How can one country be so consistently terrible at warfare?

Contrary to what all your history teachers probably told you, the Brits did all the work.

The only thing that map proves is that Portugal didn't manage to get totally wrecked twice within a decade. Good job, that's *slightly* better than Austria.
France is such a great country, holy shit. I'm so glad that I've learned French.

This is powerfully, phenomenally rich coming from the country that believes the French were just sidekicks in their war of independence.

What, you don't self-identify as your country ?
>>76958359
No, they didn't. Also, of those Brits that did fight, many settled in Canada and are the direct ancestors of Canadians. Still, there were some very impressive martial feats by the voltigeurs, new brunswick infantry of foot, et al., all Canadian born. Many successful Canadian militiamen during the war were also originally born in the USA.
