@thecatalyst6212 People describe the fact how long such a burden as war lasted. If do you read Forester or other writers with their fictional British sea-heroes or more adjusted to the truth, talented pirates, like, in reality, Sidney-Smith or Cochrane (both were the best military seamen in history), you'll read, that all those heroes whether died or were fatigue about war, especially the Napoleonic Wars lasted more than 20 years. Think about, one of my grandfathers served in 2 WWs, after it, he was a broken man. Living in times of war was never funny. There is always war, but most times, as in our case, not in the own backyard.

@adamdubin1276 The Spaniards built the best ships, but suffered under the nobles in the spanish society. A spanish comission was a bought privilege, public yachting. As in France spanish officers did not want to fight. In the battle of the Saintes, Drach mentioned it in the vid, you see the failure of de Grasse, who saw sea-warfare as a project. Rodney was no genius, but de Grasse had no aim to find him and to destroy the Brits. In the war of Independence the Brits were obiously lost, if there would not have been a lack of political will in France and Spain to destroy the Empire for once and forever. Check the fate of the best French admiral ever, Bali de Suffren, who was more british than the Brits. His officers were not willing to follow his ideas and orders. The secret of British sea-superiority lays behind one court-marshalled and shot british admiral, Mr. Byng, after he lost battle of Menorca. Even Admiral Hollands decision to attack immediatly the Germans at Denmark Strait in 1941, instead to wait for Norfolk & Suffolk, refers too this one judgement of 1757.
