"France and England"
"18th century"
For crying out loud.
It's Britain.
Stop fucking forgetting about the 3 other countries.
Do I go around saying that the war of 1812 was between New York and Wales?
Of course not, because it was between the USA, and the BRITISH Empire, not the ENGLISH Empire.
I fucking hate ignorant people who think that the other 3 nations contributed absolutely nothing.
If James VII hadn't became King of England (and Wales) and Scotland, there would not have been a USA (butterflies), or a British (obviously) Empire.
