you know...dutch girls are beautiful. we got into a fight with germans because they couldn't handle the competition, it all ended when canadian freedom bringers came in and enriched u with freedom, germans got arrested and we got permit to settle in texel with our beautiful dutch fiancees, that's why half texel houses are owned by georgians.

clearly not the germans fucking rekt you lmao

that's what your grandfa said in 1940, after six weeks he was in concentration lager.

He tried to escape, failed, said "fuck it" and screwed Polish and German girls.

>>72582485
That was by far the worst embarrassment suffered by the Spanish military ever, regardless of what the eternal Anglo says about the Armada or Trafalgar. Annual paved the way for modern war, as we retaliated with aerial bombings on civilian populations (which would be replicated by the Japanese in China and then the Europeans in WW2) and a combined arms assault in Alhucemas - something that the world was scared to do since Gallipoli. Besides, Annual led to the Civil War that would define modern Spanish history.

>>72583186
It had literally no impact on Britain what so ever, other than the realisation that they needed to introduce health care because the working class where too malnourished to serve.
>>72583186
why aren't you taking boer refugees but taking blacks/arabs tho ? some literally immigrated georgia because you wouldn't accept them.

OH, you want to say that black and arabs see themselves as dutch and that's the reason you are taking them in ?
>>72583407
Then why the fuck did you bring it up. Autist.
The entire Texas Revolution was a colossal embarrassment for Mexico. They had no business whatsoever failing to put down the Texas rebellion.
>>72583466
no i'm saying they don't want to come here
among the shitskins there were also many other europeans but they fucked off home because they're not shit people

Georgian traitors, killing their German comrades while they were sleeping?

Genuine retard
>>72583535
when i was visiting netherlands every 2nd was literally arab/black.
dude you believe that they don't want to come there ? they are literally getting killed everyday they are so desperate to escape it that some immigrated to georgia lol, and actually lots join french legion just to run away from south africa. you don't accept them becuz your government only wants arabs probably.
quality oc for the thread
>>72583546
as i said it was embarassing for georgians, not because they joined nazis in teh first place and second place failing to defeat nazis, and in the third place for staying in netherlands and marrying ugly dutch girls.

actually you were dumb, forcing anti communists to fight americans, they are anti communists for reason lol you had to send them in eastern front not to defend your western front, they aren't your slaves you can't expect them to do your bidding they did the right thing to rebel, against arrogant german fgts

The retaking of the Falkland Islands was considered extremely difficult. The U.S. Navy considered a successful counter-invasion by the British "...a military impossibility."[53]Firstly, the British were significantly constrained by the disparity in deployable air cover.[54]The British had 42 aircraft (28Sea Harriersand 14Harrier GR.3s) available for air combat operations,[55]against approximately 122 serviceable jet fighters, of which about 50 were used asair superiority fightersand the remainder asstrike aircraft, inArgentina's air forces during the war.[56]Crucially, the British lackedairborne early warning and control(AEW) aircraft. Planning also considered the Argentine surface fleet and the threat posed byExocet-equipped vessels or the twoType 209submarines.[57]
>>72583998
many did after the fall of rhodesia
i've met a few south africans here and there, young ones too but they never seem to like it here because its so different from their homeland
>>72584118
WAIT, but in rhodesia there were british colonists not boers right ?
>>72583718
>second place failing to defeat nazis
Well, they were pretty good at killing sleeping comrades. At least they have that going for them.
Thank god nearly all of them were executed and the survivors send to gulag by the Russians.
>>72583877
Was a bit naiv anyways to use soviet POWs to fight for Germany.
>be Argentine

>>72584203

>>72584231
you get treated how you treat others, they aren't your slaves to send them 10k miles away from their home, most of those guys family were killed by commies, they want revenge and you send them in texel in literally nowhere. what you expect, i would do the same thing that's biggest bigotry by germans there.
>>72584253
can't believe that you lost some spear armed indonesians tho.
ez pizzy
Our military is the most overrated in history.
>>72584612
we didn't lose the battle there was immense political pressure on every country who still had colonies after ww2
>>72584612
>you get treated how you treat others
>take them out of POW camps (where big numbers of Russian starved to death)
>make them part of the regular army, threat them like normal soldiers
>give them food, cloth, weapons
>send them to a comfy island where they did not even have to fight
Proper reaction to this?
Kill your comrades in their sleep!
Kinda sad that some survived gulag.
>>72584591
Seriously?
>>72584873
why you cared tho why you agreed to free the colonies ? it was only a pressure they wouldn't have done anything.
>>72584904
oh that's how you think they were treated.
>taking pow's who probably didn't even put up a fight because they were anti communists as a soldiers in wehrmacht.
>they told them taht they want to join wehrmacht because they hate communists
>germans neglect *untermenschen's* desires and send them in texel
>they aer probably called untermenschs and are racially abused because they aren't germans
>after several months of abuse and misconductions they are still in texel and not in eastern front
>what could go wrong
i wouldn't fight for someone who treats me like a shit and makes me fight with people i have no quarrel with and pretty sure you wouldn't either, just because it's your people doesn't mean you were right.
>>72582399
We based
>>72582485
What the actual fuck spain?
>>72584926
because right after ww2 there was already a different threat and we could really use the USA on our side who at the time was the only one with nuclear capabilities
>>72584926
if it came to soviet invasion usa would help you anyway, or are you talking about another threat ?
>>72585079
>i wouldn't fight for someone who treats me like a shit and makes me fight with people i have no quarrel with and pretty sure you wouldn't either
Probably not.
But you know what I also would not do? Kill my fucking comrades in their sleep!
Good job killing the enemy of your enemy while getting killed/executed yourself. Way to fight your actual enemy. This way you really, really showed that evil Russians!
>>72584904
Literally nothing wrong with killing Germs though
>>72585653
would you call someone who call you untermensch and racially abuse comrades ? i don't think so they were overseers and they were obviously harsh. and let's not even joke about georgians getting good treatment from germans, stalin was georgian so georgians would be worst treated amongst other soviet turncloaks. and you should've sent them to russia not in netherlands telling u once more duh, there are no russians in texel now are they ?
>>72585125
We made the mistake of trusting Muslims. "Our" colonial soldiers, tasked with protecting retiring troops, murdered their commanders and ambushed the scared troops together with the enemy. Disorganisation as a result did the rest.
>>72585746

bahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaha
you believe that ?
and what else ? did you invite georgian legionaires to you homes and let them fuck your wives ?
stalin's countrymen weren't getting special treatment, understand that.
>>72586051

>>72585208

>>72582830

>>72586142
Pretty sure you know more than these authors. I for one do not since I was not there.
Anyways, what remains is that your soldiers back then were the worst kind of traitors and that they deserved their horrible end.
Best part is why they did it:
>From September 1943 to early February 1945 it was stationed at Zandvoort as part of the "Unterabschnitt Zandvoort".
>in late March 1945 for the transfer of several companies of the Georgian battalion to the Dutch mainland to oppose Allied advances, triggering the rebellion
>the rebellion hinged on an expected Allied landing—which did not occur.
So they just chilled on a comfy Dutch island with their German bros right untill they heard that the allies would come - which was when they shit their pants. To look good they started killing their comerads in their sleep in the hope that allies would soon come and see them as some kind of resistance an treat them good.
What disgusting people.
>>72586724
sorry i am having a hard time believing that stalin's countrymen were getting special treatment lol. it's just purely bullshit. and nobody would sacrifice himself for a foreign country what did you expect ? especially if that country treats them like animals. i myself wouldn't die for germany and you wouldn't die for georgia and guess what ? those ww2 *german bros* didn't care for georgia and wouldn't die for it either, stop your hollow bravado about loyalty and honour,. and stop making stereotypes of 800 turncloaks, there were total of 30k. i won't bother telling you germany lying to us throughotu history, nobody is a saint.
>>72587048
>and you wouldn't die for georgia and guess what ? those ww2 *german bros* didn't care for georgia and wouldn't die for it either,
Well, other perspective:
Of course I would not die for Georgia. But if for some strange reason the fight against my enemy (let's say Islam) would somehow bring me to Georgia which is the last stand in the war against it, I would fight there. I would not die for Georgia, but in Georgia for the greater good. What I would damn sure not do is to start killing Georgians right before the muslims come.
>>72587454
yeah but imagine you are sent to fight islam in georgia but, suddenly you find yourself fighting russians would you continue fighting people you have no quarrel with ? that's what happened to georgians in texel. islam was commies for them and russians americans.
>>72587597
Well, if I knew that for every day I could keep the Russians out the Georgians would kill thousands and thousands of islamic soldiers.... probably yes.
Away from that, even if I would not want to fight I would not go and kill my Georgian comerades in their sleep. I would wait for my chance and just surrender to the not-enemy, maybe killing all Gerorgians that try to block my way.
>>72588601
in your logic you would've acted like georgians did. because texel uprising happened in april may when third reich was literally no more and they were in no position of killing *millions of communists*

actually georgians were germanboos until you sold them to ottomans after that started mistrust to germans, so those soldiers didn't fully trust germans too.

I like that Aljubarrota was the decisive victory and always gets posted, but Valverde shows such a more valiant story:
>A portion of the Castilian army crossed the river and placed themselves on the opposite shore, while the rest remained where they were with the plan of surrounding the Portuguese while they crossed the river.
>Nuno Álvares Pereira then ordered his army to form a square with the baggage on the center, and impetuously crossed the Castilian forces, which attempted to oppose him. Upon reaching the river shore, Nuno Álvares Pereira ordered his rearguard to protect the baggage and fight the enemy, while with his vanguard he crossed over.
>The Castilian forces on the opposite shore, numbering about 10,000 men, unsuccessfully oppose their landing. After placing the Portuguese vanguard in position, defending the shore from the Castilians, Nuno Álvares Pereira again crossed the river to reach his rearguard, which was under a rain of arrows launched from the Castilian side.
>The Constable of Portugal noticing that the Castilians had used all of their projectiles, ordered an attack. Nuno Álvares Pereira himself, seeing the banner of the Grand Master of Santiago, fought his way through the Castilian army until encountering him, and after a brief duel, the Grand Master fell mortally wounded.
>With his fall and the overthrow of his standard, the Castilian army demoralized and was soon broken and in disorder, and could not stop the Portuguese attack, being quickly and totally defeated.
Nuno Álvares Pereira was a grade-A motherfucker.

He is definitely very much romanticised, but just about every country has had a brilliant general here and there (particularly small countries that weren't absorbed). It's more like if he hadn't done it, we wouldn't even be speaking Portuguese to this day, and something big must have happened for it, as the pressure at the time was very high.
That said, he was made into a noble because of that battle, so it must have impressed the King (D. João II) by that much, and he ended up being made into a saint later on.
A lot of the other naval battles are even harder to explain, because we notoriously lost all our documents/naval journals in 1755 and most of them had to be reconstructed from 2nd/3rd party sources.
