Castillian War/Perang Kastila (Brunei vs Spain)

Glad the Spanish did not leave any legacy there. Good on the people of Brunei

[Autrigón]

Well if we take in consideration that the Spaniards were only 400 soldiers, despite of that they conquered the capital of Brunei and themselves decided to abandon the city because they began to have local diseases...yeah congratulations Brunei

It's funny how Iberians never want to admit their defeat. The only reason you were successful in the Americas, is because the the natives did not have immunity to old world diseases and had more primitive weapons, but when the weapons are somewhat even odds, the odds are often more fair.

There's not really such a thing as unfairness in war. All that matters is accomplishing your objectives.

True, but Iberians clearly had an advantage in the Americas, which they did not have in the old world and that was old world diseases.

What defeat are you talking? militarily Spain defeated Brunei, and:

Notwithstanding their retreat from Brunei, Spain managed to keep Brunei from regaining a foothold in Luzon
