Well, that's not correct. Not only Spain remained as the mot powerful naval country, but it remained as the most powerful country in every sense, only to start to decline after some land defeats against the french in the 30 years war (remarkably the…

Geezzzzz…sounds like someone is still butthurt from losing their armada back in the late 1500s’. Hm no. Spain lost a fleet trying to invade GB (the name "armada invencible" was coined by the british), but that was just a battle and it didn't hav…

Germany was out number one trading partner. It's not a good idea to put trade sanctions on your trade partner now, is it? [...] It's not that I doubt about you, but it's the first time I hear that England and France did not attack Germany because.…

Yep outfctrl, this is an example of bullshit written by stupid people. I recommend you and anyone who cares about knowing the truth to go here and look for those wars mentioned (thirty years' war "tied"? war of devolution "tied"? dutch war "tied"?..…

rofl, hillarious and VERY true. God I hate the french. Written by an american: The new big thing on the web is all these sites with names like "I Hate France," with supposed datelines of French military history, supposedly proving how the French…

Originally posted by BigDogofBria What discussion? This is an anti american tirade you posted to start a flame war and make yourself feel superior. And when I pointed that out you started backpedling by claiming you had nothing against the Unite…

The discussion with you is going nowhere, baff, because we started with facts and ended talking mostly about opinions. Normally simply I wouldn't answer and leave the "conversation" here, because it reached a point in which I can learn nothing from …

This emphasises the basic weakness of the EU. It is disjointed. It's not united, and can never be united. Half of the EU wants it, and half doesn't. The half that want's it doesn't have the power to do it on it's own or the power to persuade or enfo…

I see flaws, and still think my country is number one. I celebrate Independence day, reflect on the sacrificies of our veterans on veterans day, feel pride in my heart at the playing of the anthem, etc. Heck, I cheer for the US in international sp…

Bretton Woods ended because we did not have an unlimited supply of gold to pay Europe whenever you guys decided to convert those dollars into gold from all the cars watches etc. we were buying from you. I can see how you guys see that as a betrayal,…

I am sure the local oppressed Indian populations forced to live in the mountains and on the crappiest pieces of land share this view? While the European descendants live decently enough the originial populations live in a state of persistant generat…

That would be impossible! The EU says it isn't allowed... Well, let me explain it to you. Government deficit cannot exceed 3% of GDP, and as I said, Spain not only didn't exceed that limit but our government had a surplus equal to 0.2% of GDP. I us…

So you decided to address the non-question parts because the actual few questions were to tough? I didn't find any real question on your first posts, that's why I didn't answer to them :P No I didn't read that article you posted, it was flawed f…

Originally posted by Aetius73 Lets not forget how wealthy and wonderful it is to live in the former colonies of Spanish South America. Definitely, living in South America is way better than living in Africa, the Middle East and the vast majority…

Originally posted by Aetius73 Helped or exploited? I'm thinking its the latter. It is your fault what came later if you had done a better job preparing your colonies to be nation states the 3rd world would not be in the mess it is now. Exploited…
