Fun Fact: during the siege of Yorktown near the end of the war, British General Cornwallis’s dog somehow got onto the American side, and George Washington paused the battle to return the dog back to him.
a true hero
Meanwhile in 1925 a Greek officer's dog escaped and crossed the Bulgarian border, and the officer tried to grab it. The Bulgarians fired, sparking a Greco-Bulgarian war and Greece got to sofia

I love how after winning a major war and being made the first leader of a new nation, George Washington voluntarily left his position and returned to being a simple farmer; he gave the spotlight to someone else and didn't desperately try to stay relevant. That's a real hero, right there.
He was heavily inspired by Cinncinatus, an ancient Roman who the Romans considered to be the model example of a "dictator". In Rome's Republican political system, a "dictator" would be appointed in times of crisis. They would gain absolute power for a limited time in order to address the crisis. Cinncinatus was one such dictator who immediately resigned from politics and went back to farming upon solving the crisis he was faced with, and Washington sought sought emulate him.
The city of Cinncinati is named for him
@@yoloswaggins7121 What's even more impressive about Cincinnatus is that this happened not once but twice. Twice Cincinnatus was called upon to resolve a crisis, both times he did exactly that much faster than anyone would have expected, and both times he immediately surrendered his position so he could get back to his farm.
Of course, it might just be that he really liked the peaceful life of a farmer, but that doesn't take away the fact that this is a man who successfully resisted the temptations of power despite twice having the opportunity to seize control of the Roman Republic.
A simple farmer?
people who are worthy to lead never really want to. which is unfortunate because then you’re left with psychopaths who salivate at the thought of power and end up with the politicians we have now.
He was also a slave holder so couple hundred negative points there...
For John Paul Jones to go to England and capture their ships, while also being the bass player for the greatest rock band of all time, what a legend.

WORLD CHAMPION OF WHAT!?
As a brit, I only ever really feel patriotic when viewing our nations past. Say what you will about the morality of it but in the words of Dave Chapelle - "don't judge a photograph because it wasn't taken today". All that aside, over the course of the two videos I've gone from feeling slightly scorned by the Americans basically mugging off the British to kick things off (knowing too how it ends of course), to now feeling like the American victory in this war was not only absolutely well deserved, due to intelligent strategy and British ineptitude, but also that the manner of the victory speaks so much to how present day America holds itself. Listing them would be mundane, but just thinking about the parallels is facinating
The concept of “historical relevance” doesn’t make any sense when you’re talking about morales. Causing human suffering e.g colonialism, slavery, sexism, etc is objectively bad as are the people or nations who did those things. Be proud of your country for its technological genius or something not it’s all encompassing imperialism.
The British Empire: We have an army.
Rebels: We have a John Paul Jones.
We have a john paul jones better then your army.

WOOF In this case it seems USA and France are in a romantic relationship that theyre hiding from their parents. Why are they hiding it from their parents? I mean I can understand wanting to hide it from England but Francia doesn't even exist anymore.
I love the idea of Greene's men moving swiftly and flipping around through the countryside 😆

4:47 he’s a madman. He captured eight prizes, sunk and burnt another eight, and towed to port several prizes to end the year. In June 1777, Jones was appointed to the newly built Ranger. Like I said, a madman.
US to France: If it weren't for us in WWII y'all would be speaking German
France to US: If it weren't for us in your WoI you wouldn't exist
ww2:soviets were already at the gates of poland before usa landed in normandy all their involvment changed was that not whole europe was communist satelitr
ww1:if not us involvment ithe war would most likely end with whitepeace since both sides werent close to winning and were stuck in line of trenches with no food and similiar casualties
@@Soap.-- WW1 was already over by the time the US arrived and no one wanted them because they were terrible soldiers.
WW2, the war was already over after the Russians took out the 6th army and the British took Africa, winning air superiority and already having a few enigma machines, knowing their enemy's plans and that they didnt have much left. The Americans only quickened the war, although it was already over. Britain also caught up and took over industrial production, and started hunting U boats with the invention of SONAR.
@@D1str1ct thats basically what i said but ww1 would just end with white peace in ww2 as u said their involvment didntchange anything
@@Soap.-- Unlikely. The unfunded, unfed, and all around unorganized army would see the United States likely end up as being no more than a failed experiment in the annals of history. Plus, if it was white peace, what result would that even be? I would imagine it would just end up with Great Britain retaking the colonies, although with less taxes.
I'm pretty sure no one says that.
But then again I have metal plates planted in my skull so how the fuck should I know.
I'm in the UK. I was born and grew up in the UK. We are told literally NOTHING about this in standard school history.
We basically leap straight from "Woo, kings, British Empire, Global Superpower!" to "Boo, world wars!" handily skipping straight over any conflicts where the British aren't 100% victorious.
So.... thanks.
Global superpower was around the Queen Victoria's reign. So, that's kinda right to do, because one followed the other.
Well hey in American public schools we only take two years of world history (one in middle school, one in High School), the rest of what we learn is entirely 1776 and upwards lol
Well everyone learns about this in school here in America LITERALLY
Yeah, the British military in the 18th century was well armed, well trained, and led by idiots. That was the huge problem and that was why America won. Superior leadership
James Scholes nevertheless, you’re lucky. Being born in a land with such history...
What a great way to celebrate July 4th.

John Paul Jones must have had early access to Free Bird
Hi
you should make a video in the Texas revolution
Fun fact: When John Paul Jones was asked to surrender, he said "I have not yet begun to fight!"
Fun Fact: General von Steuben was one of the greatest military commanders of all time. The only reason why George Washington was able to hire him was because von Steuben was VERY openly gay and was kicked out of several European courts. America was the only one that accepted him.
Also, he fell in love with the captain that acted as his translator at Valley Forge and, after the war, hired the captain as his "assistant".
@@StValentine-uh5lv
That’s a very nice fact
@@StValentine-uh5lv this is kind of well known. It’s used as an argument towards originalists who think you can’t be gay.
