britain is the eternal second best, always teaming up with whoever is fighting the best. Nice gig they've had going desu

>>2543353
Then why were they the largest economy for nearly a 100 years?

>>2543353
>always teaming up with whoever is fighting the best
Opposite, actually. In order to maintain a power balance in europe the british often helped the other side, to maintain the balance, in the napoleonic wars for example.

>>2543265
>and two of the most powerful nations in Europe but let's neglect to mention that

>brits beating anyone but spearchuckers without allies

Most overrated military in the history of the world.

You can literally smell the jelly in the post.

>>2543492
This.

Britain may have been more industrialized, wealthy, politically stable, and controlled global trade, but the other powers were better because they had revolutions and wars which briefly changed things in Europe.

But Lions aren't even indigenous to Europe???

>>2543701
It makes sense, the British do have a habit of just taking things from other countries.

Always with proper documentation though.

>Righteous Anglo Fighters.

>>2543492

That's not anywhere near accurate, we've gotten the best of the Frog, the Dane, the Ivan, the Fritz, the Italian (arguably that last one is a spear-chucker to be sure), and many more I'd expect that are so insignificant I can't think to recount them for this correction.

>>2543728

Stop this shit immediately.

>>2543776
what farmers are we talking about

>>2543826

Have to make sure it's all above board now.

No one wants to be a Fritz.

Britain is like a woman in her seventies: a glorious past with no future.

>>2544924

if that is so, then Europe is a frankenstein corpse
