"Clearly our writer is badly in need of a long-overdue flogging", I appreciated that.

Alvaro de Bazan was perhaps the greatest admiral at the time, having defeated the Ottomans, French, English, and Portuguese on all occasions--never defeated. If he hadn't died the Spanish Armada could have succeeded. An admiral for 50 years, I don't think Alvaro would have made the boneheaded mistakes Medina de Sidona did.

I applaud Charles for defending the interests of his aunt and cousin.

"The English plan was to take Santander, Lisbon, and the Azores"
_the English abandon Santander for deeming it too defended, and instead attack the smaller Coruña_
_the English are then ROUTED from Coruña by a force of civilians and some marines_
_the English then decide 'you know what? I think we can still besiege the much larger capital city of Lisbon'_
bruh.

The Anglo-Spanish War wasn't merely a draw, contrary to the portrayal in this documentary; rather, it stood as a resounding victory for Spain. By 1604, the battered English economy could no longer withstand the relentless strain of maritime warfare, leading to the signing of the Treaty of London. England yielded to all Spanish demands: it renounced support for the Dutch rebels, opened the English Channel to Spanish maritime traffic, and put a stop to the activities of privateers in the Atlantic Ocean. Viewed as a defeat by the English themselves at the time, the treaty sparked a failed attempt to overthrow King James I. Consequently, the pirate Sir Walter Raleigh, who had defied both the treaty and the king's orders by persisting in his futile attempts to assault Spanish vessels, faced execution.

31:46 NEVER try to cross the bridge when you are the defender. The Total War series has taught us this lesson many times.

España no solo estaba en guerra contra Inglaterra, tambien estaba en guerra contra Holanda, Francia, imperio otomano...y algun pais mas.

It would be really cool if you made a big documentary about the 80 years war and the Dutch-Portuguese war

[jeremyharris]

I love the bits of British humor scattered throughout the writing. Very informative and entertaining video!

[JulesFaraday]

It’s a terrifying prospect to think how successful the Spanish armadas would’ve been against England had it not been for the unusually coincidental storms that prevented them from landing to begin with.

Aguilla and Padilla sounds like a delicious entree. Also, it's fun to hear about rain being the great defender of England.

Realmente no me esperaba que tantos ingleses sean objetivos y no traten de manchar la reputación del otro, no como Hollywood :, ) que hasta el momento no se ha echo una película en Honor a la Humanidad refiriéndose a España 🇪🇸

Such a cool documentary! Quick question will the remastered Diadochi wars end at ipsus or keep talking about the Diadochi in the decades after?
