Reply to comment by PrettyText in TIL a year after the defeat of the Spanish Armada, the English sent their own Armada to Spain, leading to similar losses of ships and men, and an ignominious English defeat by malektewaus
Where did you learn your history? I must be one of a very few people who was taught a well rounded view of history, going by some of these comments.
Also people don't think we are polite and cultured, any post on here about the UK is full of people shitting on the British.
