We helped them create it by giving them tea.

Feels good to be on the winning team, even if you don't make it until the end of the game.

>Politically, the raid was disastrous for King Charles' war plans[1] and led to a quick end to the war and a favourable peace for the Dutch. It was one of the worst defeats in the Royal Navy's history,[1] and one of the worst suffered by the British military.[6] Horace George Franks called it the "most serious defeat it has ever had in its home waters."

We invaded them and laid the foundations of modern day Britain

Italia no es Roma
Alemania no es el Sacro Imperio Romano

>>65435598
No when did they. Because the Irish only got a treaty that gave them home rule like Australia

>>65435688
Never.

We fought a war and gained independence
The rest is just pedantic details

Kicking English asses is our favorite hobby but British asses...not the same thing.

>>65435807
Home rule want independence. You guys fought a civil war over whether or not to continue fighting

>>65435807
Youre missing out the civil war you had instantly after

But we did.

Thanks mate.

hello perfidous

>>65436036
Sissy Westbrit bois wanted to remain culturally and economically linked to Britain, others wanted to aggressively pursue gaelic culture. We reached something of a compromise after the civil war

>>65436608
that was banter?

Britain was an empire in 1812, wasn't it?

Though that was more of a white peace instead of a win. Stupid meme war

>>65437808
But america lost 1812 and we all forgot about it except americans

Close but a glorious defeat and martyrdom is nothing to be ashamed of.

>>65437372
That's some pretty high casualties for a colonial war
You think I would have heard about this.

Eternal rivals since day one. Has anyone ever kept scores of how many wars we won and lost against the Britsh ?

>>65437942
Yeah, we provided them with weapons, supplies, cash, then with men, and most importantly, with a decent navy.

Before our formal entry in the war, you guys had undisputed control of the sea, so the British army was always decently supplied, and could always retreat to the nearest port in case of defeat, put the men on the boat, then reappear a bit up or down the coast.

>>65438016
If you consider that it started with the start of English colonisation in the late 16th century, or with the Act of Union in 1707, then France, Spain, the Netherlands, Afghanistan. Other countries put up a good fight, but as far as I know didn't outright win. And even with Afghanistan it's disputable. There might be others that I don't know about, though.

>>65436851
oh please, we're literally west britian and the differences in culture are small but blown massively out of proportion by politicians and the likes because they know it scores easy votes

>>65439019
when the whole world cared about france, not anymore

Thats because most casualties come from this battle, that was literally erased from British history.

The British, after seeing how much larger their army was, were totally convinced that they would win, and Vernon decided to send a letter to his king about their victory.

The British made some conmemorative coins and some rumours say that even the Rule Britannia was made in conmemoration for this victoy.

After hearing about their defeat, king George II banned writing about this battle and got rid of the coins.
