Post your favorite military blunders in history. I'll start with the classic:>Decide to invade Russia>Don't bother bringing winter clothes or enough food to last through the winter.
>>18725020But he invaded on the day Summer started and was back in France by Christmas that year
>>18725020Napoleon is such a fucking retard, I hate how he is called the greatest. To be the greatest you have to be undefeated like Alexander. Just so people know how pathetic Napoleon was, after failing to make the Russians surrender at Moscow, he started carrying a suicide pill, he was that scared. Great men wouldn't carry a suicide pill, that alone proves he is a pathetic coward.
>>18725020The Battle of DunbarThe Scottish Army had gathered on a hill and fortified itself. Cromwell was to the point of almost ceding peace to Scotland until the Scottish Army rebelled and attempted to attack Cromwell which lead to most dying or being enslaved in Jamaica and Scotland being annexed into England for the next decadeCromwell might have invaded another time and it wouldn't have stopped his Irish campaign but still it would have stopped the accension of Charles II so actually would have helped his cause
>>18725020Napoleon just didn't realize how big Russia was, how cold it was, or how bad its roads were.
>>18725029>was back in France by Christmas that yearMinus half a million soldiers.
>>18725020General Polk's invasion of Kentucky, the Battle of Big Black River Bridge (1863), and the Battle of Westport (1864)
>>18725036>greatest you have to be undefeated like AlexanderGen. Alexander Suvorov is goated
>>18725020Julian 200iq keikaku to harness an unused canal to sneak attack ctesiphon only for him to find out he had no means to take the heavier fortified than expected capital and become trapped in the middle of persia without a plan B.To make it worse the flooded canal caused a malaria outbreak due to increased mosquito population which crippled his army even further.
>>18725020The 2nd French Intervention in Mexico is pretty funny
>>18725020Battle of Flodden hill.
>>18725281>Lost to pregnant Spaniards queenI guess Scotland deserve annexed by England?
>>18725457There weren't annexed at the time. But I can remember reading somewhere that this defeat was devasting for Scotland, the King and some of the most powerful people in the nation were killed.It's one of the reasons why radical Protestantism took hold so easily in Scotland as there was no strong monarch to hold it back.
>>18725471I never said fully annexation but slow decline on Scottish militarily same way as Sweden.
>>18725081So just like the Germans?
>>18725020The Peninsular War was a bigger blunder. It was pointless and only proved Napoleon was willing to betray his allies at the slight chance
Napoleon failed in Russia because the Russians applied the Fabian Strategy and refused to give him battle, and denied him every bit of forage on his advance to Moscow. Not because he "invaded in winter" or any such nonsense. So tired of ignoramuses who don't know anything about these wars running their mouths. Napoleon got played by superior strategy, he didn't lose half a million men because he forgot to check the fucking weather.
>>18725648He just wanted a relative of the French monarch on the Spanish throne to create a contiguous French dynasty along the western border of Europe. Nothing bad ever happened when a French monarch tried to put his relative on the Spanish throne before. Nope. Never. Certainly no proto world wars. He had every reason to expect the rest of Europe would accept this without a fight.
>>18725676It was kinda a loss-loss situation. Charles IV was a faithful ally but unpopular with the people and Ferdinand VII was popular but extremely retarded and unironically evil. Best choice was to back Ferdinand VII on his coup and bribe him instead of crowning an open freemason liberal as King of the most catholic country in Europe
South America has at least three worthy contenders>Paraguay random chimpout and beatdown >secret pact between Peru and Bolivia to protect Bolivian birdshit from predatory Chileans >Bolivia again going at it with Paraguay over a fucking mosquito marsh nobody really wanted
>>18725775>Bolivia again going at it with Paraguay over a fucking mosquito marsh nobody really wantedthey thought there was oil there
>>18725036Alexander was literally defeated by a fucking diarrhea. Guy was bitchmade.Plus he was fighting sandpeople, it's like playing on very easy.
>>18725775The Paraguay one worked in the long run cause nowadays they managed to convince everyone they were the victims
>>18725020The Battle of Karansebes always gets a chuckle out of me.
>>18725780>there may be oil in them there marshes, let's fight very retardedly for itYou're not really helping their case there If they thought there was oil, they should have gone full mobilization as the German autist insisted. Instead they half-assed the whole thing and got shown up by a neighbor that had /3 of the population and a much smaller economy. They sent high altitude Natives to fight in the hot and humid Chaco. And had no plan B for Paraguay's mighty fleet of 2 (two) riverboats. No matter which way you slice it, it looks bad.
>>18725668Taking St. Petersburg was theoretically smarter, but the city was heavily fortified so he didn't attempt it.
>>18725140>>18725029More soldiers died going into Russia than in the retreat in winter so.....
>>18725036After Persia Alexander was just steamrolling weird manlet brown people who had never fought a real war before and collapsed like houses of cards. They basically celebrated his arrival.
>>18725036I’d say Caesar was the greatest in terms of balanced measuring, considering his conquests, peer level opponents, and long term legacy. His downfall came from treachery.
>>18725020If Napoleon had wintered in Smolensk would things have gone differently for the grand army or were they doomed as soon as they crossed the Neman?
>>18725668The Russians did give battle at Borodino before Moscow, and there was plenty of fighting in the retreat.
>Sui dynasty being established and then immediately collapsing after a failed special military operation in Korea>Toyotomi's special military operation in Korea

>>18726993*Hiluxes in the desert
>>18726993Dogger Bank be like: Nearly WWI between Russia/Germany or France vs UK/Japan
Decide to invade Spain and overthrow their monarchy in order to put his brother on the throne. Under estimate Spanish nationalism, pride and religious sentiments but thinking enlightened principles and reform would be enough to endear them
The Japanese under estimating the Soviet army in Manchuria in 1939 thinking well if we beat the Russians in 1905 we can easily do it again
The Battle of Nicopolis, what the fuck was wrong with French knights?>no idea where I am>no idea where I'm going>no idea what's happening>but I know I must chargeThe amount of hubris the crusaders had in that battle is truly breathtaking.
>>18726883When you declare war on your three richer and more powerful neighbors at the same time, you can't really claim there was some strategic thought behind it.
>>18727269It worked out for them in the First Crusade.
>>18727269Frankish chivalry trained their entire lives to charge gloriously to their death.
>>18725960Sogdians put up a decent fight
>>18727269Or the Polish at Varna trying to larp Alexander at Gaugamela
>>18727322Economic sea access is a must-have from the Paraguayan point of view.
>>18727377There are ways to get sea access. Paraguay chose the most retarded one.

>>18727391China repeatedly conquered and raped Mongolia before the Mongol empire existed.Qin and Han dynasty China conquered Inner Mongolia, Qin general Meng Tian ethnically cleansed Xiongnu from the Ordos loop in Inner Mongolia.Han dynasty general Dou Xian destroyed the Northern xiongnu in Outer Mongolia, inscribing the Yanran inscriptions, driving the Xiongnu to Europe where they became Huns who raped your ancestors Tang dynasty conquered Turkic Khaganate in Outer Mongolia.The Orkhon inscriptions in Turkic in Outer Mongolia literally say the Chinese made the Turks into their slaves. The Turks moved to Anatolia to rape your ancestorsChina ruled Vietnam for 1,000 years and ruled Lelang commandery in Korea for 400 years.The Dutch spent years fighting against Aboriginals in Taiwan, the reason the Dutch were in Taiwan was because China violently expelled the Dutch from the Pescadores (Penghu in 1624)Chinese then defeated and crushed the Dutch in Taiwan in 1662, mass crucifying Dutch prisoners and taking Dutch women as concubines.Tang dynasty China conquered Outer Mongolia and ruled it as Protectorate general to Pacify the north, after conquering the Eastern Turkic Khaganate in 630Tang dynasty China also ruled "Manchuria" as a protectorateMing dynasty China conquered and ruled Manchuria as the Nurgan regional military commission and as the Jianzhou Jurchen guard.Ming dynasty had Jurchen (Manchu) eunuch slaves like Yishiha and sliced Jurchen chief Wang Gao to death (Nurhaci's relative)Nurhaci founded the Later Jin (Qing) after the Ming dynasty massacred Nurhaci's father and grandfather in one of its regular punitive expeditions in "Manchuria".
>>18727391>>18727465The Mongols conquered and raped all the way to Romania and Baghdad and Mongol dynasties ruled in Crimea in Europe and Iraq centuries longer than China, the Ilkhanate and Jalayarids and Crimean Khanate.Han Chinese conquered and ruled and raped Mongolia CENTURIES before the Mongol empire, the Tang dynasty conquered all of Mongolia in 630 when it defeated the Eastern Turkic Khaganate and Han dynasty conquered the Xiongnu and the Qin dynasty conquered the Xiongnu in the ordos loop of Inner Mongolia under Meng Tian.Han Chinese also conquered and ruled Manchus for 200 years during the Ming dynasty as the Nurgan regional military commision and Jianzhou jurchen guard.>EuropeansEuropeans never conquered and ruled china. China defeated the Dutch and Portuguese in every single battle while the Dutch and Portuguese raped and colonized half of the other coastal Asian countries.
>>18727391>>18727465China defeated the Portuguese and Dutch East India company in every single naval battle.Battle of Tamão (Tunmen) 1521Battle of Veniaga (Shancaowan) 1522Battle of Liaoluo Bay (1633)At fukuda bay in 1565, outnumbered Portuguese and a few Chinese merchants blasted numerically superior Japanese samurai to hell and curbstomped them.In the 1610 Nossa Senhora da Graça incident outnumbered Portuguese and black slaves blasted hundreds of numerically superior Japanese samurai to hell.at the battle of Noryang point in 1598,numerically superior Japanese were slaughtered by Chinese ships.Meanwhile Ming Chinese naval forces defeated the Portuguese in their first battles (battle of Tunmen/Tamao in 1521, battle of Shancaowan/Veniaga in 1522) and captured Portuguese muskets and breach loading cannon and were able to duplicate the weapons themselves unlike the dumbass Japanese black smith.Ming China defeated the Dutch East India Company in multiple battles including in Fujian in 1622, Pescadores/Penghu in 1624, Liaoluo bay in 1633, Taiwan at Fort Provintia and Fort Zeelandia in 1661-1662.Japan begged the Dutch East India Company to provide them with naval ridesJapan gave Dutch East India Company and Chinese merchants, Japanese girls as concubines and prostitutes, in exchange for Dutch technology like how to build air guns.After the Meiji restoration, pro-Jewish Anglo Saxons (who had prime Ministers like Jew Benjamin Disraeli) build Meiji Japan's naval fleet and helped them form their military in the Archibald Douglass Mission, in the Sempill mission, Lord sempill and british helped build aircraft carriers and aircraft for the Japanese and taught them how to conduct aerial and naval warfare.Jewish bankers like Schiff funded the Japanese military in the russo Japanese war when Japan's finances were in total collapse.
>>18727468Japan lost every war with China before the 19th century Meiji restoration where Japan funded its British built navy with Jewish loans and selling Japanese teenage girls as prostitutes (karayuki-san) to foreign men including Chinese men.>>18727391
>>18726149>>18726887Han dynasty China conquered Gojoseon in Korea and ruled it as the four commanderies for centuries including Lelang Commandery Gojoseon was already ruled by Han Chinese Wei Man (Wi Man).Xin dynasty China killed the Goguryeo KingCao Wei dynasty China crushed Goguryeo and sacked its capital HwandoMurong Xianbei raped Koreans in Buyeo and Buyeo had to beg Western Jin dynasty China to free Buyeo slaves from MurongMurong Xianbei in Former Yan again raped Goguryeo and sacked it's capital and took its people and Queen mother as sex slaves.Sui dynasty lost just one war and then Gookrea claims they are a military superpower after getting raped for centuries

This is not reconnoisance; it is battle. The skirmishers deployed and well up, now the main line advances. Out from the trees on a dog-trot springs a battalion. It is going to try that griddle of death. The men dash valiantly on, agile fellows, intense as[76] fanatics. Now the hundred field cannon come into play. Most are Chinese of ancient date, some are modern, rim-firing. Smoke fills the plain. It is difficult to see. The torrent of lead is on. Snatched through the noise of firing you can hear great cries; they grow spasmodic, then cease. The firing slows. Soon only the automatic pops are heard. The smoke drifts off. The foremost man is there on the wire, gutted. He hangs, a frightful mass, limp on the barbs. Here and there a poor fellow is crawling, as you have seen some worm trodden on vainly seek its hole. Not a man of the battalion has survived. A thousand brave, faithful soldiers are gone. So this is civilized warfare!

Despite being defended by no more than 400 men with antiquated artillery, the Fourth Division failed on two attempts to breach its gates. Two battalions from the First Division attacked independently at 05:30 on 25 May 1904, finally breaching the defenses and taking the town.[4]>With his flank thus secure, General Oku could then commence the main assault on the entrenched Russian forces on Nanshan Hill. The assault was postponed a day due to the weather. On 26 May 1904, Oku began with prolonged artillery barrage from Japanese gunboats offshore, followed by infantry assaults by all three of his divisions. The Russians, with mines, Maxim machine guns and barbed wire obstacles, inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese during repeated assaults. By 18:00, after nine attempts, the Japanese had failed to overrun the firmly entrenched Russian positions. Oku had committed all of his reserves, and both sides had used up most of their artillery ammunition.[4]https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=RLViDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA75#v=onepage&q&f=false

>>18727808 By the time the Spanish finally landed at Kinsale, the war was already as good as lost.The English fielded 18,000 troops, an enormous army by the standards of the time and had heavy cavalry vs pony mounted irish. And most of his army were scottish mercinaries who bankrupted him.
>>18727849Not at all the case. By Mountjoy's own admission, a defeat at Kinsale seemed incredibly likely and the swell in numbers of English troops had mostly become about sustaining their seemingly endless losses to disease and desertion. Had the Spanish not landed the war likely would have been decided in Ulster earlier on, but the situation at Kinsale genuinely could have gone either way.An Irish victory at Kinsale would have been beyond disastrous for the English side.>most of his army were scottish mercinaries who bankrupted him.Not true, they made up a significant portion of it particularly early on but the Redshank factor was lessened as Gaelic troops began to adopt limited pike and shot strategies.But again, Kinsale was categorically a blunder and to this day every historian I've come across has been perplexed by both O'Neill and O'Donnell's moves that day. Most refer to Cromwell's landing as the biggest military miracle in the history of England conquering Ireland but in my view its easily Kinsale.
>>18725036Alexander has Aura to the extreme. But his undefeated streak is overrated.His Father gave him a turbo-charged army that if dropped into the high middle ages still would have won field battles against armies of equal size despite a 1500 year tech advantage.He faced off against the coalition of the brown, obviously he's going to stomp them.He was heroic, courageous, absolutely a good tactician and strategist, deserving of "The Great" maybe the only one deserving of "The Great", but to say its because hes undefeated is an overstatement.

>>18726041I'd say Napoleon is carried by having a generation of brilliant officers. You throw Napoleon into France during the Seven Years War and he'd be far less impressive. Caesar carried his generals and so many great commanders turned to shit the moment they left Caesar's command.Also Caesar shows a level of strategic brilliance that few commanders can match, maybe Alexander was a better tactician, and maybe on balanced terrain with similarly sized armies Alexander would have defeated Caesar, but Caesar would have outmarched Alexander, built a wall to cut him off, severed his supply lines, forced him into a swamp where a quarter of his army dies, and finally faced a diseased, exhausted, hungry Macedonian army attacking uphill against his army. In essence by the time Caesar fought a battle he almost certain to win based on the conditions of the armies and battlefields.

His only real feat is defeating an empire who hadn't been able to wage a successful offensive war in almost a century who were repeatedly humiliated by a group of 10,000 Greek mercenaries with no supply lines well before Alexander invaded. Philip probably would have been more successful at conquering Persia and have been able to adapt his army to effectively fight poos so his troops don't mutiny and later murder him at the prospect of fighting more poopoo people.
