Егиа Не соглашусь. Человек (и не только он) может и делает это. Согласно современным представлениям, люди кардинально менялись буквально в течении тесячелетий, будь то смена кожи на светлую, волос с темных на белые и т.д. К слову, я сам в большинство из этого не верю, так как занимаю религиозную позицию сотворения человека, но положения этих теорий прекрасно знаю. А в качестве примера полного изменения человека менее чем за пятьсот лет получи деградацию мужчин и мужественности, которая в настоящее время идёт полным ходом, и останавливаться не собирается. Причем это при условии доступа к бракам между людьми абсолютно разных популяций, развивавшихся обособленно друг от друга. Как мы видим, чем меньше в мире остаётся традиционности и естественности - тем меньше мужики будут мужиками, а бабы - бабами.

Since the 16th century? Spain started to decline in the 18th century, not the 16th. In the 16th adn 17th century Spain was the major power in Europe and the world. Also, about Wellington army. That was not the only army, as said before, there were isolated armies in Spain that should not be belittle, since they won most of the first battle against France. Actually, they won the very FIRST battle against the Napoleonic Empire, led by a Spanish general. And also, the first years the English and Portuguese didn't helped the Spanish at all, quite the opposite, they would do anything possible to ignore Spain's ask for help, or actually say they would help and in the last moment back up on their word, apart from the raping, sacking and burning of Spanish cities after "liberating" them from the French invaders. More than helpful, they were a burden, to put it midly, but they were really just another invading and destructive force (and it is well known that their intention was to actually invade Spain after expelling the French, they just concluded that it wouldn't be that easy and let it be). It is indeed when Wellington was finally in charge that things changed for the better, but he was not in charge from the very beginning.

[@johnhannibal5108]

The Mongols conquered them The Germans knocked them out of World War One The trick to beating the Russians is 1. don't attack them when they are unified and 2. Equip your goddamn troops for winter. It'll be there. The Finns handed the Russians their ass but eventually had to quit due to sheer numbers but ended up more or less favourably. The Russians did not have their hearts in it (it was not a defensive war) and the Finns were even better prepared for winter. The Poles sent them packing in the 1920s. The Poles battered the Red Army and rope-a-doped for a bit. The Russians were decisively defeated by the Japanese in 1904-05 in Port Arthur and the Far East.

[@Hdusiekwbshsjs]

john hannibal None of those were a decisive loss for the Russians. Poland and Finland was just a hiccup in their conquest of reclaiming lost land. The Germans didn’t knock them out of the war either, revolution was inevitable. Even if Lenin wasn’t there, Trotsky could have probably done it himself or Lenin could have left Switzerland himself.

I have to say that France was the one who declared war to Spain. The French armies were suppossed to march to Portugal via the Burgos route, but they began marching into towns as far as Zaragoza. Later in 1808, Ferdinand, the son of Charles III of Spain made a coup (Aranjuez Mutiny). Seeing that there was no resolution on that, Napoleon convocated both of them at Bayonne, where Ferdinand abdicated in Charles, and Charles abdicated in Joseph, Napoleon's brother. However, there were members of the royal family in Madrid, and when the French forces entered Madrid and kidnapped the young prince, the Spaniards attacked the French (2 of May uprising).

[@lourencoalmada1305]

Yep, had Portugal accepted Napoleon's ultimatum and cut all trade with England like every other European country had done, the British would have been starved to death before they could even fight Napoleon. Because Portugal didn't accept it, Napoleon invaded and the Royal Family fled to Brazil, while the army and people resorted to guerrilla warfare against the French. The British then arrived to Portugal and with the help of the Portuguese pushed Napoleon back into France. Once Napoleon was defeated, the Portuguese Empire was in shambles, since we had spent all our money in the war, and shortly thereafter Brasil fought and gained independence, and after that, to add insult to injury, Portugal entered into a civil war. Through all of that the British decided to help many of our enemies, buy our most profitable companies and destroy our textile industry, the backstabbing bastards.

[@erwannleligerien3771]

Yes but if Napoleon had invaded Portugal as he wanted, a Bonaparte would become king of your kingdom (because the official king was in Brazil) and Portugal had a powerful fleet, a weapon between the hands of the French but the objective of the French invasion was to close the continental gate what Portugal was for the British.

They lost territories to United States in the north and to Brazil in the south, and became basically a mess thanks to the British, mainly, which were behind all the independence scheme.

It is because russians and ottomans started fighting at trhe time when the ottoman empire had lost much of its power. And there are a lot of reasons why it had lost its power before that wars. One of them is that while russians monitored the improvements much earlier than the ottomans, the ottoman empire didnt bother to do such an act because at that time they thought they were still better than europeans. On the other hand, some good sultans understood they were totall wrong and eventually they started to send some people to see what was happening in europe. However, these attemtps couldnt succeed because of the varying reasons. And ottomans hadnt been able to succeed in improving their country so much until the tanzimat in 1856.
