post as at the start of this i found you're blend of mindless ignorance mixed with antagonism and insecurity quite amusing. But i am bored and need something more stimulating. God Save the Queen & the Royal Family of England. which by the way are all Germans i'm sure you know.
@Steve96461 Aww "Polly" sweet, a girls name! Missing out on a girlfriend are ya? Give Polly a cracker and see if he sucks your little Irish bone? That your intention? Want to watch yourself - that's called "grooming" you dirty old pederast. *squalk*
The Spanish Guerillas could never have beaten the French Army - 600,000 French against a bunch of poorly co-ordinated civilians. It was Wellington who helped promote their efforts, paying them for captured despatches, to ambush French supply routes and disrupt French communications. You don't seem to applaud team efforts in wars - it's like the American method - every country fought for itself, there were no Allies, American won the war, all that egotistic bull shit; they try to rewrite history.
@MarcusBritish It is sometimes difficult to acknowledge, but you are right. The Great Reforms here in Russia began with the disgraceful defeat in the Crimean War. The blow dealt to Nicolas the first by the British and French armies was so sever that the Russian emperor died of shame (or so they said) shortly after that and his corporation of Russian state thieves and bureauc’RATs (ironically called the Russian Empire) crumbled like a cheap suit.
@SIGURDOYVIND I never find history hard to acknowledge or accept - once done it's done. We can feel proud or ashamed of what out forefathers did, right or wrong, but we don't have to carry the burden of guilty, responsibility or dishonour as long as we admit to it openly, than try to bury or deny it - eg holocaust denial. The best historians are unbiased and keep an open mind about everything. Something Americans find really hard to do, as well as most people in general, is to be unpatriotic.
In Russia Mr. Lilli-Putin also started a campaign against the so called distortion of the Russian history. Very funny indeed. Very patriotic! I guess soon we’ll get to know that Russia won all the wars, created the League of Nations and has been “ruling the waves” since the days of Moses. Putin is a very debilitating social disease.
@MarcusBritish Its interesting that you mentioned holocaust. There’s no point to deny it of course but I think it had been very well described in/by Amos together with the reasons thereof. Don’t you think so?
@SIGURDOYVIND I have no idea.. my first question would have to be, who's Amos? A Jew who witnessed the holocaust, or a denier of it? I've never actually read denier material - does one drink poison just to be sure it really is bad for you? Lol.. seriously though, holocaust denial is like a conspiracy theory, and I don't get into them all that much. Plus it would side with Mussie claims, and I loathe them, so I won't do anything to give them the slightest bit of support.
@MarcusBritish Amos was a Jew sheep farmer, or so the Tora says. He probably did not witness the holocaust but he certainly did hear the Lord promise it to the Jewish people. Amos told the Jews why they would be slaughtered by the Jewish God.
@MarcusBritish According to Amos the sins of the Jews are manifold and include pursuing their relatives with swords, ripping open pregnant women, selling the just man for silver and the poor for a pair of sandals, robbing the poor and trampling on their heads as upon the dust of the earth and denying justice to the oppressed, lying down beside the altars on garments taken in pledge and drinking wine, taken as fines, in the house of their God.
@MarcusBritish Amos also says he heard the Lord call the Jews enemies of the justice taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the courts of law; skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, selling even the sweepings with the wheat.
@MarcusBritish God had chosen Jews among all the families of the earth; to punish them for all their sins. Amos said he saw the Lord standing by the altar, saying: "Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Bring them down on the heads of all the people; those who are left I will kill with the sword. Not one will get away, none will escape”. And so He did obviously, albeit on this side of the grave we decided to call it holocaust, for some reason.
@SIGURDOYVIND I see. Well, as a typical heathen Brit I'm not into religion. I know scraps of the Bible, I've never read the Tora, I'd rather burn the Koran than look at it, and I'd abolish Religion outright given the chance. Not sure what to say about Amos.. was he real, or fictional? Was he sane? Is he story, which is some form of premonition, reliable or just as questionable as most religious stories? Usually I take these things with a pinch of salt. Religion is too unpredictable to believe.
Правительство призывало же остановить утечку умов...мой тебе совет не лезь за бугор...и тут на свою жопу и рот клиентуру найдешь.Мне лично тебя ласкового по чеснухе не будет хватать.
@MarcusBritish Wrong!! you are the ones who invented concentration camps and dont forget it, Imperial rule of the world you massacred millions for king and country, India, china on and on!!!
@Krylogenic Wrong? What is wrong is your ability to read. Perhaps you'd like to quote me what I said "wrong". Can you show where I specifically denied that we invented CCs before you type bull shit again. GTFOut of my sight, and quit trolling. Act your age.
@MarcusBritish retarded americanisms? get over yourself.
my comment was highlighting the inaccuracy in your comment, because actually the term 'concentration camp' was coined by the British as a result of the atrocities during the second Boer War, so in fact the British did bring concentration camps to the world.
@jimbostratus A concentration camp is just that - a place to concentrate people. You are implying that they are death camps, or work camps, which only the Nazis employed them as. The atrocities you speak of were due to poor administration - where were the mass executions, gas chambers, crematoriums? Those people died because they were not properly fed / not given medicine. This was the fault of the commanders. There was nobody killing them through murderous means. Only US retards think that. :)
@MarcusBritish so you think deliberate neglect is fine because they weren't gassing or shooting them? the fact still remains that the people died from potentially preventable causes, and the commanders didn't give a fuck. Aside from this, the remainder of Boer peasant farmers who resisted the spread of iron-fisted British Imperialism were shot as their farms were burned to the ground and their fields divided by barbed wire and pill boxes. The boer wars made Britain the world's most hated country
@jimbostratus So, why do you feel guilty? Did your great-great-grandfather do it? My grandfather shot Germans down with an AA gun in WW2 - should I feel angry that he killed German soldiers who weren't necessarily "evil"? Instead of looking at the results of the camps, ie deaths, look at the reasons. Why did they exist and why were they poorly run? Why were there no food supplies? Was the neglect intentional, or was there a cause? It beats reading you whine about people who are all long dead.
@MarcusBritish i don't know you, or anything about you. i don't want to be judgmental, but I just wanted to say that i cannot understand your blunt and uncaring attitude, it scares me a little. So i'm suggesting we don't bother carrying on because neither will understand the views of the other. Thankyou for the discussion.
@jimbostratus Suit yourself - I'm not "uncaring" by the way. I just look at historical things without too much bias. You have to bear in mind, that even if those people had not died in camps, they would still be dead by now. Would you we be talking about them if they died any other way? Even the Japs nuked in WW2 don't still hate Americans, so why should anyone hate Brits for the Boer War? You can't study history if you let it become emotional. Just as doctors can't be attached to patients. Cya.
@spudnick3490 firstly, calm down. secondly, i was referring to the fact that the phrase 'concentration camp' was first used by the British. In fact the idea of moving populations into concentrated areas as a method of control had been around long before the 1895 'cuban uprising' (Russian camps in Poland in the 18th century, for example) but had never before been called 'concentration camps'. sorry to have upset you.
The Russian camps in Poland had completely different reasons and methods...They were not concentration camps..And weren't on the scale anywhere near the Spanish camps in Cuba..
Yeah thats called bad administration dumbass..They could of done more..But it was a near impossibility because of bad administration...Aren't you reading this at all?
@spudnick3490 i don't care, i made half the shit up because it was funny watching reactions, i get bored because all i do is sit around on my arse while the government pays me money. yay me.
@spudnick3490 i would but i can't afford to leave because my benefits don't stretch that far, plus my criminal record means i am not allowed to travel to canada or the states and i can't stay more than three months in any european country. so HA.
@spudnick3490 actually there is a lot for me, i am currently reading economics at jesus college (that's in cambridge, btw) and i envisage a long and affluent life ahead of me. i have really enjoyed reading your reactions to what i have said, it has been hilarious. i know you won't believe me, and you'll come up with some reason why, but to be honest i don't give a fuck, because - put simply - i am better than you.
" I am better than you " Oh man! That is priceless
I know you are lying..And that you really have no life..But it's ok..
If you don't give a fuck then why are you here? Oh right..To get these supposedly "hilarious" reactions of mine..Plenty of spare time eh? strange how you find it hilarious when someone intellectually outsmarts you..
@spudnick3490 yeah i was lying, actually i am an astronaut, out here in space it gets all lonely and i just like to go on youtube and write some shit...dam you're clever for working out that i was lying...you sure did outsmart me mister...and btw i reckon i am still better than you, at least a little bit, wouldn't you say?
@spudnick3490 i spend my days watching a programme called 'shaun the sheep' occasionally taking a break to eat some toast and some raisins. that is, when the government hasn't assigned me to tag pregnant women with ankle bracelets so they can keep track of them, they pay handsomely. given that you now know the true nature of my working life, i would guess that you will agree that you are definitely not better than me. and you aren't alone, 84.7% of the world is not better than me. 6 hours...
@spudnick3490 oh and obviously you have not heard of Henry Campbell-Bannerman's speech in 1901, directed at the Conservative secretary of state for war, in which he made reference to the camps as 'methods of barbarism in South Africa'. The government knew full well the extent of Boer suffering and despite any nonsense they spouted that you believe, they could have done something about it. They just didn't because it was easier to let them die.
@MarcusBritish I am sorry but your account of British history leaves out the fact that British Imperialism did indeed bring death, destruction and concentration camps (hint the Boer Wars). So please, do not conceive of British Rule as something benevolent devoid of any human cruelty.
@Facade19 You don't know what you're talking about. Go do some original research, I'm bored of conversing with people who don't know history, only think they do.
@MarcusBritish I think it is precisely me doing some original research that I view things different from you. If by original you mean me agreeing with everything you say then this would run contrary to your own idea. Anyway, I am sorry that you felt insulted.
@Facade19 No, "original" means go read some good history books, journals, newspapers from and on the period and events you're commenting on with what I consider a lack of knowledge - you talk about concentration camps like they're all the same - like they're all Nazi extermination camps. FYI even the Native Reservations could be considered "concentration" camps, IF you understood the meaning of "concentration" without imposing stereotypical ideas from other events that don't relate at all to us.
@MarcusBritish Marcus, I by no means implied to compare the Nazi concentration camp to the Boers camp, but even some historians would argue that it could fit into that category. But my point being is that for you to suggest that your nation did nothing in wrong for you to boisterously proclaim that it brought reform and happiness to every human is anything but true. British imperialism brought much suffering and disaster. And that is just one example.
@Facade19 The Nazi camps tried to wipe out gays jews and what have you but,the British camps only was to make the Boer give up and lose the war.
here is a very big difference. And let's not talk about Americans pushing Natives out of their way and not giving them rights until the 70's.And that is one little example.
@ImperialGlory1920 I just love the fact that you are qualifying both events. Have you ever wondered what the Boers felt when those things were done to them? But of course not, since what the Nazis did was worse, it is less important to consider that. And yes, I think what my nation did to the natives is terrible, and I am glad you have spent considerable time describing it. Hopefully you will do the same considerations for the atrocities done by other nations, including the British.
@ImperialGlory1920 Maybe if we all cared a little more about one another, we would face less of racism and hatred. Just my opinion (and that of someone far more important).
@Facade19 I agree the British empire was the most evil thing that happened to humanity. Its unfortunate alot of my country men are blinded to the fact Britain murdered raped stole in record numbers.
Any historian who says that should be shot for their anti-British bullshit.
You seriously think they are ANYTHING like the Nazi death camps? What a load of shit. The British-Boer camps were set up to take women and children away from the fighting. But due to bad logistics, many died. They weren't designed to kill them. The fact is..Britain made the world what it is today. Half the bloody world is structured thanks to us.
"British imperialism brought much suffering and disaster. " Every form of imperialism causes this dumbass. It's the side affect. Every single empire has done this. The French did it even worse than us. Just look at the Congo and Algieria massacres. And it's always amusing when an American talks about imperialism. When America has done just this. Remember the thousands you killed when you wiped out the native Americans? Oh yeah! Remember now?
@spudnick3490 Ok how are about you read and think before you write, so to spare yourself embarrassment by displaying your lack of fortitude. 1) Read everything what I wrote, and what the people with whom I conversed with wrote. 2) Seriously, read everything. 3) Read EVERYTHING!!! 4) Did I say that British Imperialism caused suffering only? Where did I say that? Your interpretative skills are highly dubious and lacking, or rather your reading skills? Epic Fail!
@spudnick3490 Seriously, you call me bias? The moment you read my comments out of context, you automatically let your own bias take control of your judgment. Did I not admit that my country is doing similar things? Did I not cite British achievements. Seriously, you need to read the entirety of a person's comments in relation to the conversation he had with others. What you are doing is absolutely atrocious.
@kalianr360; Why not? The Murrikwans are at least three times as evil an empire as the Brits, and that is saying quite a good deal there, my good chap.

Almost 10 years later, Pickett's man would do a similar fool hardy charge (although infantry only) at a prepared defense.
I assure you, no army in the world can ever break a well prepared line, supported with artillery just by valiantly charging in a frontal assault.
Why? Its because the artillery can engage at long range and is extremely deadly at close range with canister shot that will tear apart anything in front of the gun.
Artillery is also called the king of the battlefield.

The Charge of the Light Brigade was a charge of British cavalry led by Lord Cardigan against Russian guns during the Battle of Balaclava on 25 October 1854 in the Crimean War. The poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, is world famous. The charge was the result of a miscommunication.

@ALDERMANOFFOUNTALL Also as regards to your point why the former colonies retained the customs and organizations.

@Steve96461 You might want to try reading one yourself - in 1880 Britain was formally known as "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" because you Paddy bastards were under our rule 100% and much of the British Army was Irish.

@Steve96461 Wellesley was Anglo-Irish, said so himself. I've read, and written, more about him than most British commanders. And the main reason more Irishmen joined the British Army in the 19th C. was to avoid poverty - Ireland was poor then, and the army had food, gin and was a paid job. Since then it became more of a fighting tradition and pride. And why not, the Redcoats were the best soldiers to ever exist wherever they were from - Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England.

@MarcusBritish |: That's you're biggest flaw. I was stating points of historical accuracy. You have being assuming i'm in the IRA, the Nazi's or a member of the Ku Kux Klan. I am just a guy that made a point. I have studied British, American & European history. All you know is how to dislike anything that isn't British. And if someone knows something you don't you start with the insults because that's all you know. And that's why I won this argument. I bet you've never been abroad. Ignorant!!

@Steve96461 You haven't "studied" anything - you've looked for things that support your own beliefs and theories, and dismiss anything else which goes against those beliefs. You're not a historian - you're a mistorian, you attempt to rewrite history, misdirect ideas and support beliefs that aim to abuse the course of history for political agendas. One doesn't have to go abroad to study history, because it's in the past and can't be touched no matter where you go. You couldn't win if you tried.

The Spanish Guerillas could never have beaten the French Army - 600,000 French against a bunch of poorly co-ordinated civilians. It was Wellington who helped promote their efforts, paying them for captured despatches, to ambush French supply routes and disrupt French communications. You don't seem to applaud team efforts in wars - it's like the American method - every country fought for itself, there were no Allies, American won the war, all that egotistic bull shit; they try to rewrite history.

@MarcusBritish It is sometimes difficult to acknowledge, but you are right. The Great Reforms here in Russia began with the disgraceful defeat in the Crimean War. The blow dealt to Nicolas the first by the British and French armies was so sever that the Russian emperor died of shame (or so they said) shortly after that and his corporation of Russian state thieves and bureauc’RATs (ironically called the Russian Empire) crumbled like a cheap suit.

@SIGURDOYVIND I never find history hard to acknowledge or accept - once done it's done. We can feel proud or ashamed of what out forefathers did, right or wrong, but we don't have to carry the burden of guilty, responsibility or dishonour as long as we admit to it openly, than try to bury or deny it - eg holocaust denial. The best historians are unbiased and keep an open mind about everything. Something Americans find really hard to do, as well as most people in general, is to be unpatriotic.

@MarcusBritish Thank you for your reply.
In Russia Mr. Lilli-Putin also started a campaign against the so called distortion of the Russian history. Very funny indeed. Very patriotic! I guess soon we’ll get to know that Russia won all the wars, created the League of Nations and has been “ruling the waves” since the days of Moses. Putin is a very debilitating social disease.

@MarcusBritish Its interesting that you mentioned holocaust. There’s no point to deny it of course but I think it had been very well described in/by Amos together with the reasons thereof. Don’t you think so?
SIGURDOYVIND 6 months ago
@SIGURDOYVIND I have no idea.. my first question would have to be, who's Amos? A Jew who witnessed the holocaust, or a denier of it? I've never actually read denier material - does one drink poison just to be sure it really is bad for you? Lol.. seriously though, holocaust denial is like a conspiracy theory, and I don't get into them all that much. Plus it would side with Mussie claims, and I loathe them, so I won't do anything to give them the slightest bit of support.
MarcusBritish 6 months ago
@MarcusBritish Amos was a Jew sheep farmer, or so the Tora says. He probably did not witness the holocaust but he certainly did hear the Lord promise it to the Jewish people. Amos told the Jews why they would be slaughtered by the Jewish God.
SIGURDOYVIND 6 months ago
@MarcusBritish According to Amos the sins of the Jews are manifold and include pursuing their relatives with swords, ripping open pregnant women, selling the just man for silver and the poor for a pair of sandals, robbing the poor and trampling on their heads as upon the dust of the earth and denying justice to the oppressed, lying down beside the altars on garments taken in pledge and drinking wine, taken as fines, in the house of their God.
SIGURDOYVIND 6 months ago
@MarcusBritish Amos also says he heard the Lord call the Jews enemies of the justice taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the courts of law; skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, selling even the sweepings with the wheat.
SIGURDOYVIND 6 months ago
@MarcusBritish God had chosen Jews among all the families of the earth; to punish them for all their sins. Amos said he saw the Lord standing by the altar, saying: "Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Bring them down on the heads of all the people; those who are left I will kill with the sword. Not one will get away, none will escape”. And so He did obviously, albeit on this side of the grave we decided to call it holocaust, for some reason.
SIGURDOYVIND 6 months ago
@SIGURDOYVIND I see. Well, as a typical heathen Brit I'm not into religion. I know scraps of the Bible, I've never read the Tora, I'd rather burn the Koran than look at it, and I'd abolish Religion outright given the chance. Not sure what to say about Amos.. was he real, or fictional? Was he sane? Is he story, which is some form of premonition, reliable or just as questionable as most religious stories? Usually I take these things with a pinch of salt. Religion is too unpredictable to believe.

MarcusBritish 6 months ago
@MarcusBritish retarded americanisms? get over yourself.
my comment was highlighting the inaccuracy in your comment, because actually the term 'concentration camp' was coined by the British as a result of the atrocities during the second Boer War, so in fact the British did bring concentration camps to the world.
jimbostratus 6 months ago
@jimbostratus A concentration camp is just that - a place to concentrate people. You are implying that they are death camps, or work camps, which only the Nazis employed them as. The atrocities you speak of were due to poor administration - where were the mass executions, gas chambers, crematoriums? Those people died because they were not properly fed / not given medicine. This was the fault of the commanders. There was nobody killing them through murderous means. Only US retards think that. :)
MarcusBritish 6 months ago
@MarcusBritish so you think deliberate neglect is fine because they weren't gassing or shooting them? the fact still remains that the people died from potentially preventable causes, and the commanders didn't give a fuck. Aside from this, the remainder of Boer peasant farmers who resisted the spread of iron-fisted British Imperialism were shot as their farms were burned to the ground and their fields divided by barbed wire and pill boxes. The boer wars made Britain the world's most hated country
jimbostratus 6 months ago
@jimbostratus So, why do you feel guilty? Did your great-great-grandfather do it? My grandfather shot Germans down with an AA gun in WW2 - should I feel angry that he killed German soldiers who weren't necessarily "evil"? Instead of looking at the results of the camps, ie deaths, look at the reasons. Why did they exist and why were they poorly run? Why were there no food supplies? Was the neglect intentional, or was there a cause? It beats reading you whine about people who are all long dead.

@MarcusBritish i don't know you, or anything about you. i don't want to be judgmental, but I just wanted to say that i cannot understand your blunt and uncaring attitude, it scares me a little.

jimbostratus 6 months ago
@jimbostratus Suit yourself - I'm not "uncaring" by the way. I just look at historical things without too much bias. You have to bear in mind, that even if those people had not died in camps, they would still be dead by now. Would you we be talking about them if they died any other way? Even the Japs nuked in WW2 don't still hate Americans, so why should anyone hate Brits for the Boer War? You can't study history if you let it become emotional. Just as doctors can't be attached to patients. Cya.

All the deaths were due to bad living conditions...Which WERE NOT deliberate..
spudnick3490 6 months ago
@spudnick3490 firstly, calm down. secondly, i was referring to the fact that the phrase 'concentration camp' was first used by the British. In fact the idea of moving populations into concentrated areas as a method of control had been around long before the 1895 'cuban uprising' (Russian camps in Poland in the 18th century, for example) but had never before been called 'concentration camps'. sorry to have upset you.

Ahhh...More bullshit..Well here we go..

@spudnick3490 oh and obviously you have not heard of Henry Campbell-Bannerman's speech in 1901, directed at the Conservative secretary of state for war, in which he made reference to the camps as 'methods of barbarism in South Africa'. The government knew full well the extent of Boer suffering and despite any nonsense they spouted that you believe, they could have done something about it. They just didn't because it was easier to let them die.

@MarcusBritish I am sorry but your account of British history leaves out the fact that British Imperialism did indeed bring death, destruction and concentration camps (hint the Boer Wars). So please, do not conceive of British Rule as something benevolent devoid of any human cruelty.

Facade19 5 months ago
@Facade19 No, "original" means go read some good history books, journals, newspapers from and on the period and events you're commenting on with what I consider a lack of knowledge - you talk about concentration camps like they're all the same - like they're all Nazi extermination camps. FYI even the Native Reservations could be considered "concentration" camps, IF you understood the meaning of "concentration" without imposing stereotypical ideas from other events that don't relate at all to us.
MarcusBritish 5 months ago
@MarcusBritish Marcus, I by no means implied to compare the Nazi concentration camp to the Boers camp, but even some historians would argue that it could fit into that category. But my point being is that for you to suggest that your nation did nothing in wrong for you to boisterously proclaim that it brought reform and happiness to every human is anything but true. British imperialism brought much suffering and disaster. And that is just one example.
Facade19 5 months ago 2
@Facade19 The Nazi camps tried to wipe out gays jews and what have you but,the British camps only was to make the Boer give up and lose the war.
here is a very big difference. And let's not talk about Americans pushing Natives out of their way and not giving them rights until the 70's.And that is one little example.
ImperialGlory1920 5 months ago
@ImperialGlory1920 I just love the fact that you are qualifying both events. Have you ever wondered what the Boers felt when those things were done to them? But of course not, since what the Nazis did was worse, it is less important to consider that. And yes, I think what my nation did to the natives is terrible, and I am glad you have spent considerable time describing it. Hopefully you will do the same considerations for the atrocities done by other nations, including the British.

"British imperialism brought much suffering and disaster. " Every form of imperialism causes this dumbass. It's the side affect. Every single empire has done this.
