You lot were literally smurfing in bronze lobbies in Mexico and South America. Toledo swords vs wooden spears.
Pretty sure some ‘battles’ were like 100 Spaniards vs thousands of Aztecs
(you’re still not getting Gibraltar back pal)
History should prove barry right in his approach.
Also, you got balls to fucking talk shit about not conquering europe, but going for the rest, when you where the one who had the pope draw a line splitting the world between you and Poortugal
Imagine being conquered by yourself and having 36 years of self imposed facism as your reward.
Hahaha yeah fuck Barry
Wait what
Pipe down, son. We’ve conquered Benidorm, Magaluf and Ibiza for a start and now we’ve got the residents of Barcelona crying. Madrid next.
Explain how you conquered europe lol
Can’t even conquer your whole country. How many separatist movement have you got on the iberian peninsula known as “mostly, but not entirely spain”, these days?
Pfff we conquered a bit of France after they conquered us, then we had a few arguments about who owned what, gave it back and now we’re best mates. Might wanna go sit down and have another siesta amigo 🥰
Tell me again about the armada?
Actually Britain deliberately avoided the expansion of its influence in Europe.

“England appeared at Vienna with all the glamour which she owned to her immense successes, to the eminent part which she had played in the Coalition, to her limitless influences, to a solid basis of prosperity and power such as no other country has acquired in our days—in fact to the respect and fear which she inspired and which affected her relations with all the other Governments. Profiting by this, England could have imposed her will upon Europe, England renounced this noble privilege, Lord Castlereagh took up a neutral attitude which was often surprising; being in the position to become the arbiter of Europe, he only afforded her weak and partial assistance. This without question was the main cause of the unsatisfactory results of the Congress”
Gentz failed to understand how any country, possessed of dominant power, could fail to use it for her own purposes; he could not understand that England was unwilling to assume any undue responsibility for Europe and desired only that the continental nations should settle their own affairs reasonably as between themselves….

Uh Pedro…. You did the exact same thing.
Tell me, what is the existence of Portugal, if not a monument to your complete and utter failure?
I spy a dumb Yankoid ‘Bri’ish teef’ joke.
And we all did this, we just did it the most.
And we literally still have Gibraltar, Pedro. And had Menorca a while.
Add pieces of France, plus Cyprus, Malta, the Ionian islands, arguably NW Germany and a quarter of Austria… and liberated some others…
Savage-level failed meme.
Yeah.
So how is that different to any of you?
Didn’t we do the same?
Pedro, stfu and get me my drink. Also where in europe did you conquer? I’ll wait. Smallpox merchants.
Maybe the French have an argument but yet again le perfide albion fucked them hard and destroyed any chance of invasion. Plus they also only stole land off some Sahel morons
Isn’t this exactly what y’all did too? Lol
How did that Spanish Armada go Pedro?
I mean, yeah. We were a naval power. What do you expect?
Why take existing rich country when can make our own? Big brain time.
Coming from a Spaniard
Literally exactly what Spain and France did
Una cerveza por favor
Anglo-saxon pragmatism
>Minister, Britain has had the same foreign policy objective for at least the last 500 years: to create a disunited Europe. In that cause we have fought with the Dutch against the Spanish, with the Germans against the French, with the French and Italians against the Germans, and with the French against the Germans and Italians. Divide and rule, you see. Why should we change now, when it’s worked so well?
Landlubber ape mentality. We never wanted to conquer Europe. While you were feeding your people into pointless meatgrinder wars we were cultivating sea power. You can’t become a sea power without a skilled workforce, a meritocratic society, and a high level of political organisation. In the process, you become better human beings and abandon caveman dreams of territorial conquest for its own sake. Continentals are all apes who belong in the zoo. “Winning” a continental war doesn’t make you any less ape-like, and neither does larping as Romans (the original apes).

Also, no Gibraltar?
I assume your referring to France in the 1940s?
You don’t even own all your own land
What’s the story behind Gibraltar?
That’s soldiering
