why did you want to go there? It was indigenous lands, Spain sent 30,000 firearms, 300 cannons, closed the Strait of Gibraltar so that the United Kingdom would not pass through, closed the Caribbean, blocked the shipment of English reinforcements, conquered Florida, sent twice as many soldiers as France, the same amount of money,

Spain D Bernardo de Galvez in Louisiana Admiral Luis de Cordova His best remembered actions were the capture of two British convoys totalling 79 ships between 1780 and 1782, including the capture of 55 ships from a convoy composed of Indiamen
The USA became independent thanks to Spain, although France was the one that spent the most in the war both in men and in resources, the Spanish war actions were the key. The taking of Pensacola, the conquest of the Bahamas, Honduras and Campeche, the conquest of Menorca and the great site of Gibraltar. England surrendered not by battle of Yorktown, it was by Spain could have take Gibraltar, Jamaica and even invade England, to avoid losing the rest of its colonies, especially India, was that England signed peace.
Result...... The cost of developing the thirteen colonies (it had been a financial burden) was removed, and within a few years exports from Britain quickly surpassed previous colonial figures. Holland broke its treaty of friendship with Britain to make financial gains selling war munitions to the Rebels but ends up at a loss. The French are bordering on bankruptcy which leads to a revolution. Despite Spain declining to recognise the independence of the USA , until 1783, the result was a disaster for her own empire. Four years after the loss of the thirteen colonies, the First Fleet sets sail to establish a new group of British colonies..........now called Australia. One hundred thousand American loyalists move further north one year after independence and establish even more British colonies in what became Canada. Wow, what a great way to lose a war.

@@ylmazsurgun9274 I’m not sure what you’re trying to say but the independent United States slaughtered native Americans across the entire region in their push west whilst Britain set up large native reserves for them to live peacefully and trade. So if you’re implying that Britain was worse for the natives you are very wrong. From the Native American perspective, the greater evil won this war. Native Americans also preferred Britain to France and Spain, and for good reason. Britain always did try to preserve native culture instead of trampling over it. America were only interested in bloodstained money and land, where-as every one of their allies suffered disasters by helping them achieve it. The outcome of the American revolution is the result of stunning strategic incompetence by three major world powers, but it was a fortunate outcome for the USA. Britain made all of the USA’s allies in this war suffer in the decades that followed and Spain suffered directly at the hands of the USA aswell.
now small things that were very important then. some details of many. Do you know Malaga in Spain? his cathedral has only one tower because the money for the second was used to help the revolutionaries. The Spanish ladies of Havana delivered part of their jewelry for military supplies of the revolutionaries in Yorktown etc...
Spanish Empire: funded the American revolution and provided huge help logistically providing free pass of powder and guns through the Mississippi river. Also provide military assistant in the south. British Empire: Provided military and diplomatic assistant in the Spanish American territories, mostly in South America (Argentina, Chile, Peru etc...) almost at the same time. THIS IS HOW THE EMPIRES PLAY GAMES.
@@cseijifja A couple things. You can't see all this part of history without understanding what was happening in Europe. Spain, France and England were the super powers who were trying all the time to find balance of power in Europe. When the independence movement started in Spanish America, Napoleon invaded Spain with a lie saying that they were trying to get into Portugal (Very old ally of Britain and enemy of Spain). So, many in Spanish America that saw this also saw a big opportunity to get power. As I said it is more complicated.

It was before the dawn of September 18, 1776. Great Britain and the 13 American colonies were in the thick of the Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord had been fought. The Declaration of Independence had been signed. It’d be another three days before the British Invasion of New York City - which is remembered as The Great Fire of 1776. Get this issue, plus our next three-Issue 57 (our mammoth twenty-first anniversary issue), Issue 58, and Issue 59-by subscribing today. Issue 56 delivers new work from Michelle Tea, Jose Antonio... But this was a day in history unlike any other. When the British Army’s ships docked at what is now known as Jamaica Bay - the lagoon on the southern side of Long Island - the Minutemen were ready and waiting. The militia hid in the long lines at customs and the multitude of Hudson News’ stands, amongst the travelers fumbling to gather their belongings after going through security, as well as the ones asking if this was the terminal with Shake Shack. Corners of America the British had never seen, paths they couldn’t possibly navigate. When the British marched through Terminal 2 and stopped to ask if they could order from the Delta Sky Club Menu, the Minutemen attacked from the CIBO Express. When they marched through the airport’s largest terminal, T4, our brave army men took them down hidden among the dozens of airlines and thousands of travelers rushing to make their last-minute gate change. When the Redcoats made it through the international gate at Terminal 1, the guerrilla war men surprised them from behind the racks of Saint Laurent clothing and displays of Coach handbags. Luxury goods that the British generals would predictably stop for - King George IIIwould have gone absolutely mad for the Hermes Crocodile Himalayan Birken bag. Terminal by terminal, the British Army was turned back and vanquished by our civilian colonists. Their fallen soldiers forever lost to the stampeding heard of flyers rushing to their gates or the closest option their gate had for alcohol. It was our brave soldiers of the Great American Colonies from the ’70s that bravely protected JFK at its most vulnerable hour in order to ensure that it would remain exactly as it was. Free from running on time. Free from becoming an efficient hub of international travel. Free from having a Shake Shack in every terminal. Which is why, to this day, we remember The Battle at John F. Kennedy International Airport by making sure the British Airways terminal permanently remains under construction. Because America will never be under construction from the British, ever again. God Bless the JFK AIrport.

One minor inaccuracy. New Brunswick was not separated as a separate colony until after the revolution, and was set up to provide lands for loyalists. During the revolution, NB was part of Nova Scotia.
I found this relatively surprising how few people actually died in this, I guess proportionally it was a lot more than I’m guessing, but when you consider the ~70 million people that died in WW2...
@@nogent4213 still, approx. 13.000 men in 3 million is very little. Even counting the french and spanish it doesn't even add to 20.000. On a single day in ww1 britain alone lost 40.000 men attacking the Somme.
Well the South was unique because it seemed that almost every family had a dispute or rivalry with another family. It was quite common that rather than choosing sides based on their own beliefs, they would wait and see what what their rivals choose, so that they could join the opposing side and be "justified" in crushing them.
The Tidewater aristocrats had strong ties to old England, and they were making good business in Great Britain with the tobacco and cotton market. They were hesitant on declaring their independence. The Scotch-Irish on the otherhand were a fiercely independent people who settled in the Appalachian mountains. Their way of living was simple, self sufficient and free. They were very supportive of Independence from Great Britain.
They are more conservative than the north, meaning they tend to prefer things remaining the same and are against large structural changes to the way things are run. So it’s not really funny or surprising. Hence why they wanted Britain to rule, and wanted to keep their slaves. There is, of course, no correlation between the two other than the fact that both things they wanted to keep were things that they always had, and felt more uncomfortable with change. Incase anyone does so, I’ll quickly say that to imply that there may be a connection between desiring British rulers and desiring keeping their slaves, would be wrong, as Britain historically became the first empire to abolish the slave trade and did so decades before the northern US states.
Well that was...anti-climatic. It seems that most of the fighting took place in a few isolated areas, while the rest of the country didn't see too much action. Ironic, since those isolated battles affected the whole world!
Not only that, but the casualty counts were so low - barely 20,000 over the course of the entire conflict! It's funny how most people's mental image of the war is of enormous armies clashing in hollywood-looking battles when really the whole thing was incredibly small potatoes.
I'm a direct descendant of William Dawes. He rode the midnight ride with paul revere and samuel Prescott and even evaded capture from British soldiers. His grandson Rufus Dawes was a civil war military officer for the iron brigade and fought at Gettysburg and won. His son charles g Dawes was a vice president, banker, Nobel peace prize winner, number one song writer. Sadly I come from william Dawes' runt :(
The British likely would have retained control of the Indian Reserve if not for the actions of George Rogers Clark and his band of about 150 Virginians, capturing Kaskaskia (home of the Liberty Bell of the West) and winning the Battle of Vincennes. Amazing how so few people made such an impact.

This just shows you how small and insignificant this conflict was for the GB, truly a minor skirmish, while pretty much their entire army was fighting in Europe. Sure USA would probably still one day get its independence (maybe decolonization wouldnt even happen), but the borders of the world would look soo much different today if Britain actually had army free to send there to crush the rebelion.
Technically speaking this was percentage wise, bloodiest war in both American and Canadian history. American Revolutionaries Deaths: 70,000 (2.8% of the population) Quebecois and Loyalist: 12,000 (1.5% of the population)
I noticed that the casualty figures at the end of the video are quite low. Perhaps Tigerstar is only counting patriots who fought against the British and their German mercenaries, and leaving out the fighting between patriots and loyalists.
@@unadin4583 It wasn't a major war in European terms. Britain was only semi-committed, thinking it can win easily as long as the European powers didnn't get involved. Most of the Army and Navy were left in England to defend against invasion from France, Spain and the Netheerlands, which was a very real possibbility.Parliament in Britain have the priority of defending the nation so that it could take advantage of the coming Industrial Revolution, which they knew was coming as the steam engine was already being put to work in its initial stages of deployment in several industries in Britain
@@Rowlph8888 Yes, and I don't doubt the casualty figures for the British regulars. However, my point is that much of the fighting was really between Patriots and Loyalists.

They grew by vassalizing Europe in its weakest state in its entire history after the most dramatic wars that ever happened on Earth. They didn't repay anything, they made Europe weaker and now it's about to disappear with im-migration and the american ideologies that come with it to increase the pain.
Wasn't that originally a Swedish tactic created under King Karl XII? To march forwards pretending to be unaffected by enemy bullets until one could see the white in the adversary's eyes, fire a single devastating round at close range, and charge forwards with rapiers in an attempt to break the enemy morale instantly.
Imperialist bastards! Oh wait. 39,000 in Japan. 38,000 in Germany. 23,000 in South Korea ... 289 in Thailand (probably trainers), 178 in Sinagpore (ditto, plus watching the sea lanes, monitoring pirates), 407 in Greece, 83 in Norway ... 59 in Mexico (training Mexican Marines in the drug war, "knob turners" tracking narcotraffickers), 141 in Canada (cross-training, liaison, joint watch on the Arctic Ocean and over the horizon versus Russia), 771 total in Central America (divided evenly between Honduras and El Salvador), 170 total in South America (divided between Colombia, Brazil, and Peru). Not exactly an occupation force keeping down the locals, propping up dictatorships. These are our friends and allies, present at the invitation of our allies. The rest: Must be counting US Marine guards at embassies and consulates.

"Published on Jul 5, 2019" *We were on the verge of greatness*
The USA became independent thanks to Spain, although France was the one that spent the most in the war both in men and in resources, the Spanish war actions were the key. The taking of Pensacola, the conquest of the Bahamas, Honduras and Campeche, the conquest of Menorca and the great site of Gibraltar. England surrendered not by battle of Yorktown, it was by Spain could have take Gibraltar, Jamaica and even invade England, to avoid losing the rest of its colonies, especially India, was that England signed peace.
Hahaha Spain couldn't even siege Gibraltar correctly, Britain signed the peace because it was over and there was no point continuing to fight France
Britain signed the peace treaty because nobody supported the war anymore. I once read that Britain was starting to have rebels even at home!
Bullshit. The Spanish weren’t even stable enough to take Gibraltar
Nor did they have the naval capabilities to take Britain
At the time, Spain also Declared war on England & won.

Result...... The cost of developing the thirteen colonies (it had been a financial burden) was removed, and within a few years exports from Britain quickly surpassed previous colonial figures. Holland broke its treaty of friendship with Britain to make financial gains selling war munitions to the Rebels but ends up at a loss. The French are bordering on bankruptcy which leads to a revolution. Despite Spain declining to recognise the independence of the USA , until 1783, the result was a disaster for her own empire. Four years after the loss of the thirteen colonies, the First Fleet sets sail to establish a new group of British colonies..........now called Australia. One hundred thousand American loyalists move further north one year after independence and establish even more British colonies in what became Canada. Wow, what a great way to lose a war.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say but the independent United States slaughtered native Americans across the entire region in their push west whilst Britain set up large native reserves for them to live peacefully and trade.
So if you’re implying that Britain was worse for the natives you are very wrong. From the Native American perspective, the greater evil won this war. Native Americans also preferred Britain to France and Spain, and for good reason. Britain always did try to preserve native culture instead of trampling over it. America were only interested in bloodstained money and land, where-as every one of their allies suffered disasters by helping them achieve it.
The outcome of the American revolution is the result of stunning strategic incompetence by three major world powers, but it was a fortunate outcome for the USA. Britain made all of the USA’s allies in this war suffer in the decades that followed and Spain suffered directly at the hands of the USA aswell.
Drat! If the Japanese joined the fight, a mighty army of cocked hats and horns would've been marching all the way to Philadelphia!

It was before the dawn of September 18, 1776. Great Britain and the 13 American colonies were in the thick of the Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord had been fought. The Declaration of Independence had been signed. It’d be another three days before the British Invasion of New York City - which is remembered as The Great Fire of 1776.
Get this issue, plus our next three-Issue 57 (our mammoth twenty-first anniversary issue), Issue 58, and Issue 59-by subscribing today. Issue 56 delivers new work from Michelle Tea, Jose Antonio...
But this was a day in history unlike any other.
When the British Army’s ships docked at what is now known as Jamaica Bay - the lagoon on the southern side of Long Island - the Minutemen were ready and waiting.
The militia hid in the long lines at customs and the multitude of Hudson News’ stands, amongst the travelers fumbling to gather their belongings after going through security, as well as the ones asking if this was the terminal with Shake Shack. Corners of America the British had never seen, paths they couldn’t possibly navigate.
When the British marched through Terminal 2 and stopped to ask if they could order from the Delta Sky Club Menu, the Minutemen attacked from the CIBO Express. When they marched through the airport’s largest terminal, T4, our brave army men took them down hidden among the dozens of airlines and thousands of travelers rushing to make their last-minute gate change. When the Redcoats made it through the international gate at Terminal 1, the guerrilla war men surprised them from behind the racks of Saint Laurent clothing and displays of Coach handbags. Luxury goods that the British generals would predictably stop for - King George IIIwould have gone absolutely mad for the Hermes Crocodile Himalayan Birken bag.
Terminal by terminal, the British Army was turned back and vanquished by our civilian colonists. Their fallen soldiers forever lost to the stampeding heard of flyers rushing to their gates or the closest option their gate had for alcohol.
It was our brave soldiers of the Great American Colonies from the ’70s that bravely protected JFK at its most vulnerable hour in order to ensure that it would remain exactly as it was. Free from running on time. Free from becoming an efficient hub of international travel. Free from having a Shake Shack in every terminal.
Which is why, to this day, we remember The Battle at John F. Kennedy International Airport by making sure the British Airways terminal permanently remains under construction.
Because America will never be under construction from the British, ever again. God Bless the JFK AIrport.

Congress adopts Declaration of Independence
What I find funny is the Southern states are seemingly the most patriotic but during the war that's where all the loyalists were
Well the South was unique because it seemed that almost every family had a dispute or rivalry with another family. It was quite common that rather than choosing sides based on their own beliefs, they would wait and see what what their rivals choose, so that they could join the opposing side and be "justified" in crushing them.
The Tidewater aristocrats had strong ties to old England, and they were making good business in Great Britain with the tobacco and cotton market. They were hesitant on declaring their independence. The Scotch-Irish on the otherhand were a fiercely independent people who settled in the Appalachian mountains. Their way of living was simple, self sufficient and free. They were very supportive of Independence from Great Britain.
They were patrotic. They were loyal to their country while the rest of the colonies rebelled. Except the other patrotic colonies like in Canada.
They are more conservative than the north, meaning they tend to prefer things remaining the same and are against large structural changes to the way things are run. So it’s not really funny or surprising.
Hence why they wanted Britain to rule, and wanted to keep their slaves.
There is, of course, no correlation between the two other than the fact that both things they wanted to keep were things that they always had, and felt more uncomfortable with change.
Incase anyone does so, I’ll quickly say that to imply that there may be a connection between desiring British rulers and desiring keeping their slaves, would be wrong, as Britain historically became the first empire to abolish the slave trade and did so decades before the northern US states.
Well that was...anti-climatic. It seems that most of the fighting took place in a few isolated areas, while the rest of the country didn't see too much action. Ironic, since those isolated battles affected the whole world!
it was less interesting on a map.
This just helps to show everyone dogpiling on Britain
Not only that, but the casualty counts were so low - barely 20,000 over the course of the entire conflict! It's funny how most people's mental image of the war is of enormous armies clashing in hollywood-looking battles when really the whole thing was incredibly small potatoes.

"Don't fire I tell you! Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!" ~ William Prescott at the Battle of Bunker Hill
Wasn't that originally a Swedish tactic created under King Karl XII? To march forwards pretending to be unaffected by enemy bullets until one could see the white in the adversary's eyes, fire a single devastating round at close range, and charge forwards with rapiers in an attempt to break the enemy morale instantly.
American soldiers in 170 different countries are celebrating independence from a foreign superpower 👍

Imperialist bastards! Oh wait. 39,000 in Japan. 38,000 in Germany. 23,000 in South Korea ... 289 in Thailand (probably trainers), 178 in Sinagpore (ditto, plus watching the sea lanes, monitoring pirates), 407 in Greece, 83 in Norway ... 59 in Mexico (training Mexican Marines in the drug war, "knob turners" tracking narcotraffickers), 141 in Canada (cross-training, liaison, joint watch on the Arctic Ocean and over the horizon versus Russia), 771 total in Central America (divided evenly between Honduras and El Salvador), 170 total in South America (divided between Colombia, Brazil, and Peru).
Not exactly an occupation force keeping down the locals, propping up dictatorships.
These are our friends and allies, present at the invitation of our allies.
The rest: Must be counting US Marine guards at embassies and consulates.
Your map depicts Howe landing in Delaware to march on Philadelphia in 1778. In fact he landed at Head-of-Elk Maryland, (Now Elkton) to take the city. I know because he marched through my hometown on the way.
It would be nice to have a video also showing the battles along with the dates.
