@matthewrobinson4323 and no, sadly 😕 always wanted to but I'm disabled, have glasses, clumsy, slow, not exactly ideal military material unfortunately, and am too old to join now anyway. Got a whole family of servicemen past and present who did join up though ☺ got an uncle who was in the Royal Navy, my Father and Grandfather were RAF, my Mother's Father was in the British Army as were both my Great Grandfathers on my Dad's side, and I've not one but two cousins presently serving in the U.S. Marines no less, long story haha. My Father's Mother's Father was a Knight and a Major-General. Military family, guess I'm the black sheep

@matthewrobinson4323 Eh? I meant HOLLAND was the Republic being defeated by a NON-republic not the other way round? but ok if you want to get into historic examples fully how about this one, Julius Caesar versus Pompey Magnus and The Senate in Ancient Rome. Corrupt and debauched though they may have been they WERE a damn republic, one of the ORIGINAL republics built on the Greek model, and led into battle by Pompey The Great no less, but defeated by a single all-conquering military man with aristocratic background- and with a vision; a man who wished to sweep away the old order, put a new one in it's place and make himself dictator for life, much like the later kings, kaisers and emperors he would inspire- and who, briefly, SUCCEEDED. Before he did though they probably arrogantly sneered at him for daring to put himself up against their oh-so-mighty republic, believed they could crush Caesar like an insect- they were wrong
