>Haiti against France in 1802
Why is wiki so trash?

...

>how is this even possible
How? It's the rule. Only British army is very special and is capable of losing battles against not only less technologically advanced enemies, but the fucking primitives.

It's not like the Portuguese had much more advanced technology than the Ottomans and Indians at the time.

imagine being one of those 2 killed

The fucking madman. Gotta have Egyptian bitches swarming him after that display of giant balls.

>Czechoslovak legionaries conquered whole siberian railway, taking control of whole Russia east of Ural, allowing Whites to form provisional government, and form a proper resistance, even tried to free Nicky who was killed week before they got to him
>not even listed
what the fuck

...

i always feel bad for the people in these battles who were unlucky enough to die on the victor's side.

...

the based czechs fought more than the actual russians and aren't even recognized. its sad

Where's the decisive victory where the Portuguese or Dutch lost in that area?

they're listed under Czechoslovakia

for the portuegese it was during the 60s (1960s)
as for the dutch the brits kicked their asses
(the dutch were under east indian company)

...

...

>the 60s
Portugal was already irrelevant in that area for 1670

...

>the prologue

>this thread

>British army
But all of these are naval battles

I always loved this, seriously, the whole event deserves a movie

Casualties and losses
Fewer than 73 Spanish deaths. Unknown, but very high number of casualties.

There is one being filmed called "Legionáři - sibiřská anabáze" it has support of many top tier actors and stuff liek that, and budget is 100 000 000 Czech crowns (about 4 000 000 dollars) but last info everywhere is either from 2015 or 2016 and it was supposed to be realeased in 2017

Nevermind, director made an interview in summer 2017 and said he is goign to finish it even with financial problems. You can also check movie called "Zborov" from 1938

>When a cavalry charge capture a entire fleet

>czechs fought more than the actual russians
Funny because it's accurate. White movement was desorganized as fuck, main reason why even a pack of complete retards like the bolsheviks managed to win the war.

hard to imagine since they're dead

>indians and south-central asians
>"durr they have moozlim names in the wikiepedai belligrant region and a CRESCENT on dey flag... TURKS AND MOORS that wat dey is
ameritards should be banned from Veeky Forums

how is this supposed to even be believable?
how is it different from herodotus claiming 10,000 persians were killed at the cost of 3 greeks, or Appian claiming only 349 Romans were killed in Magnesia while 50,000 Greeks were killed?

What? It was at the end of ww1 the reds had the support of their army/navy and everyone else was overstretched because of ww1.

...

But the portugese won in all 3 of them?

Anything is possible to those who are prepared to seize victory.

vast technological disparity

yep, thats me. Youre probably wondering how I ended up here...

What the fuck were Senegal and Niger doing?

>thread about succeeding against improbable odds
>becomes quickly a thread about The Eternal Luso

Feels good

Also, did you know that we are responsible for ISIS, the Catalonian Revolution and the Massacres of Muslims at Burma?

Argentina?
We dindu nuffin.

wtf I love portugal now

mfw it takes a moor to beat a moor.

And for the historically illiterate, it's a reference to this:

that's just cheating

>your historically illiterate if you do not know of this obscure battle that Portugal fought in
Euro-centrism is a fucking disease.

but user, Europe starts at the Pyrenees

The power of cannon armed ships.
The ships can bombard you from afar and you can do nothing but trying to rush.
