Stop getting your history from me memes.
Missing 1940 Battle of Britain vs Germany, probably the one I was taught most about.
These 10% (the longbowmen) did most of the job tho
Oh yes, OP forgot to mention that Polish victory
>he thinks that the archers did anything but harass the French flanks before joining in the melee
>he thinks all the Welsh were archers and all the English were men at arms
Again, fuck off with the meme history.
>150 Polish pilots
>2300 British pilots
>Polish victory
Yeah, but guess who did most of the job?
The British?
>Frogs still this butthurt that they lost repeatedly against England
>planes shot down by Poles: 126
>planes show down by Britons: 1851
The British?
>It's another I can't accept that England has won some battles because it might hurt my fragile ego to admit it episode
Fucking grow up
>planes shot down by Poles: 126
>planes shot down by Britons: 1851
The British?
Wrong, it was the Poles
And they even took time to crack the Engma code between two German aircrafts shot down
I think the aim of this thread is rather to remind that, although England has won some battles, it was always thank to a strong ally that contributed more
>he thinks the Enigma broken by the Poles in 1932 I'd the same Enigma broken by the British in the Second World War
Do you just have a big book of memes you're churning through?
England has also had the largest empire in the world.
Stay mad.
yes, you missed the German victory at Dunkirk, you fucking moron
>implying that quantity > quality
A small empire made of great people is better than a huge empire of empty deserts and nigger tribes
Oh yes
One of England's proudest episode
They even made a movie about it!
Then why did nobody else do it?
>hundreds of little unarmed, unarmoured ships sailing into the jaws of death to snatch soldiers from a beach before they can be captured or killed
>not a proud moment
>why did nobody else did something worthless?
The answer is self-evident.
>empire
The only non-meme part of the empire was India
>ungrateful britshit trying to downplay Polish achievements
We shouldnt have saved you
>pointing out the fact that the overwhelming majority of pilots were British
>pointing out the fact that the overwhelming majority of planes were shot down by the British
Sorry facts make you sad.

kek
Scum
Fuck off, fag

Buttfurious samefag who probably isn't even Polish.
>aristocrats ask the Dutch to invade and conquer England in order to soothe their anti-Catholic butthurt
>call it a Glorious Revolution
What did the /int/scum mean by this?
>1588: the weather's victory in the sea
about that.
the spanish armada was hit by the storms that wrecked it while it was retreating.
it was beaten, and heading for home and got wrecked while running.
>1815: the German victory at Waterloo
british army did most of the fighting at Waterloo, exhausted the french army and broke its resistance, by the time the prussians arrived the french were pretty much done for the day, the british army was in marginally better condition. had the prussians not turned up one of the sides most likely the french would have tried to slip away under cover of night.
>1944: the American victory in Normandy
yeah about that, the american breakthrough came only because the british had tied down and smashed up the vast majority of the german forces in france
>1709: the Austrian victory at Malplaquet
you missed the british victories of blenheim and ramillies.
>Missing any?
Minden? Trafalgar? Salamanca? Crecy, poiters? Plains of Abraham?
