All Turks are warleaders due to the ancestral memory of being Mongols. They only need a trigger to activate the power within.

If it wasn't for their absolutely arab-tier performance during WW2 France would be the one of the few countries with impeccable military history.

It's such a shame that all this heritage was flushed down the shitter because some cocksuckers were too busy munching on baguettes to intervene.

Paris was occupied by foreign armies in 1814, 1815, 1871 and 1940. They went downhill long before WW2.

>When Cecil landed his forces, they realised that they had no food or drink with them. Cecil then made the foolish decision to allow the men to drink from the wine vats found in the local houses. A wave of drunkenness ensued, with few or none of Cecil's force remaining sober. Realizing what he had done, Cecil took the only course left open to him, and ordered that the men return to their ships and retreat.

>When the Spanish army arrived, they found over 1,000 English soldiers still drunk: although every man was armed, not a single shot was fired as the Spanish put them all to the sword.

It's funny how they adressed each other with politness while anons use those battles to troll each other. Like when Nelson was defeated in Canary Islands and the spaniards let him use some spanish ships to return his crew to England. Even later Nelson sent cheese to the spanish leader of that battle as a present.

There's loads of that during the Peninsular War too. This article is good:

>If you thought Brits in Spain behaved badly mainly on the beaches of Benidorm, think again. British troops, described by Wellington himself as ‘the scum of the earth’, massacred and raped the inhabitants of Badajoz and set fire to San Sebastián, destroying most of the old city. You don’t find many memorials to Wellington in Spain, though he is arguably one of the country’s greatest benefactors. And he behaved with exemplary honour — a story surprisingly left out by Courtauld — when he offered to return the paintings, including four by Velázquez, pillaged from the Royal Palace in Madrid by Joseph Bonaparte, which he captured after the battle of Vitoria. His offer was refused, with grateful thanks, and the paintings now hang in Apsley House.

>The one British general who is remembered fondly in Spain is Sir John Moore, who led the long retreat to La Coruña in 1809 and was mortally wounded while presiding over a Dunkirk-style evacuation. Maybe the Spanish share our own taste for gallant losers (though Napoleon himself acknowledged that Moore’s skilful retreat had played a key part in the eventual French defeat). Moore is celebrated in a remarkable elegy by the Galician poet Rosalía de Castro. One of the most touching moments in the whole book is the description of the beautiful garden — the Jardín de San Carlos — devoted to Moore’s memory in La Coruña.

The battle of Krasny Bor allowed the nazis to maintain the siege of Leningrad for almost another year. I'd say is relevant enough.

>>67323320
The senior military class of that time had more in common with their foreign (including enemy) colleagues than with the men they led into battle, and they developed mutual respect because they were often present in the battlefield and often the fighting (sometimes being killed in battle like Moore, Nelson, etc)
