I stayed peaceful for the next few years, watering the plants in Ostprueßen when the Russians told me to leave my ranch and get out of here!

It's not about the size of the army, it's about the pride. The willpower and determination. I didn't lose a single battle, and none of my forts were occupied.

Also...
I must correct myself.
The British sent a large amount of soldiers. A very large army.

Bah, nonsense. The Bishop of Rome is a heretic as notified by Papal decree of 1064. Emperor Constantine the Great himself bestowed the Western Roman Empire on Pope Sylvester, making the Pope the source of all legal power in the western empire. More importantly, the Pope is the vicar of Christ and Peter, and he holds the Keys of Heaven. Did Jesus not say unto Peter that Peter's laws would ring true on Earth as they would in Heaven? The Pope has the only legislative ability in the world and all secular rulers receive their power through him. In fact, the donation of Constantine is merely the acknowledgement of a factual reality that had existed since Jesus gave the keys unto Peter.

Pope pulled a Filioque, which makes him a heretic. Also the Western Empire collapsed in 451 and became shitty Italy, whereas the Eastern Empire lasted for a good 1058 years and became glorious Greece and Rossiya! (Plus, the Pope became a heretic in 1054, which is 10 years before the papal decree.)

The emperor in Constantinople is a vassal of the Patriarch of Rome! Your thought is heretical! Fililoque is the true teaching of the Bible!
