"The rest of the bodies of Marines created a posteriori, were inspired by the Spanish model, mimicking some details like the red stripes of the dress uniform pants."

D-Day of course, The largest amphibious landing. United States of America does not know what a long and bloody naval battle...

In 1885, after the crisis of the Carolinas, in which Germany tried to snatch the archipelago to Spain, Isaac Peral was felt obligated to inform his superiors that he had resolved the challenge of underwater navigation. After a thorough analysis of your project by the most qualified scientists Expansion that school, they gave their approval to be transferred to the then Minister of Marine, Admiral Pezuela, who received the project with warm enthusiasm. Unfortunately, successive ministers who succeeded him, showed indifference or outright hostility (Admirals Rodriguez de Arias and Beranger).
With the support of the Queen Regent María Cristina, the submarine was finally launched on September 8, 1888. However, despite the success of the testing of the spacecraft, the authorities rejected the invention of time and encouraged a campaign of defamation and vilification against the inventor, which he had no choice but to apply to remove from the Navy and try to clarify to the public the truth about what happened.
Are you forget the black legend?
Spain is the OLD MUNDIAL ORDER. Church, inquisition.
England and Holand combat us not with sword and ships, they fought us with ink.
Greeting From Spain, Europe.
