Yeah... Uhm... Two episodes from now, they're going to cover Rocroi. Might want to brace yourself for that.

[@Catholic-Redpilled-Spaniard]

@@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa Rocroi is one of the battles that has been more lied about. Rocroi was a tactical defeat but nothing more, the french propaganda machine has talked about it as if it was the tomb of the tercios. I hope this channel talks about Nordlingen first and , when they talk about Rocroi, do it fairly.

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

@@Catholic-Redpilled-SpaniardThe Spanish abandoned the Tercio System after Rocroi. You can't possibly contend that it was anything other than the tomb of the Tercios. Maybe the one influence by propaganda is you, refusing to admit your country was curbstomped by France 400 years ago

[@Catholic-Redpilled-Spaniard]

@@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa Have you even read the Battle of Rocroi? Tell me, what are the reasons the Spaniards "lost"? The german and italian tercios retreated because the french knew they were the lesser men. The spaniah cavalry beat the french one in both flanks, and the Spanish Tercio resisted 5 charges from the french army, which outnumbered it, and still stood after being pounded by the french artillery. The Spaniards were given the same conditions of surrender than a fortified city (only time that´s ever happened) and were allowed to leave in formation, with the weapons and the flags. Rocroi was a tactical victory because the french kept the field. There have been more books published in France about Rocroi than about Napoleon. If that does not scream propaganda, I dont know what does. The french had been defeated for 150 years by Spain over and over again in Europe, while having an empire 15 times larger than them; they desperately needed a propagandistic victory, and Rocroi was perfect.

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

@@Catholic-Redpilled-Spaniard Has it occurred to you that you desperately want your own country to be badass and cool, and can't face the fact that it ever lost, so you're twisting history to refuse having to admit that the Tercios were beaten. Did Spain abandon the Tercio after losing at Rocroi, Dunkirk, and the Dunes. Yes or no question.

17th century politics are so interesting.
