wow Dutch destroyed 15 ships and converted the military victory into a ceasefire ! Napoleon, Katuzov and Duke of Wellington never achieved or even dreamed of such a glory!!!

Despite dominating the world trade routes just like Portuguese your country never "terrorized" anybody. Losing all your sovereignty, rights and national freedom in 5 days time is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_in_World_War_II what I would call terrorized

Ermm I'm not Dutch, I'm English

And catching the upcoming naval superpower pretty much with its pants around its ankles and sailing away with their flagship probably comes under the category of humiliation.

So from which sore-arsed country do you hail?

England

Do you even comprehend definition of a raid or any tactical understanding of naval warfare of 1600s-1800s? Its not hard to catch the "upcoming naval superpower" when you are already in possession of more advanced more maneuverable vessels perfect for raids, traps and vigardos given that amount of ships/men was pretty even.

I hail from Republic of Ohio

I will put the BSO of this thread

I suddenly feel very bad, I should never have expected a hillbilly inbred to be able to follow an even half-comprehensive discussion

Yes, that's where all the hillbillies are...
