We dutch beat venezuela once in a war

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch–Venezuelan_crisis_of_1908 we dutch overthrew a castro

🍆

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_on_Copenhagen_(1659)

You also helped the Danes kick the Swedes back to their silly country

Dutch 🍆

Karl gustav got cucked. Is denmark germanic or scandinavian?

Scandi right?

yes

Gustav was great leader btw for the swedish

yes he was pretty great

so beating him was probably not easy

One of the finest swedish or european leaders in history

A military genius at that as well

very much so

Napoleon gets way too overrated. Dont get me wrong

But karl gustav is higher on my list then napoleon

Napoleon also looked at Gustav as an inspiration, iirc

wasn't a smart move of Gustav to defy international treaty and attempt to mess with Dutch trade at that point though, as he had no fleet to support such a move

but he had most likely counted on the assault being over in no time

While the dutch were getting hammered in the time of michiel de ruyter... when germans, english, france were gangbanging the dutch

Atleast we didnt cuck and capitulate but fought on and manage to win somehow

Our fleet recked the english fleets

With smaller ships

We won against the Spanish too

Even our wamen were hardcore fighters

doubt

See Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer

Fought the spanish on the walls of Haarlem with a broadsword

One person?

With the rest of the garrison presumably

Folklore exaggerates her story quite a bit

yeah, it usually does when it comes to female "fighters"

@Kalandros nederlander?

@galesteppes yeah

Women can fight pretty well to be fair, if they are trained.

Never forget tulipmania

@EnderOctanus agreed, I wouldn’t want to mess with an Israeli woman that has military training for example

no they can't
