We have finished the hard work, now we are in retirement
Britain went from gigantic global empire based on enslaving and killing people to somehow rehabilitating its image in WW1 and WW2, to being a fairly mid comfort nation in Europe that still plays a relatively important role.
Spain went from the same start point to self-imposed fascism to 30 years of scabbing off the EU and generally not mattering or contributing anywhere other than being the choice low income holiday destination.
Pedro’s got this wrapped-up I’d say.
Jesus christ you guys are OBSESED with us. Salty that your sea empire is barely remembered?
Pedro then: reconquers iberia from near total defeat, conquers entire continent, is a great power for centuries
Pedro now: help, tourists too loud
i dont think many people even remember you had an empire geert
Check how many people “speak” your language and how many speak theirs, besides, it’s not like you are doing massively better economically.
You forgot about Greece, arguably the biggest downfall in human history. Went from the cradle of civilisation to balkan-style cavemen republic
At least we are not a fictional country
What is always funny to me is that this picture was taken in Israel.
Not even Latinos are as obsessed with us as much you all swamps do
That’s a rookie downfall, gotta take example on Mongols and work harder on that fall
The same goes for Portugal btw, and even more symbolic. They were on top for a while, the OG, the first European global power. Now, they’re Eastern Europe according to all maps
That’s not an iberian pork. That’s a wild Dutch breed who got loose for 10 days in Ibiza.
You can be still be a province again if you want.
If only spanish ladies were that cute. What a furry cutie pie!
who’s the 3rd ? Portugal ? Greece ? Italy ?
Éh ben voilà. Mtn j’ai faim.
Clearly you’ve never heard of Greece
First we conquest, then we have a lil rest. Not seeing the problem here
That is cheap even for a dutch 🥲
We leave at the top.
Spanish is also the fourth most spoken language in the world.
Still salty for the surrender of Breda omg get over it.
Spain used up all their energy on colonising the americas. Now they slumber and save energy for the mars colonisation.
The Armchair Historian mentioned
Come on, OP, you thief. I mean… you Dutch. Do you still have Tercios nightmares? Poor kleine jongen from a conquered land….
Cortez’s expedtion ran on bacon and he brought pigs to Mexico, so they still have the logistics sorted out.
The second pic could be Rome. Must be Rome.
When people talk about British hegemony, really it can only be said to have lasted from Waterloo in 1815 to the start of the Great War in 1914. For much of our history we were a regional power and then increasing in dominance from about 1750. British power really taking off because of Britain benefiting as the first power to enter the industrial revolution circa 1760. In flux between the world wars, overstretched because of imperial commitments and needing to govern across the globe. Political upheaval at home. Britain entered decline post-second world war. Humiliated by our last foray in imperial adventure at Suez. Look at the collapse of the industrial productivity of many northern towns. We’ve become a vassal state to the United States, reliant on American businesses and US firms buying up our industries. Other countries too have bought our industries. We may as well put up a for sale sign at the border.
So peaceful
A pig rolling in shit sounds like a win win situation, now being a protestant not so much
Hendrik is just mad because they got dominated by that sleeping pig 🙂
I’m not big into colonialism but what language do you attempt to speak? I’d say we won and no other European country comes close.
Not bad for a tiny shitty Island with terrible weather. What’s the Dutch excuse?
That pig is our last defense against certain type of people
If we’re talking about biggest downfalls in history we are second to none. We went from an empire which won countless wars, to an amalgamation of little countries, to a unified country which only managed to defeat Libya, the Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary and Ethiopia by it’s own (so either underdeveloped countries or empires which were already about to collapse).
Even the ham gets a siesta, that’s quality of life !!

Pedro then: stressed out. Having to fight every single one of his neighbours.
Pedro now: calm and rested. Living a peaceful life knowing thar his neighbours come here every vacation to get scammed and spend all their money.
They found everything on the map so they’re properly retired. Good for them! Felicidades primos!
