Admiral William Brown in Argentina also known as as Guillermo Brown born 22 June 1777 died 3 March 1857.
William Brown was born in little Irish town of Foxford, County Mayo. When hes family emigrated to Philadelphia. If they stayed in Ireland they would face famine and unjust treatment by the British like many at that time.
His navy life started while he was a young boy, Merchant ship captain hired him to be a cabin boy, low rank but it was on the naval promotion ladder where he well earn the highest ranks in the navy.
For the next 10 years he got his captain rank. Also was press-ganged into a British ship and forced to fight for the British crown.
When he was 32 he escaped to Germany, later to England and married Elizabeth Chitty. Later that year he moved to Buenos Aries. Next few years he worked as a trader between Buenos Aries and Montevideo and inland of South America.
He purchased a schooner called "Industria" and became main trader between Buenos Aries and Montevideo was the first such venture in South America. At this point, the Spanish colonial government stepped in, sensing a threat to its mercantile interests.
Spanish ships destroyed Brown's schooner, and took drastic effects to nullify Argentina's attempts to defend her coasts against Spanish raiders. Argentina provided ships to defend it's coast and appointed William Brown Lieutenant Colonel and Commander-in-Chief of the Argentine fleet.
I don't want to get into the boring details of the wars he fought but here is the list of them:
War with Spain 1814.
War with Brazil 1825-1827.
War with Uruguay 1845-1850.
In 1847, Admiral Brown visited his native Foxford accompanied by his daughter.
Admiral William Brown's legacy
Brown is regarded as one of the heroes of Argentine history, to such extent that he has named after him: several ships of the Argentine Navy, an Argentine naval base, three towns, 320 schools, six football clubs and about 1100 streets. A public park in Foxford under development is also to be named after him. He has been commemorated on postage stamps issued both by Argentina and by the Irish Republic.
Argentine government:
"With a life of permanent service to the national wars that our homeland has fought since its independence, William Brown symbolized the naval glory of the Argentine Republic"
General Bartolomé Mitre:
"Brown in his lifetime, standing on the quarterdeck of his ship, was worth a fleet to us"
The Argentinean destroyer ARA Almirante Brown:
Comments
Instead of doing partisan historic articles, you should maybe adress officialy the fact that many of Saoirse members went to PTO the Patriots Party. How does the PP of Saoirse accept that fact? Do you discredit your members that did it or do you endorse them? Your mutism on this matter makes me think you endorse the PTO that happened.
I was not aware that Saoirse party was accused of any PTO activity through official channels.
I have seen some shouts but i don't see any importance in that.
I see shouts of all kind of thieves and massacre promoters all the time but i choose to ignore them.
If Saoirse HQ or Saoirse president receives any kind of accusation Saoirse party will respond.
Thank you for your concern Damhnaic.
How Damhnaic accept what Padraig, a member of kunts, said about Vukovar victims?
that alone is good enough reason not only to PTO kunts but to erase the party since no one from the kunt party officially condemned that filth comment, wich means the support that.
3 month of savage bombing where a number of launched granates was so great they crash into each while still in the air.
300 patient from vukovar hospital executed
plus a huge number of civilians and defenders killed after this beautiful town was conquered.
And what Padraig said about those brave and innocent people?
We are talking about rl lifes here!
But some bloody "PTO" in virtual game is much worst then 10 vukovar.for sure.
You do not answer.
@Kurgan, I am not aware what Padraig, or anyone for that matter, said about that Vukovar thing (event I never heard about anyway and I know nothing about). Since I know nothing about this I, obviously, won't comment.
selective memory Damhnaic....are we?
Or you are some amateur who makes bold statements without full info?
Here...let me remind you:
http://i50.tinypic.com/8xmusx.jpg
Selective memory? It is the first time I see these logs. But, as I said before, I do not know what that Vukovar even is, I do not know the implications of it, so I won't comment.
He talks about slaughtering rl people and calling them pigs..that should be enough for you even if you never heard of Vukovar
and this logs has been in many shouts and several aricles in last few days.
So before you go out and scream you opinions do your bloody homework......
Could someone please do an article to tell noobs who the fuck everyone is? There is no Padraig in the search. Why did everyone in this county change their names. I guess it doesn't matter since it's a bunch of pissing on each other all the time.

"So before you go out and scream you opinions do your bloody homework......" I didn't scream my opinion on the matter because I didn't do my homework, like it's the third time I'm telling you kurgan = /
My only concern was to know if the Saoirse PP endorse or not his party members that went to PTO another party.
when someone say something what padraig have said who gives a Fk aobut fking PTO!
that was much worst then trolling and if kunt do not stand apart from padraig then to hell with them!
And i will openly help in any PTO of kunts in the future until kunts make themselfs clear about this!
here educate yourself a little:

Hail Ireland!
Ireland and friends above all..o7
moze to i bolje, posebno engleski jezik.
evo ti vote za trud.
There is more history / lessons in the comments, than in the article.
ah another recruitment article for Saoirse,
good to see you can copy and paste to make articles
"I was not aware that Saoirse party was accused of any PTO activity through official channels"
You have been officially accused and you know that for a fact, Marinko admitted that Saoirse and Multies helped PTO our party.
"My only concern was to know if the Saoirse PP endorse or not his party members that went to PTO another party."
Damh, they only do recruitment and PTO's by accusing other parties of being xenophobic to make them look bad while they PTO other parties.
They have no idea about Saoirse principles, tbh they have no idea about Irish principles they are a disgrace. They do anything that will improve their party.
I first off appreciate the time you took in this history and the last history article. I'm planning on implementing shorter history pieces for my paper soon.
I really think this PTO was an individual act. I'm not saying members of Saorse probably didn't enjoy it once it happened. But I don't think they expected it. Just look at the past accusations of the kunts. The PP of Saorse repeatedly stated that he thought that shady business was being done, and was ticked that they kept taking members from Saorse. The pats were the fastest growing party, and Saorse wasn't happy it was happening at their expense.
Then it came to the media that many of these new members were actually just multis. (NOT all of the ones that were accused, but rapid accusations are expected) Jack came here before shit rolled over with Psych0. It's very possible before one of the multis ran, he did for the hell of it. Pissed off at the insults towards him, he did whatever he needed to do in order to win. (possible and if so, not admirable but understandable)
That is my take on this.

I want to point out to Ireland, Saoirse has lost all its Irish members, all the ones who were there from its start like Seanan and Stilpo.
😁 if this isn't a clear signal of what these fools are about I don't know what is.
They haven't a breeze about Irish principles and they use PTO's and disgraceful accusations as recruitment tools, they do nothing to serve Ireland.
Marcus in your shouts you were saying you are doing everything there is to do for our glorious land..
So when you return 1 000 000 cc to the treasury you will have any say in it's politics if it was up to me..
I hope Ireland will understand and recognize you as a thief you are..
Have fun kid..❤
Uljanov, can you answer a very simple yes or no question? Do you condemn the Saoirse members that PTOed The patriots?
Damhnaic if you have any questions please contact Saoirse HQ or Saoirse PP..try to contact me over official channels on the IRC..
Also please try to be calm in this hard times our great country is going trough..
We have a hard struggle against xenophobia, massacre promoters and thieves..our party lost some of our most valuable members in last couple of weeks and it is not easy to get back on track with our political ambitions..
Thank you for understanding..
"I want to point out to Ireland, Saoirse has lost all its Irish members, all the ones who were there from its start like Seanan and Stilpo."
Just for the record, I was not technically here from the "start". I was born in the eUS and lived there for 4 months, and then lived in eBelgium for 8 months before finally settling in Ireland after a YEAR of playing this game. Granted I have been a member of this community for twice that long now, but if I had been treated back then the way that uljanov and others are being treated now, there is a good chance that I would not still be here today. The only real difference I can see is that I have never accused you or your friends of theft. That, and of course my first language is English.
Just a little food for thought.
^this
My apologies Marcus, after re-reading your comment I can see that you probably meant that I had been there from the Start of Saoirse, not from the start of my own eRep career.
But even if that is the case I must clarify that I was not actually there from the start but was only a member for a few months (albeit a very active member). For the vast majority of my time in Ireland I have remained very deliberately unaffiliated with any party. It is also important to mention that my recent departure had nothing to do with the current leadership/situation.

Another recruitment article for Saoirse, who are they labeling as racist or xenophobic now just to gain a few members.
Pathetic.
If you have any sense and wanna join a proper party with real proven leaders of Ireland join the Patriots.
Padraig has not denied that statements!
He has said sorry for them, he said he only said it in the heat of the moment and we all say stuff we regret in the heat of the moment.
😁 If you deny that you ever said anything in the heat of the moment that you regret you are lying to yourself. Every human says something that they regret.
@FitoEleven
With great pride i say this..i applaud your decisions to join our great country and i will do anything in my power to help Argentina and Argentine where ever i found them needing my help and help from my few and proud friends..o7
