I want people to know that though I love this movie, it doesn’t accurately depict France for the crucial ally it was to the American colonists throughout the war. France provided weapons and supplies to the Americans during the war and also had many ground forces fighting along side the colonists. France also endured financial hardship as a result which led to its own war shortly after this one was over.
Spain gave much more than France in the independence war, gave more troops and more weapons, think about Bernardo de Gálvez, who was the Florida's governor in those times, think what the Galveztown was and why It was given to him, always ignoring Spain when gave much more than France, and had the 90% of the actual USA territory. 🇪🇦💔🇺🇸
@@firingallcylinders2949 It is, because we were also in war against Great Britain, and Spain helped the americans first with ammo and weapons, then with direct military help, also there are a lot of cities in the USA territory with spanish names, because that was part of Virreinato de Nueva España, and those cities were founded by spanish, even the americans gave as a present the ship Galveztown yo Bernardo de Gálvez, because of his help fighting the british.

After the British surrendered at Yorktown, Cornwallis never showed his face to Washington as he was too ashamed to face him For that, a tit for tat game was played.

A number of the main core of British Commanders had...unfavorable opinions of the war, not many of them wanted to fight it. Even the British Supreme Commander during the time of the Yorktown siege, General Henry Clinton, really wanted to wash his hands of the conflict having tried to resign or get reassigned post multiple times before the post of overall command was thrusted upon him.
just remember that the battle of Yorktown was won by the French who outnumbered the Americans on the battlefield there 3 to 1 and the Americans were only there because General Rochambeau gave Washington money to borrow some men. also Rochambeau was the tactician behind the battle
@@stephencomer9276 Good. Why tf should they involve with your Empire wars? British Empire conquered half of the world for resources. They not also good guys.
@@stephencomer9276 That's irrelevant. The fact is the British were not able to liberate France without the United States. Even though the US wasn't in the war (militarily) at the beginning, they provided the British with supplies through lend lease.
My ancestor Johann Peter Koger and his brother Jacob fought the Revolutionary War as Virginian's. They were counted as present at Yorktown and witnessed the British surrender to General Washington!
...and as a result for France, because of a war against England before this was lost and cost a hell of a lot of money, and eventually aiding with military and funding the colonies costing also a hell of a lot of money, there was a revolution... thanks, Oversimplified!
Wow, to think the French help liberate us all those years ago, we returned the favor in 1944. If that doesn’t bond our nations forever I don’t know what will!
Not for the better one civil war not enough for America? At least the reason behind the first was due to the freedom of African Americans. Now it is due to the rotten system and intense amount of corruption within the American system being fronted by a gigantic idiot who never wanted to be president, never thought he would be voted in and should have backed down straight away but has too large of an ego for it. Since then he has just fucked up one thing after another. 155 years since the last civil war. When you have to call your own army in to try to keep law and order your methods of governing are shit and you have lost the faith of your civilian populace.
Being Canadian (the first real Canadians spoke french, so you have to specify "english Canadian" if you don't speak french) I love this bit "Vive la France... Vive la liberté"! :)
When France ruled it wasn't Canada it was New France same as when Spain ruled it wasn't Mexico it was New Spain...Quebec people are ridiculous and the time they are gone from Canada will be so joyous can't stand them bloody frogs
French settlers refered to themselves as Canadians. The first Canadians spoke French. Let me ask you, where are the Montréal Canadiens located? Exactly. Where was the Canadian anthem written? Exactly. In what language? Yep. You're just a homeless brit, I however, am a true Canadian, I can even speak both official languages. The fact you refer to us as "frogs" just means you have a tiny pee pee, like most English speaking people, but it's ok. Homeless brit haha!
Let's not forget it was the French who inspired the American patriots to write the Declaration of Independence. You can literally read echos of the writings from the French philosophers Montesquieu, Rousseau and Voltaire dispersed throughout the document at the National Archives. Ben Franklin himself stated that the "foremost belief of an independent America came to fruition in Philadelphia, but it was born in France."

@@Pikkabuu Yes, the propaganda of America liberating itself from the British Monarchy. Sorry if I misunderstood your comment, but it read as if that propaganda was a bad thing lol.
@@fenggula7890
The movie shows British committing warcrimes.
The movie shows Colonial loyalists as traitors.
The movie shows the Colonials as Saturday morning cartoon good guys.
So yeah. It IS propaganda.

Other soldiers: We wanted to make it a fair fight!
Martin: When your Officer is about to be murdered in front of you, I don’t think anyone will care if you cheated!
Cornwallis never tried to understand. We fought for home and liberty
Cornwallis was actually a colonial sympathiser. He just thought fighting for independence was taking things to far.
@@badugm5035 oh really? I never knew that!
@@baseballboy4494 He really was. He even said in the movie that after the war was over, he wanted to reestablish commerce with the American colonists and even calls them "brethren".
A number of the main core of British Commanders had...unfavorable opinions of the war, not many of them wanted to fight it. Even the British Supreme Commander during the time of the Yorktown siege, General Henry Clinton, really wanted to wash his hands of the conflict having tried to resign or get reassigned post multiple times before the post of overall command was thrusted upon him.
Long Live the French & American friendship ☑️
I liked the scene, because even in war their is no retreat, no surrender fight until you have claimed🇫🇷🇺🇲 "Victory"🇫🇷🇺🇲
Vive la France, vive la liberté ❤
just remember that the battle of Yorktown was won by the French who outnumbered the Americans on the battlefield there 3 to 1 and the Americans were only there because General Rochambeau gave Washington money to borrow some men. also Rochambeau was the tactician behind the battle
It's kind of poetic that French saved Americans from British and Americans saved French from Germans.
A debt was paid to France and now we're squared with them.
Are you joking the British were fighting the Germans for three years alone the Americans were not in the war
@@stephencomer9276 Good. Why tf should they involve with your Empire wars? British Empire conquered half of the world for resources. They not also good guys.
@@stephencomer9276 That's irrelevant. The fact is the British were not able to liberate France without the United States. Even though the US wasn't in the war (militarily) at the beginning, they provided the British with supplies through lend lease.
@@stephencomer9276..not to mention we pretty much saved France's existence in WWI
My ancestor Johann Peter Koger and his brother Jacob fought the Revolutionary War as Virginian's. They were counted as present at Yorktown and witnessed the British surrender to General Washington!
We owe the french so much. Sure weve had ups and downs in the years but i'll be grateful to them for helping my country gain her independence
may the french people forever remain not only our ally but our friend, vive la france and god bless you all.
Thank you so much, God bless America
God bless America! God Bless France! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 happy fourth boys-
From Yorktown to Normandy. Vive la liberté.
And many years later we repaid our Revolutionary brothers. Lafayette, we are here.
USA and France. Now i understood❤
...and as a result for France, because of a war against England before this was lost and cost a hell of a lot of money, and eventually aiding with military and funding the colonies costing also a hell of a lot of money, there was a revolution... thanks, Oversimplified!
I love watching his channel too
I watched this movie in the theaters 20 years ago. In the last 20 years I have slowly watched the USA turn into the USSA.
I hope not.
And what are you going to do about it? Be complacent?

@@inertiaforce7846 depends on the answer to others.
Couldn’t have done it without the French 🇫🇷🇺🇸
And the Spanish
@@issac2112 80% of help come from France.
the British couldnt have done it either without their support of the German Hessians and the American Loyalists which cancels out the French help
@@issac2112 the British also had help from the German Hessians, the American Loyalists, and the Natives and still lost the revolutionary war
@@UserName-om6ft don’t forget most of the Native American tribes, including the Iroquois Confederacy also were on the side of the British.
🇺🇲🇫🇷Friendship is the Greatest power that can lead you to Victory🇫🇷🇺🇲
GOD BLESS AMERICA!! God bless FREEDOM AND VIVA LIBERTY 🗽
I just realized how much I love America and support the patriots
Cornwallis was a huge advocate of the patriot cause in parliament, but when war broke out, he fulfilled his duty as a British officer.
Fight for freedom!!
Fight for freedom!!

Wow, to think the French help liberate us all those years ago, we returned the favor in 1944. If that doesn’t bond our nations forever I don’t know what will!
"An army of rabble, peasants." That army of rabble and peasants will become your greatest ally and help you change history.
Favorite movie is this one.
I’m so happy this is on Netflix 👍
British general O'Hara surrendered to Goerge Washington at Yorktown and then a few years later he surrendered to Napoleon at Toulon.
Yup. If not mistaken, the only British soldier to be kept as prisoner of both Washington and Napoleon.
Who would have the last laugh though?
"My Lord, I beseech you"
Everything will change. Everything has changed.
Not for the better one civil war not enough for America? At least the reason behind the first was due to the freedom of African Americans. Now it is due to the rotten system and intense amount of corruption within the American system being fronted by a gigantic idiot who never wanted to be president, never thought he would be voted in and should have backed down straight away but has too large of an ego for it. Since then he has just fucked up one thing after another. 155 years since the last civil war. When you have to call your own army in to try to keep law and order your methods of governing are shit and you have lost the faith of your civilian populace.
Being Canadian (the first real Canadians spoke french, so you have to specify "english Canadian" if you don't speak french) I love this bit "Vive la France... Vive la liberté"! :)
Quebec City was founded in 1608 but the British made claim to Newfoundland (part of Canada) in 1583, twenty five years earlier.
@@jburtonca Jacques Cartier set foot in Gaspé peninsula in 1534
@@jeffarsenault7048 John Cabot was here in the 1490s.
When France ruled it wasn't Canada it was New France same as when Spain ruled it wasn't Mexico it was New Spain...Quebec people are ridiculous and the time they are gone from Canada will be so joyous can't stand them bloody frogs
French settlers refered to themselves as Canadians. The first Canadians spoke French. Let me ask you, where are the Montréal Canadiens located? Exactly. Where was the Canadian anthem written? Exactly. In what language? Yep. You're just a homeless brit, I however, am a true Canadian, I can even speak both official languages. The fact you refer to us as "frogs" just means you have a tiny pee pee, like most English speaking people, but it's ok. Homeless brit haha!

We've just about had enough of you, son. When we're done here, we're coming for you.
Abraham Lincoln The rest of the slow motion isn’t bad at all. Besides that one shot you mentioned. The way he cheesily raises his hand is laughable.
No movies bring a tear to my eye, but this one always makes an invisible ninja cut onions near me whenever I watch it
And the 3 nations have created maybe the strongest alliance we still have today
Let's not forget it was the French who inspired the American patriots to write the Declaration of Independence. You can literally read echos of the writings from the French philosophers Montesquieu, Rousseau and Voltaire dispersed throughout the document at the National Archives. Ben Franklin himself stated that the "foremost belief of an independent America came to fruition in Philadelphia, but it was born in France."
Going to Yorktown VA is definitely worth it. I have video on my channel of the siege lines in Yorktown.
I love the disdain on Cornwallis’s face when he called the Americans peasants
I'm 25% French. My mother's father was in the free French navy WW2. He passed in 2008 at 87. 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷

Love France thank u for helping us win the battle against England a powerful enemy
A subtle detail - Cornwallis refuses to face or look at the French ships, the English despised them THAT much during this period.
Francia fue aliado desicivo en la Independencia de Estados Unidos desde el inicio de la Revolucion, la Estatua de ls Libertad es un regalo de Amistad...
