El Cid

"what happened crusaderss hundred thousands of cristians?? ",What do you mean?,write clearly please!!
The fall of Constantinople in 1453,had nothing to do with the crusades or el Cid.Jerusalem?? we took the city in 1099,and then in 1229.Manzikert was before the first crusade,don´t mix up difefrent things!!

If you want to talk about wars and battles in general,I recommend you to search the battles of Lepanto,Vienna(1529 and 1683),the siege of Malta,battle of Arsuf,battle of Jaffa....

@1999521 ahhah what happened crusaderss hundred thousands of cristians?? or 1453 in constantinople or jerusalem or etcc..... or 1071 menzikert

mel gibson should make a movie for El Cid :)
it would definetly be epic but he would never do it because there are no english to kill ::(

BATTLE OF TOURS(732):Franks:30,000 men,muslims:80.000(highest estimate). FRANKISH VICTORY

BATTLE OF LAS NAVAS DE TOLOSA(1212):
Christians(OVERWHELMINGLY SPANISH):50.000 men,up to 70.000.Muslims:125.000,up to 200.000.
CHRISTIAN VICTORY.
See the numbers? we did our part very well.Then in the 16th century you betrayed the memory of Charles Martel by helping the turks,against the Spanish.We won the BATTLE OF LEPANTO without your help.

As I already said,spanish were in a harder situation,because only the strait of Gibraltar separed them from the muslims.France was in a much better position.Many great invasions from the almoravids and the almohads were sttoped by Spain in the middle ages.I´M NOT ATTACKING CHARLES MARTEL,MARTEL IS ONE OF MY HEROES,BUT EL CID WAS ALSO GREAT,AND HE DID MANY GREAT THINGS FROM A WEAKER POSITION,AND FACING THE OPPOSITION OF HIS KING.

HESTON THE CID!

spaniards discovered america? More like a genoese explorer and what killed native americans? spanish diseases and native allies? BTW you never expelled the visigoths, the moors came and took spain from them. moors expelled in France in one battle in 732, moors "expelled" in spain after 700 + years of conquest in 1492, see the difference.

u have no business in this video french raghead

Columbus was working for the spanish crown.The ships and the crew were mostly spanish.The same with Magellan.According yo your reasoning,it was Austria that conquered France in WWII,because Hitler was austrian,That´s nonsense.Diseases were good help,but many hard battles were fought and won in order to conquer the continent.And the natives were nothing without the leadership of the spanish.And for example the spanish had to fight the tlaxcaltecs before becoming allies.

Since the roman empire, France had been an independent nation, when was spain ever independent? Conquered by romans 300 + years, visigoths over 300 years, moors over 700 years, and France nearly 100 years. All yeah and northern spain was part of the Frankish empire also. Charlemagne crowned emperor of rome, muslims expelled in 732 AD at Poitiers rahman killed, visigothic king killed and visigoths expelled by only 200 Frenchmen, see the difference?
