Yellow fever mostly. The Spanish military has been pretty irrelevant since the 16th century so they celebrate meme victories like this
This was also due to diseasePic related, Kursk, Battle of Jaffa

Both this and OP were assaults on heavily fortified gun positions based on land.

Is this a fucking joke?
Any battle from Scipio's campaign is worth being made into a movie.
The fact that there wasn't a Scipio movie in the style of Gladiator yet is baffling to me. Honestly, once HBO is done with GoT they should "reboot" Rome with this timeline instead.
Show Hannibal absolutely murdering the Romans at the Battle of Cannae, showing Scipio barely escaping with his life while his father died on the battlefield. Then having him forced off to Spain as a general and build up burning vengeance and experience as a commander all for the sake of taking out Hannibal.
While that's going on, have Hannibal be in the background of Rome just fucking shit up. Eventually in some season down the road Scipio comes back to Rome, becomes Consul, goes to Venice, and starts his African campaign like a god damn boss.
There are so many good battles in that campaign it is just stupid.

Search this for yourselves if ever you doubt it genuineness.
The French army convinced the Spanish one to trample themselves to death in their hasty retreat.
Won't ever change the fact that you were cucked in 1066, and that the world still persists in seeing France as the more stylish of France and Britain.

Did they ever do a film about Hill 225? 650 Brits vs 10,000 Chinese. Brits lost 25% and Chinese lost 40%.

>Normans weren't French
However you choose to refer to the Normans, either by their leaders, or the components of their army, they still appear quite french with both those criteria.
It had been a century since Rollo's settlement in Normandy, where they'd sworn their subservience to the french monarchs, and by then, his descendants had interbred with French and Briton nobility to such a point that their Norwegian genes were all but diluted.
Other than being half french by his mother, William the Conqueror has been determined as being only of 16% viking admixture.
As to their army: it was funded by the then monarch of France, which was why France was then so keen on supplanting William's house with the house of Plantagenet (french house that ruled on England till the War of the Roses), and it also functioned with Frankish tactics. This is why William's army was much more successful, than say, the raids vikings had done hundred of years ago where they'd always be defeated in the open field.
So please don't hide behind your "Normans weren't french" argument :3

Fuck off. The Normans hated the French. They had their own laws, their own kingdoms, fought their own wars, including against the French themselves. They were a supported kingdom by France, but it didn't stop them hating the French. It's like calling a Scot an Englishman because he lives just over the border.
The Normans also had their own language.
Also, there was no 'French' at the time, either. Since they were a mix of various groups, Greco-Roman, Frankish, Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Gaul...

but southern France was way richer
the North only became relevant during the Industrial Revolution because that's where the coal was

This would make for a great mini-series. There's too many factions and too much shit going on for a single movie.
Nathaniel Perez
They lost the battle for sure but most of the casualties that make it look devastating were from sickness like pic related(keep in mind this was your neighbour and Cartegena was across the atlantic). It was a victory but it was mostly because of sickness and would make a terrible film.
Besides the Spanish have been a joke for 400 years, their only victories come from defensive engagements behind fortifications. And they've relied on the British or French saving them from the other several times.
They hardly won battles in the field and had so little force projection, they couldn't even take a rock that's attached to them
