>Siege of Badajoz What the fuck was their problem?

We are talking about an empire that took pride in defeating spear chuckers here.

What is the problem here?
The losses? It's a fucking siege, and Wellington chose to storm. The losses were par for the course.
The civilians? Well fuck it's hard to stop storming troops from sacking the city anon.

>claim to be there to liberate Spanish from the French
>rape and murder the civilians of a town you allegedly came to free

Trust the Anglos, feel the pain. Best part is after Spain "won" the peninsular campaign, they realised the King they fought hard to keep was the worst fucking King they ever had and tried to get rid of him immediately so they could win back freedoms that French would give them with no fight. Not to mention Spain lost all its colonies trying to defeat the French instead of just accepting Joseph.

The most JUST country ever.

Except it's the only occurence of such a shitshow in the entire Napoopan Wars

>Enraged at the huge amount of casualties they suffered in seizing the city, the troops broke into houses and stores consuming vast quantities of liquor with many of them then going on a rampage.

>Threatening their officers and ignoring their commands to desist, and even killing several,[3] the troops massacred about 4,000 Spanish civilians. It took three days before the men were brought back into order.

>The wanton sacking of Badajoz has been noted by many historians as a particularly atrocious conduct committed by the British Army: many homes were broken into, property vandalized or stolen, Spanish civilians of all ages and backgrounds killed or raped, and many officers were also shot by the men they were trying to bring to order.[3

Didn't the brits go full retard after Vitoria too? And the french in Porto?
I mean it might have been a particularly bloody sack, but certainly not the only one. The assault being sheer butchery sure didn't put the brits in a peaceful mood either.

Wow, 4,800 casualties!!!
Meanwhile, Russians managed to remain civilized after losing 18,000 men

And nothing of value was lost.

>>1686955
Are you being retarded on purpose? A fortress assault and a battle don't compare at all.

>>1686937
Also the same king, despite being an absolutist conservative, changed for no reason an ancestral successory law so her infant daughter and her liberal advisors could rule the nation instead of his absolutist conservative brother. This caused three civil wars.

>>1686955
Because french women are so cock hungry, they spread their legs for everyone even without using violence.
