The Battle of Quiberon Bay (1759): The Royal Navy's Finest Hour
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.4 года назад
The Battle of Quiberon Bay is one of the most important events in British military history. In this video I examine this naval encounter more closely. Not only do I discuss the battle itself, but also the broader context. In this way I wish to demonstrate how we should not consider these battles as isolated events but as the culmination of a long and tiresome process of preparation and strategi...

    In 1812 Canada had three first rate ships of the line with 112 guns and the third slated for 120 guns. The HMS St. Lawrence, HMS Wolfe and HMS Canada built for the war with the US. They were built in Kingston, On.

    Very interesting analysis with a lot of apt research. I think it’s also worth stressing the critical shortage of experienced seamen faced by the French Navy at the time. Suddenly losing another 2500 seamen at Cardinaux was probably more operationally crippling than the loss of a few more ships. Tough place to be in. Do you have any thoughts for what a French commander such as Conflans or his superiors could have done at or before the battle to avoid disaster or defeat the blockade?

El reino unido recien para 2050 va a desclasificar la informacion sobre la guerra y hace no mucho el principe andrew reconocio que el portaaviones fue atacado (esto siempre fue negado). Cuando la flota vuelve de la guerra es por eso que el falso invencible no aparece en southampon hasta unos meses despues (la excusa fue que se quedo apoyando en las islas).

      I'm not disagreeing with you or anything, but do you really think that it was just liberals and immigrants that caused England, population 50 million give or take, to be eclipsed by the USA, population 320 million, and China, population north of a billion? England, or the UK, or the Empire, however you style it, was a declining power by 1910, back when there were virtually no immigrants to be seen. Britain's global standing fell apart because it was unsustainable over the long term. It's astonishing that England held on as long as it did as a global power, a tribute to its people and its politics. You chaps have punched above your weight for over a hundred years. Not bad.
