  • 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.

  • @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.

  • @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

  • @esthai Trafalgar were the Royal navy pirates?

  • @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 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)

  • 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

    The consolation prize was Jamaica, an island much smaller without hardly garrison

  • pathetic

  • bahh this sucks man! spanish speaking, go learn some history dude haha but don't freak out ok? jajaja ridiculous..

  • and if i guide by the frenchs vids the frenchs won more battle, you now, in youtube it depends on who is the author of the video and where does he/she come from.

  • @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
