  • @Thrashgu I love it.I think it is very funny that King George II tried to hide this defeat from the world.It was a humiliating defeat,but hiding it just makes it worse.Thanks for the information,I will be looking them up.

  • You like it. There are hundreds of these small anecdotes in our history, you can search for the sack of cornwall, a punishment incursion in british territory (1595) after the fall of the Gran Armada... and another episodes like the "spanish fury" in Amberes (1576)

see all

  • @HerrOttoKranz yo creo que lo de los ingleses va más alla de que hayan sido o no recientemente 1 potencia mundial no es que omitan una parte de la historia es que la adulteran que es lo grave. Yo creo que todo esto viene de muy atras con la leyenda negra que crearon los ingleses en contra de España se puede observar bien y x lo visto perdura en la actualidad. Saludos

  • @alberto36624 No, no, yo soy español, español, español... Pero gracias, me siento halagado :)

    Lo de los ingleses hay que tomárselo con cierta filosofía. Ten en cuenta que su orgullo imperial aún está muy fresco, hace justo cien años, en 1912, eran la primera potencia y gobernaban un cuarto del globo. Pero desde el respeto a un gran país como es el Reino Unido yo no cesaré nunca de defender los méritos españoles, que son muchos e infinitamente más desconocidos. Lo cortés no quita lo valiente.

  • @HerrOttoKranz wau si eres ingles solo puedo aplaudir. Es de las pocas veces que veo a un ingles ser objetivo y respetuoso con la historia universal despues de ver las peliculas que sacan ( isabel I la edad de oro ) para que decir más.

    PD : Podria contestarte en ingles pero dado el tema que se trata no lo hare por razones obvias. No te lo tomes a ofensa es que simplemente no considero que el ingles este por encima del castellano.

    Saludos y de nuevo felicito tu parcialidad

  • Even considering that many British soldiers died from disease, the final outcome was still a resounding victory for Spain. End of.

  • Thank you, our heroes can't be forgotten

  • @LordGeorgeRodney You can go to the channel of tercioss and shout your shit there, you and him are the same.

  • @LordGeorgeRodney Sorry i don't respond to trolls or extreme nationalists of any ccountry

  • @OurOxygen Yes indeed some lessons were learned

    But the losses to French Spanish & English in the Haiti campaign were much much larger in comparison..
