How many times has the British monarchy gone to war with itself?

[Marchegiano]

Like Grenada in 83. US, Jamaica, and Barbados vs USSR, Cuba, and Grenada.

Queen Liz was queen of Jamaica, Barbados, and Grenada at the time.



Just curious, I don't have a point or angle. It's weird to have a communist monarchy nation anyway, two nations with the same monarch going to war is also pretty weird. Just curious if there's more like that.

The Irish Independence War comes to mind.

Red - Which country is that?

Blue - Damn. You still in Dunce mode. So all my explanations have been for naught?

How many times have I told you that she is ceremonial? She doesn't call any of the shots.

Maybe that's why it is weird to you because you are solidly ignorant.

[Clegg]

Not quite the same but most of the European monarchies involved in WWI were descended from the same group of inbred Anglo-German royals.

Grenada

The ceremonial role is pretty damn obvious when you've two nation at war with the same queen. I don't understand your hang up. I didn't mention it because it's besides the point. If it isn't name another situation where two nation who had the same monarch were at war. FFS.

Oh no ****? I legitimately did not know they acknowledged the queen through that.

Ireland was under the monarchy until early 1900's. To this day Northern Ireland is still part of the United Kingdom. Whether they acknowledged a queen during or prior to their war for independence I'm not certain.

Red - India and Pakistan?

Purple - why the hell would that be surprising? The queen had no control over them. I am glad you finally see my point. Hence, the big deal you made over what Barbados did was a bit silly.

Cop-out, that's not even Irish independence. Pakistan was hardly a nation.

Because most former colonies are the trade partners of their former colonists and fellow former colonies. The latter half is just a false equivalency but I do think it's cute your memory only ever seems sharp when you're kissing your own ass.

Not really. Jamaica and Grenada didn't have significant trading.

Blue - You giving me my props or not?

I due my props on the queen issue and the Latino issue, right?
