How the fuck could we possibly know that?

But probably not, not many people won against Rome.

>>2585062
What did her generals say? Who even were her generals?

She didn't have any generals, she barely had any soldiers.

People point to the Battle of Watling Street as some kind of momentous Roman victory but they were professional soldiers fighting regular joes who probably didn't even own a weapon.

She didn't have any. That was sort of the whole point. There were no generals, no soldiers.

To be fair burning down notLondon and her shenanigans made fucking NERO of all people to call for cool heads and sent people to sort things out without further bloodshed.

>>2585062
No. Defeat was utterly inevitable.

The iceni still had their warriors, you fucking mongoloid.

No it wasn't. She had them out numbered.

All she had to do was not rush them headlong, the thing the Roman Army was made to take on handily.

If the history is accurate, she may have been completely retarded

she could have won if she flanked them.

Instead she told them all to just charge right into the meatgrinder and they got grinded.

Nothing is set in stone or "inevitable" in history, in all likelihood the Romans got really lucky, that's itm

The battlefield was specifically chosen by the Romans to force a head on confrontation.

They could have gone into literally the rest of Britain.

>>2585653
For most of this period Britain was full of marshes and forests.

The endless green fields were a later addition, ancient Britain was like ancient Germany and France.

The Roman agricultural systems spread to these regions (Britain and France) leading to massive deforestation and draining of swamps.

Germany remained a shit hole for much longer because muh Arminius.

They would have had a better chance if her generals actually listened to her. Celts "leaders" were all trash and threw away any initiative they had by opting for pitched fights against the strongest military in the world instead of raiding/guerilla warfare like she seemed intent on doing. Exact same shit fucked over Arminius when the Romans went back into Germany looking for revenge.

>>2585062
Boudica is nothing and nobody, a name pulled out of the bag of history to lend support to idea of great woman leader for sake of Queen Victoria

>>2585062
dude, she was making strategic decisions with witchcraft. to determine where she should attack she dropped a rabbit out of her skirt and they marched in the direction of the rabbit.

Was she hot?
Was Joan of Arc hot?

That's all I wanna know.
