@@victorguzman6123 yup, just take the " Spanish flu " for example we get branded with a negative term in the english speaking world even thou its well known it didnt start in Spain , Spain was more responsable for alarming the world about it... the misguided term is still in use today but Spanish people dont give a rats about it , only misinformed people who dont bother to check the history use it , you are right the honorable history of Spain lays on what others say about us , most of the history ive learned about Spain has come from British books and docos .

The Royal Navy was defeated multiple times by the Spanish Navy, but History omits it. Francis Drake, was defeated in Veracruz in the battle of San Juan de Ulua in 1568. The Invincible English, invasion fleet sent by Elizabeth I to defeat to the Spanish navy, was defeated by Spain and its navy in 1589. Edward Vernon was defeated in Cartagenas De Indias by Blas de Lezo in 1741. Horacio Nelson, the great victor of Trafalgar, was defeated in Tenerife, Spain, 25 of July of 1797. Before the Royal Navy was the owner of the seas, its predecessor was the Spanish Navy, who dominated the seas and made Spain the first global empire in world history, and also has the merit of discovering the American continent. PLUS ULTRA

Don Blaz de Lezo holds the absolute winning record of battles - zero losses - , together with D. Álvaro de Bazan.

*Los dos dislikes son de veteranos ingleses,grande Blas* ♥

Blas de Lezo y Olavarrieta, defended our Cartagena against the greed of the english crown. So humiliating defeat it was the king banned any commentary or document about that war.

The 4 english worst navy disasters in history: 1°. La Rochelle (France) 1372. Spanish navy destroyed the whole englush navy. 2°. English Armada 1589. Spanish destroy or captured 75 english vessels and thousands english dead when attacking La Coruña and Lisbon, Drake is totally defeated. 3°. Cartagena de Indias 1741. Another english Armada totally defeated when trying to attack or invade in Spain, like in Cadiz 1625 for instance. 4°. Action of 9 August 1780. This the worst english navy logistic disaster in history. Spain captured a double english convoy, the booty 55 english frigates, briggs and indiaman, thousands prisioners, 80.000 muskettes, 1.600.000 pounds in golden coins....., the consequences, London stock exchange collapsed and Cornuallis lost in Yorktown.

Omg. This man was so physically battered through his career. First, his leg, then his eye, then his arm. This guy was a tough Spanish naval officer. A warrior.

The story of this amazing bloke, WHO WAS ON THE WINNING SIDE IN EVERY SINGLE BATTLE HE WAS IN, should be made into a series of movies. In contrast to pirates, he was never involved in attacking the weak to kill, rob and destroy their property purely for selfish gain.

grew up not far from the Caribbean port of Cartagena and Blas de Lezo's statue in front of the San Felipe de Barajas fortress reminds me of my youth days. The place is magical, designed to repel all pirates attacking the city! Pirates of the Caribbean to me = Cartagena. Nowadays it is a UNESCO world patrimony and a beautiful city worth visiting.

By the way, there is another spanish heroe that always defeated the english. During the USA independence, spanish general Bernardo de Galvez (Spain sent 12.000 soldiers) defeated the english in all battles, Mobile, Charlotte, Pendacola.....and took all english forts in Florida and Luisiana (in that time Luisiana reached the border with Canada), even took Saint Joseph fort in Michigan, and spanish also defeated an english－sioux army in San Luis (Misuri), it wasn't France the one that helped USA the most, it was Spain by far, ships, soldiers, money, canions, blankets, food, medicines.....etc etc etv, even Washington spies networks were spanish, and the decision and design of USA independence was made by the spanish Minister of Indies, Jose de Galvez, that was very annoyed because of the english aleays trying to attack spanish territories in the American Continent, Jose de Galvez and many important spanish families from Cuba were very close friends of Washington and some other important american rebels, and the decision was taken, USA woulg get the independence and the spanish would damage the english very seriously because its continuos harassment against Spain. Spain had the biggest Empire overseas and the english were starting to have their own and finally english Empire emerged when the spanish one finished around 1820, but they couldn't defeat Spain in battlefield, Spain was completely exhausted after 300 years of continuos wars worlwide against all major powers, Spanish Empire finished with internal.fights promoted by the eternal enemy of Spain, the masonry.

Even Napoleon lost at Waterloo! But de Lezo just kept winning till the day he died!!!!!

Pls take note of another series of incidents that took parte among those days, in the called Jenkins ear war. Spanish ship " El Glorioso", Gloroious, had 4 encounters at sea with almost 15 british ships, defeating them in 4/different combats. Very interesting story. De la Cerda was his commander and after his final defeat....was honoured in the UK....

This guy is the top world navies BADASS!!!!

incredible....unreal------ the Spanish have always been excellent seaman.....

The mayor english navy defeats in history have been always against Spain, La Rochelle 1372, English Armada 1589, Cartagena de Indias 1741 and Action of 9 August 1780, by the way in Trafalgar the real truth is starting to be uncovered, even british historians like David Chandler or Duncan Anderson from Sandhurst Military Academy admitt they didn't win in Trafalgar, the ships of line lost by the spanish－french were the same.number as the english but the english suffered 9.000 deaths, the french 3.500 and the spanish 1.500, and also a lot of english that survived fron sunk ships and managed to sirvive and reach the spanish coasts. I am jus,talking about these 5 navy battles, but the english suffered many other more important navy defeats fighting against Spain, and by land a huge number of defeats.

the english King order to delete the great humillación at Cartagena. that is why brithis think their navy never lose until today. but the propaganda is ending and is glorious to see

Typhus had something to do with the defeat .diseases affected both parts , Englishmen being more affected ?...maybe. But the key factor was the skillfulness of De Lezo, a really creative , experimented and effective militar. Most probably one of the best. You can check it out. Great video . Thanks from Spain .

5:11 "Dysentery became rife and the British were forced to retreat" - Are you suggesting that the main reason why British troops withdrew from Cartagena de Indias was because of dysentery??? Admiral Vernon tried everything to take over Cartagena despite of its troops uncontrollable diarrhea, as he anticipated a full British Victory over the outnumbered Spanish defenders. In fact, he sent notice to King George II prior to the final outcome of the battle, assuring his triumph. Dysentery was nothing but the last straw to the major defeat of the invading troops by the Spanish Army led by the Great Don Blas de Lezo. Truth is that Don Blas de Lezo outmaneuvered Vernon in a series of strategic military actions. Admiral Vernon's epitaph reads: "He subdued Chagres, and in Cartagena conquered as far as the naval force could take the victory" LOL After humiliating the Royal Navy, Lezo wrote to Vernon: "To come to Cartagena is necessary that the King of England builds a larger naval fleet, as this one has ended up only good enough to ship coal from London to Ireland, which would have been better than undertaking a conquest that cannot get". PLUS VLTRA!

Let’s take your incorrect numbers and pretend they’re right... 1) the average of 80%-90%=85% 2) 15% of a 30,000 men army = 4,500 3) Spanish army in Cartagena = 3000 men; Therefore, a larger English army (with or without diseases) lost to the outnumbered Spanish led by Blas de Lezo in Cartagena. No excuse - with or without diarrhea, the result was shitty for the English.

I was willing to ignore the many errors in your diction and the lackluster historical accuracy of your story until you called Admiral Edward Vernon a general. I was unable to continue watching this document from then onwards, for obvious reasons. Shame on you for claiming history has anything to do with your channel, very very poor standards I see.
