The increased taxation on the colonies is the only reason given by American historians. In actual fact the taxation issue was simply a ruse to inflame the small businesses and farmers to join a coalition. The real reason for the American War of Independence was always about expansion of the colonies without the interference of the British, with the ultimate aim of the creation of an independent economy.
there is probably some truth to that -- the British did prohibit colonial expansion in the US westward past the Appalachian mountains. There had been a lot of western land speculation among colonial elites.
I doubt the British would've just stopped at the East Coast. They probably would've expanded westward over time.
Had France come out on top, expansion westward would not have been easy, given France held the land to the west.
You're absolutely wrong. Some of the most important moments in history happened in the 18th century: The Spanish war of succession, the Seven Years War, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the downfall of the Swedish Empire, the beginning decline of the Ottoman Empire just to name a few. The early 18th century is also what is often called the Golden Age of piracy.
i would add in it also saw a radical change of naval practice, warfare and the methodology of using fleets all thanks to the invention of the marine chronometer.
@@Simon-hb9rfI also forgot to mention that the beginning of the industrial revolution also dates back to the 18th century - and that was a huge change I'd say.
The most important event of the 17th-century is the English Civil War and the glorious Revolution.This brought in the first time of protected freedoms in law for anyone other than the king.This led to Parliament taking full control (1707) the monarchy fading into the background.The american constitution and bill of rights and the french structures are all traceable developed from those events and documents in law developed following them e.g. Habeus Corpus(1679) and the english bill of rights (1689),etc
*All our modern freedoms and ability to only work 9-to-5 or less stems from these foundations.Before this everyone was working 14 hours a day in a feudal system creating value for kings
There are quit a lot great documentaries of the Dutch TV network NPO on UA-cam (with English subs) about the 80 years war and Dutch history in general, for those interested.
Why did he skip the Swedish entering the war and defeating the Prussians at Neuensund before pulling out of the war?
you dont look at british strategy much, the first attack was to distract and give britain time to organize a real efort against the french, look at the anglo spanish wars lol, the french walked right into it.
britain was always a prise for euorpean countries, but hard to win, but they never stopped trying till 1945, we are not that nation anymore, but the spirit of the people is the same.
I think the first (proto-) world war was the Dutch war of independence, mainly fought in the Netherlands, but also all over the world at sea and at coastal forts. The worldwide component of that war that started in 1568, started for real in 1606 with the very vicious siege of Malacca and the subsequent ultra aggressive sea battle with Portugal (which the Dutch lost). The battle lasted for days until all the ammo was spent.
history has many layers, what started a war, a king? why did he do it? what was he thinking? we can all wonder years after the fact, but what was going on, why did these people start wars?
I grew up in Montreal. The Quebecois lamenting British takeover... I never hear the end of it. lol
the irony that they have developed the most prominent of English traits "complaining"
@@Simon-hb9rf That's also a very french thing though let us not forget. The french are masters of complaining, they did it so well their kings head fell off
Estoy de acuerdo contigo, la Historia es mejor para un profano aprenderla a través de una mirada amplia. Luego se puede incidir en particularidades. Origen, desarrollo general y consecuencias.😊 saludos desde España 🇪🇸
For depth view i highly recommend you to check out house of history Fredrick the great series , it is awesome trust me just like epic history.
a sea invasion with giant ships letting loose small ships full of people, yeh ww2 was ausome,
but these invasions were in wooden ships, tied and pegged together, tared and blessed by whatever god they believed in,
cos these ships, aften flounderd in high seas, and they didnt have a weather app.
so no warning of bad weather, 6 hours into invading, we just have to hang on and hope, we hit land.
🤣what you don’t think the 18th century interesting but it was a fascinating time with the French and British in the US This and Canada plus your Revolution in 1775 starting with the Minute Men on Lexington Green even before that Boston Massacre and the Tea party debacle the the French and British fighting it out the most vivid depiction was the movie “LAST OF THE MOHICANS ” fabulous one of the best films ever made filmed on location in North Carolina one of the last of the natural forestry LEFT IN THE US . I lived in Lexington and repeatedly visited Boston and its History being a Brit I had a connection with it no the 18th Century for your country it was TOPS Plus all the goings on in Europe and why the French (What this video is all about )got involved in The US and Canada in the first place it’s all connected ,the British and French are still at loggerheads fishing , borders English Channel but it’s not destructive like it used to be in that Century but it simmers What an exciting time it was Good one Conner to understand the politics of the time 🤣👍👏👏🤷♀️
Yes and Brexit totally pi...ed off the french breaking their hold over the UK by making new laws in the ue , while france and Germany ignored the laws the UK always doing them first because they were good people 😂😂😂 , the rest of the eu didn't like it because the UK was one of the main countries holding back france and Germany grabbing power .
Connor, that is so interesting - I had never heard of the Seven Years War before now, so, thank-you! I guess that goes to show how introspective the British education system has been in the past - although the 1700s were pretty eventful here, too - which is what they did teach us about! Perhaps, like me, you are a visual thinker, as I completely agree with you about this kind of overview. History can be very dry when its presented in great volumes of books and when it happened in places that are just names, and that you know nothing else about.
When did u go to school if u don’t mind me asking; because I learnt about the Hanoverian succession, followed by the 7-year-war, before glossing over US independence (all in Year7/8, as I didn’t do history for GCSE.)
@@NK-bj8liI left in 1980.
@@paulharvey9149 as someone who went to school in the 90's this stuff was certainly on the curriculum even if the teachers were useless
@@Simon-hb9rfAs a child of the late sixties and seventies we learnt of it too for O level history. I remember being taught about Wolfe at Quebec and Clive at Plassey.
The British education system is infiltrated by apologists now who do not even understand true history, let alone the details. The MOST important event possibly in history for common citizens like us, is the English Civil War, the glorious Revolution and the act of Parliament (1707), English Bill of Rights (1689) and other documents giving other groups power, when all other countries in the world were ruled as tyrannies or absolute monarchies before this.Although this didn't result immediately in democracy that we see now, it was the catalyst, from which gradually different groups got more rights over time protected by law and this spread internationally also. The American constitution, Bill of Rights and the French structures are traceable heavily influenced by these occurrences and documents, so there is no evidence that without these we would still be ruled in every country as tyrannies, with mainly peasant populations without education
The first world war was fought in South Africa! The Whole english empire, england, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand etc. assisted by North and south America, Germany against the Afrikaner Free State and Transvaal. My forefathers fought them to a standstill for three YEARS Non STOPP!
Didn't even list Sweden :(
always with France and UK ..... sometimes with , sometimes against
It's still going on in different ways but without the fighting .
Darn that George Washington guy ;-)
Funny to see Americans finding out there was so much more before their own short history.
It is comparable to a game of chess.
personally i tend to think of the colony wars between France and Britain as more of a global game of tic-tac-toe "well if you do that then im going to put a colony HERE to block you"
