    Blas the Lezo and Spain fight vs Great Britain en Jenkins' Ear War, and in Cartagena de Indias battle, with only 3000 soldiers, 600 indians archers and 6 ships won 24000 english soldiers, 4000 recruits of Virginia and 186 ships. The British army was the second most naval army in history (most than Invincible Spanish Army), and it was destroyed for Spain with 3000 soldiers, 600 indians archers and only 6 ships.

    He was a truly remarkable man, truth be told. A pitty he ended up so badly.
    Read a napoleonic first hand account of a Hessian serving under the french flag

    Athenians: For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretenses - either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed;.......... since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.

    Thomas Cochrane didn't won the second most british army in world and history with only 3600 mens and 6 ships, Blas de Lezo yes, and he never lost a battle^^

    In Great Britaint there aren't some books about Blas de Lezo, the War of Jenkins Ear or the Battle of Cartagena de Indias, there aren't books about the TRUE!

    Well we could have a interesting discussion on it but you seem to want to forego that in favour of exercising a nationalist hard-on. I could just list all our Naval victories over spain but I'd be here all day.

    Incidently I'm still waiting as to which history books you were refering to.

    How many years british dominated sea? Only 100 years

    Spain 300 years ^^

    Aguila, Contreras, Blas de Lezo, Sanchez de Donlebun, Menendez de Aviles, Duque de Osuna owns Hwakins, Drake Vernon o Nelson (Nelson lost 2 o 3 battles vs Spain in Canarias)

    Spain owns Great Britain ^^, well, Spaind and USA and France, everyone owns Great Britain ^^

    I'm refering to History English books, they don't talk about Blas de Lezo and the Battle of Cartagena de Indias.

    Spain has never 'owned Great Britain'. Ever. I'm convinced you are an alt anyway so this is pointless.
