Our resident ethnographer, Bob W, will correct me if I'm wrong, but the British army has traditionally consisted of German (Anglo-Saxon) men led by French (Norman) officers.
So no wonder we stymied them.
Trying to wage an expensive war on a far away continent with an unenthusiastic army probably didn't help.
