  1. Visible Jeff yes but with upper-class British upbringing. He was known to have said "being born in a stable does not make one a horse"

  2. Imperator well Napoleon WAS known for a loud voice and mercurial temper, everything you see is according to the real history

  3. Aaaaand here we go again. Well if any country wants to try now, in the modern day they can feel free, due to economic troubles our navy's presently the smallest and weakest on paper that it's yet been (although that should change soon so better hurry up); Argentina in particular can tell you it's probably not gonna be as easy as you think it's going to be though. In the more than four hundred years since Great Britain as a united nation was formed, and by this I mean the home islands not the empire, no foreign power has ever succeeded in invading and conquering her, and yet during that time our Royal Navy has rarely been the biggest numerically nor the strongest on paper in the world- although the skill, discipline and professionalism of it's crews has never wavered, and they above all else, along with an equally small yet capable and dependable army and air force are what has kept our island home safe and secure, and remaining so to this day

  4. Wildtrexkid probably true lol. The last (original) episode, Sharpe's Waterloo is almost as good as this I'd say, the second best recreation of the battle I've seen. And he doesn't even die in it :-D

  5. Where are YOU from may I ask, or more specifically of what descent is your nationality? I'm guessing India from the above? if so there would BE no India as we know it without the repeated invasions and eventual conquering by the British and their subsequent domination and imperial colonization of the landmass it is situated upon, and more importantly the people living there; this had numerous results, both good and very, very bad ramifications throughout the long history of the 'Raj' as I'm sure you're very aware, ones that still affect India to this day in fact, and I won't go into them in detail here as this comment is going to be long enough as it is haha; my point is that if you're going to start reacting like that maybe, before ending up, as you do sounding rather superior and holier-than-thou you should consider your own (presumed ancestral) historical position, due to the undeniable fact that India's entire history as a nation was being heavily influenced by outsiders and Great Britain in particular centuries before 1947, and that the above 'statement' that this whole stupid Youtube 'comment war' was somehow started by was clearly referencing overall national identities as we commonly think of them far more than the landmasses they're sitting on or what they were in ancient times; in other words think before you type please. While I'm here I feel I should also add the aforementioned 'statement' was clearly not intended to be politically intelligent or sensitive on any serious level but simply a rather poor and predictable attempt to get a few laughs, and I'm only responding to you with such seriousness due to your own taking of it so seriously.

  6. robertnordsieck true but you didn't need to be in the KGL if you were of Anglo-German ancestry, there were plenty of British soldiers in ordinary line regiments of mixed heritage
