Difference between resisting and outright treachery, breaking the rules of war and murder.
OFC in revenge all of the villages in that mountain pass were burned down and the villagers shot, then the palace at kabul was demolished and the markets set on fire and the city looted

>Difference between resisting and outright treachery, breaking the rules of war and murder. The "manners of war" are just bullshit created by technically superior armies to force feed self defeat upon less developed armies. You are basically telling them to allow you to shoot them for free and that those rock-throwers in the mountains aren't fair.

The idea of colonial warfare having rules is like when you used to invent games to play with your little brother that you knew he could never beat you at

Colonial warfare in Asia wasnt like shooting indian or negro tribes, these were ancient kingdoms and princely states, they had armies, firearms and large cities. War has always had rules and they were a developed civilisation, they had used them in the past, they knew them and they broke them

>The British officer John Masters recorded in his autobiography that Afghan women in the North-West Frontier Province of British India during the Second Anglo-Afghan War would castrate non-Muslim soldiers who were captured, like British and Sikhs.
>They also used an execution method involving urine; Pathan women urinated into prisoner's mouths. Captured British soldiers were spread out and fastened with restraints to the ground, then a stick, or a piece of wood was used to keep their mouth open to prevent swallowing. >Pathan women then squatted and urinated directly into the mouth of the man until he drowned in the urine, taking turns one at a time.
Wtf?
Cameron Howard

Jace Cooper
>>British come to help >>start winning battles, recovering land, eventually recover it all But this is categorically wrong: >2 out of the 3 decisive battles were Spanish won >Spain ALONE kicked José I out of Spain and was the first nation to defeat the French army >Napoleón takes control after his brother got cucked >Spain STILL BTFO's Napoleón out of Andalucía -Asedio de Cádiz, with a minority of Br*ts- >Spain has done everything in the country, Napoleón is finished >the Brits are the majority in the LAST major victory >"Hey, lad, WE won" Perfidious PIRATES riding the coat-tails of Spanish victories.
Jordan Powell
690 British soldiers and about 3,800 Sepoys, whose commanding officer was ill, struggling to keep safe 12,000 civilians through a narrow pass during the freezing winter, which they were not supplied for (due to trickery) against a force of some 30,000 ambushers who had been given time (through trickery) to prepare.
They made a good and stoic accounting of themselves tbqh, makes me proud

What sort of alternate history is this?
Yes Spain and the spanish beat the French themselves in 1808, but then napoleon invaded himself and the Spanish fell apart, they had your capital for fucks sake.
Major battles
Talavera (British win), Salamanaca (British win), Badajoz (British win), Vitoria (British win) and so on and so on, nearly all of the major battles were dominated by the British
Adrian Wilson
The invasion succeeded, the garrison of about 20,000 was reduced to 8,000 was then reduced, then some guy emerged to overthrow the old afghan leader we put in place, gathered a load of support from among the people and the 8,000 men in afghanistan were cut off from India by the winter snow, the 4,500 men in Kabul felt threatened by an insurrection in the city and as they had set up camp outside the city as a show of goodwill to the sultan they originally put in place , therefore they tried to move to a fortress city near the border which was better defended and more safe. Treachery and ambush ensued
Henry Cox
>Talavera (British win), Salamanaca (British win), Badajoz (British win), Vitoria (British win) and so on and so on, nearly all of the major battles were dominated by the British I've literally posted a picture earlier about the victories of the war, and all of them in Spain -safe for 2 in Badajoz- were Spanish. >alternate history That's the history they teach you in the UK, where you don't want to remember Bailén fucked the French army and Cádiz, the turning point that forced the French to retreat back to the north was won by the Spanish people. Look at the number sin the pic. Your country is literally teaching you that YOU did Cádiz and that YOU forced them out of Andalucía, which is a fucking lie.

Beautiful.
Adam Gray
Yeah you have but you seem to assume it shows something, which in fact it does not.
You have made a collage of battles , half of which are from 1808 before Napoleon's re-invasion, and the other half which are after have missed out most of the major ones, apart from Talavera and Vitoria, both of which were mostly won due to the British
Jack Murphy
This just proves that you are on the Spectrum
Christopher Wood
I noticed how dago wiki tried to portray battles where the Spanish fled or just watched as their victories.
Jack Reed
>w-wikipedia is lying! >Spanish history l-lies! >my British f-fairy tails are true!

Nathaniel Cruz
>W-we won! >l-look! it was the Brits the ones who kick t-them out of Andalucía! Reminder that Gibraltar is right beside Cádiz, and you people didn't even have the balls to come to fight.

Jordan Jenkins
Stupid Dago, as i said thats1808 therefore i dont care, because the French invaded again with Napoleon invaded in person a few months later , and they steamrolled through Spain, so you didnt do a very good job of kicking them out did you? Then the British came with Wellington and kicked them out.
Brody Watson
Doesnt change the fact that most of your collage was about defeating a completely different invasion and that in defeating the 2nd more successful invasion the British took the leading role
Anthony Taylor
>5 de febrero de 1810-24 de agosto de 1812 >"as i said thats1808 therefore" >British reading skills Napoleón was kicked out of Andalucía by SPAIN, look at those numbers. Being taking out of Andalucía forced Napoleón to keep retreating to the north, and eventually leaving Spain. >I won't read the numbers because it shows Britain did literally nothing Sad!
Samuel Jackson
Fucking Afghans, and then they have the utter fucking CHEEK to complain when people kill them
Landon James
The collage was to show that the Peninsular War was won by Spain primarily. That comment you replied to just know was a link to the second invasion, m8, check those fucking dates.
Leo Cook
Oh, that siege, the 2nd siege, which you didnt manage to lift until the very end of the war, that siege yes...
Dylan Johnson
This, not even other muslims like them, not even arabs like them.
Not even pakis trust them. They are quite literally the niggest of niggs in the middle east.
Cameron James
That siege that was the turning point of the war, yes... THAT siege!
Parker Smith
The collage is cherrypicked and extremely limited, its mostly minor battles, the only major ones you included were the ones which included the British with the Spanish ,with Vittoria being majority British and the other being just less than half British- although that half did more good than all of the Spanish forces there, it doesnt change the fact that the British were the leading force behind defeating the French
Ryder Jackson
>I won't read a history book because it hurts my national pride Sad!
Christopher Baker
That siege was not the turning point of the war you silly sod, it cant have been because it wasnt lifted until the end
Adrian Allen
>it doesnt change the fact that the British were the leading force behind defeating the French Again, wrong. The decisive battles were primarily Spanish 2 out of 3 times: >Bailén, which caused the second invasion >Cádiz, which caused the fleeing of the French army to the north
Jeremiah Rodriguez
saved, brilliant pepe
Nolan Scott
>it couldn't have been the turning point It was, as it was a decisive victory that forced Napoleón out of Andalucía. >You have to read British history books, which are unbiased I don't want to defend people from Cádiz, since they are disgusting, but you taking their victory is insulting at an intellectual level.
Leo Clark
Those arent the decisive battles of the war, and again-the first one is irrelevant as the French reinvaded and defeated nearly all of the Spanish forces, then Napoleon was content and left
No, it really was not, it was the defeat of his armies throughout spain in a long campaign not the siege of one city which lasted for nearly the entire war, thats a symptom not a cause also: >Spanish intellectuals

There was no real hope that they would ever take the place." >Royal Navy destroys French battery positions >Spanish ships stuck in port because they aren't sea worthy >British win the battle of Barrosa to relieve Cadiz facing a French army almost double its number because the Spanish retreated at first sight because of this 500 British soldiers had to hold against 5000 frogs at one point >Spanish officers reported to have broken down in tears when mocked by British common soldiers for cowardice >French are constantly diminishing the siege force to face the British at Badajoz >British victory at Salamanca (where the Spanish did absolutely nothing once more) >Wellington then threatens to cut off Soult which makes France finally retreat Have an army

If they have cities and have had set battles in the past then they know the rules, the Punjabis obeyed them, the sikhs obeyed them , why couldnt the fucking Afghans. Literally worse than Jews, nobody likes the Afghans
