Lions led by donkeys. True or false?

this
people forget that britain was pretty much the only country in europe with a standing regular army. for example; they spent far more money on training and r&d in the years leading up to ww1 than austria-hungary, despite having about 1/6 as many men.
unfortunately the officers were all retards obsessed with cavalry charges and pitched battles.
the navy wasn't much better, it may have been the best in the world but again the officers all wanted another trafalgar
unfortunately

We win all the important ones.

>implying the leaders of the easter rising thought they would win after the aud was sunk
that wasn't the point. they knew they were going to lose. pearse (correctly) predicted that he and the other signatories would become martyrs and their deaths would inspire another bigger, more successful revolt sooner or later

>insulting over 800,000 dead people because le ebin anglo meme

>blenheim
the war of spanish succession was a French victory, they put a bourbon king on the spanish throne to this day, despite eternal anglo with half of europe on their side ganging up on france alone.

>quebec
outnumbered the french 2 to 1 with regular armies against the french defender composed of colonial militia and natives

>waterloo
the british army did literally nothing, it was blucher and the prussian who won the battle.

only good anglo is a dead anglo

Most of the entente breakthroughs were by Canadian and Australian troops during the battle of the Somme despite having far less people and experience on hand

Aussie troops were all 6.6 and fucking beasts tho desu, comes with being volunteers.

the colonial troops are alright, the british was fucking pathetic though

False, Haig was a pretty good general.

I'd also attribute it to John Monash

>they're shit at battles
>they won this one tho
>I was talking about wars
In the long run it bankrupted Spain and France so who really won
>literally Prussia
Wow

False
They walked to the front lines under the impression the counter attack would be fierce
Most memes about ww1 are just memes

Yeah just like no god, no country, no responsibilities man
>be Irish
>independence has been debated in parliament for a long time
>have had representation in this parliament for a long time
>german aggression sidelined you in Parliament
>still side with Germans
Really activates the almonds >muh Cavalry
But this is literally humane war as it means you get them in a surrendering position sooner thus saving life, not their fault the Germans wanted the death of the French for nothing

>>What is El Alamein 1942
2 rusty Bf 109s and 5 PzIV running on olive oil after marching through whole Africa vs. the whole might of the british empire

Bump

Isn't the meme about the British Army that they lose every battle except the one that wins the war?

Whats with Anglophobia and this board

>Bongs did nothing at Waterloo, it was all the Prussians.

Krauts didn't show up until the final push, the old guard had broken and Nappy was shitting him self when the 50,000 angry Prussians showed up.

Francaboos and Catholics are quite high in numbers here. Either one or both at the same time.

Francaboos mad that their republic imploded into a shit storm continuously since the destruction of the French monarchy.

Catholics mad cause Prods ousted shit-tier Catholic kings and told their pope to fuck off.

Also being the most successful modern empire tends to make people jealous.

It's completely and wholly false, even insulting. British officers died at much higher casualty rates than privates, they were the first over the top and they were expected to charge objectives with not much more than a Mauser and a sword. Some of the public schools lost four out of every five of their graduates by the end of the war. They were already commissioning heavily from the ranks and using so-called "temporary gentlemen" by 1915.

This board thinks it's "enlightened" because it swapped le jooz did everything for le eternal anglo
