      Yes but not officially if I remember correctly. Still we should still remember them for their contributions. But I still think it was the French that helped the most. Americans that make fun of them have to remember that without the french we wouldn't have won the revolution.

      Hollawar Spain didn't help much at all. France conceded a huge part of their economy and military to to the Americans, allowing them to have a navy and a load of reinforcement from the french. What you are claiming is completely false as the Spanish didn't and couldn't send "basically all of your conscripts."

    • @hollawar1391
      @hollawar1391 7 років тому +4

      Broh that's exactly what Hollywood and other shit stories lie, like everything they do, honestly. It was the spaniards that in the beggining aided the revolution even knowing they we're clearly loosing by giving A LOT, of warfare material, and when I say A LOT, it's huge, believe me, I studied it, and many indirects aids, it was because of them, the 'muricans gained independence. The french got on the truck years after and still they're recognized as saviors when they did nothing compared to those spanish... But go on and still believe in the lies of our history.
      Btw we repayed the french with great honors but we thanked the spaniards by stealing Cuba and the Philippines...
