    Judging by the colour of the ground and the uniforms of the troops, I'd say the battle was fought in the winter.

    Not Germany. Yes, the battle was fought in December.

    Battle of a political movement. Big Hint: Despite the blue/gray uniforms, the regulars are Queen Victoria's soldiers.

    Crimean war ?
    The US will gladly step up to become the world police when there is oil involved, yet they will resign the second there is a genocide in Africa, a slaughter in an allied nation, or a massacre committed by dictators, all who's nations have nothing to offer, but the gratitude of the people to the international community for reaching out.

    Nope, pre-Crimean War, battle of a political rebellion (updated hint).

    Hmm, another battle from the First Carlist War perhaps Battle of Oriamendi?

    Ohh scratch that, the Battle of Saint-Eustache during the Lower Canada Rebellion?

    Edit: Haha, yes. Good Job. I didn't want to give-away that it wasn't in Europe. My next hint was going to be American sympathizers intervened in this war.

    Rep and turn. *Can't rep right now due to historical figure thread. I'll remember. Unless someone will please to rep you now.

    Speaking of- I'm still owed a rep from historical figure thread. Not that it's a big deal.

    Yes, that is correct. I didn't notice your edit. I edited my post as well.

    Sorry about the modifications to this painting. It is getting harder and harder to beat google's damn algorythm. It's impressive how good that thing is getting but also very annoying.

    Processing: 13th century, eastern-Europe, probably not the Northern Crusades. Victors greeting each other. Battle on the Marchfeld. Good choice.

    As always you are right.

    You have solved everything I posted lately. I am not allowed to give you more rep. Could somebody else give Daver his well deserved reward? Thanks.
