玫瑰战争、西班牙王位继承战争、布尔战争,当然还有第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战,但詹金斯之耳战争,现在听起来是一场奇怪的战争!"!

第一个问题是,詹金斯究竟是谁,他的耳朵和什么都有关系?

上述 "耳朵 "的主人罗伯特-詹金斯是一位英国船长,据说他的耳朵被登上他的 "丽贝卡 "号的西班牙海岸警卫队切断。

为什么,历史并没有说明。

当詹金斯带着腌在瓶子里的耳朵回到英国时,对国家产生了巨大的影响。

当被问及'你做了什么?'詹金斯回答说,'我把我的灵魂交给上帝,把我的事业交给我的国家。

确实是很好的话语!

詹金斯的 "耳朵 "引起了国家的想象,这个干瘪的物体的力量是巨大的,并成为英国人骄傲的象征。

罗伯特-詹金斯向首相罗伯特-沃波尔展示他被割下的耳朵。

1738年的讽刺漫画,描绘了首相罗伯特-沃波尔在面对西班牙人的切片耳朵时晕倒,这导致了1739年的詹金斯之耳战争。 大英博物馆,伦敦

英国人的态度是,必须给西班牙人一个教训,不能让他们割掉英国人的耳朵!"!

但是,它真的被西班牙人切断了吗,还是他在酒吧的争吵中 "失去 "了它?

我们永远不会知道,但这只 "耳朵 "在1739年引发了西班牙和英国之间的战争,因此这场战争被称为詹金斯之耳的战争。

毫无疑问,这只 "耳朵 "一定是历史上最著名的一只。
