Andy Nelson I was in the United States for 2 years when i was young and in history class there never said a thing about the other European powers in this civil war.
Well, I don't believe that the bad blood of the wars still reside in the relationship of our peoples. Though I still believe that the British people think they are better than us. Though We are rather attogant
***** yeah, when they were a lot more arrogant about their imperial ambitions. Also, I see you all the time on The Great War channel and It's History :P weird
Actually the Royal Navy was doing just fine, it lasted for 27 months before the Americans even entered the war, even when they did join however, their navy in the Atlantic was very small in comparison to the British navy
Britain was a very unimpressive military force outside naval battles and small skirmishes with undeveloped regions of Africa and India. The empire was built through mostly opportunistic means, which isn't necessarily bad, just not impressive compared to say Rome or the Mongols
@@steppebro Rome and the Mongols made empires the same way. Rome through technology and discipline and Mongols through the confusion caused by the fall of the Romans.
@@steppebro Go look at the size of Great Britain on a map. See those tiny islands in the middle of nowhere? The people on those islands conquered a quarter of the entire planet. Someone explain that to Katie E. McLoughlin's little blonde head.
April 22 1778 - sailors and Marines of the US Ranger landed in Whitehaven, England, and proceeded to burn the shipping vessels and warehouses in the harbor. The shore battery was taken and silenced. The raid is to this day immortalized by the statue of a US Marine spiking a British cannon. RIP John Paul Jones
Good show, would have been nice if you mentioned all of the Slaves that deserted the Continental Armies to join the British after they promised all slaves that fought for the crown freedom. English Civil War would be great to see - quite unknown and underrepresented.
The American Civil War was not about slavery. By that point, it was already agreed that slavery was wrong. Every person in the US (African, Caucasian, Arab, Asian, Latino, etc.) was and is guaranteed the right to do basically whatever they want so long as they are not violating anyone else's rights. Because slavery violated the slave's rights, it was illegal from the start when the constitution was written. The American Civil War was simply people rebelling from the government and had nothing to do with slavery.
France refused to help America in Iraq in 2003 and that's despite all the help America gave France in WW2, in fact the only European country who supported America in Iraq in 2003 was . . . . .Great Britain how ironic
Lying Macaroon 64 well I am English so from our perspective the French united with the Americans because they would rather share the new world with a newly created independent state than with their biggest imperialist rivals and from our perspective they sold Louisiana to fund a war in which they were (again) trying to conquer our country, I appreciate the Americans have a positive history with France but we have been living next door to them for a very long time and our relationship has rarely been good from medieval times right up to the present day our countries have always hated each other lol.
Napoleon also sold Louisiana for such a low price (the whole territory for only 15 million dollars) because he planned to launch an invasion from Haiti after his European conflicts had ended.
In America, Napoleon is viewed in a rather neutral light, so, in English history classes, how is he portrayed? I've heard the term "Napoleo-Hitler" used to describe some historical figures and I've always wondered by Napoleon, who had introduced great civil reforms and unified a country in turmoil, was placed on the same pedestal as Adolf Hitler.
Hanebol Barko yeah to Britain Napoleon is seen as a kind of Prototype-Hitler, although as you say the French revolution is never thought of as being a bad thing in itself it's the fact that it lead to a dictatorship (as most revolutions do) and the fact that from the English view point Napoleon basically represents another attempt from the French to conquer England and control the continent of Europe, to the English I suppose we see Napoleon in a funny way, he will always be associated with failure really, his failure to conquer Russia, his failure to unify Europe and his failure at the battle of Waterloo will always overule whatever success he had in reforming the French political system, to us Napoleon is a villian but not a serious one, just a bit of a clown, as you say though USA sees him in a neutral light which is understandable as they never had any bad dealings with him, I suppose to put it in context here in Britain we look at the American civil war in a very neutral way, we don't see the confederate army as bad guys we just see the north and south as being kind of equals really.
What was a contained Colonial revolt for independence to the Americans, was a global struggle against France, Spain and the Netherlands for the preservation of the British Empire to the British. Fighting happened from Canada all the way to India. The 13 Colonies were the only theatre the British were defeated in.
***** Those are state capitalists. They are in favor of putting the means of production into the hands of the government. (as opposed to communism, which wants to put them into the hands of the communes they are located within)
umm ok, communism is a great idea, but it could never ever EVER work on this earth you must be dreaming in colours to think so.... nobody is willing to work the fields and put extra work for the government to collect them and then starve to death, no one will ever give their best if its not for his personnal interest... communism is in paradox with the human nature... if your a marxist you are either dellusionnal and/or have this hatred towards the USA for some apparent reason and im guessing your in the second group. just a guess.

Marx main work was in criticizing our current capitalist society, in which you automatically fall back to a Master-Slave society with the rich capitalists, who own everything, at the top and the poor human capital at the bottom due to the nature of our resources being limited and private entities being allowed to accumulate as much of these limited resources as they want. (To see that this prediction was correct, you just need to take a look at the income and wealth inequality.) He also laid out a possible way of how to reach Communism, which is basically Social Anarchism. And also the argument of "This is going against human nature" is the most retarded one, that a capitalist can bring against a socialist. It's also in human nature to murder or steal from someone. And yet we have laws to prohibit that, which therefore are forcing people to live according to the moral standards that we deem best for society, rather than arguing "It is against human nature to have laws!". I REALLY REALLY ADVISE YOU to first look up these concepts and learn something about Socialism/Communism, before you even dare to argue with me again. So far you've just used fucking stupid arguments, that you would only hear from people, who don't even grasp these concepts.

And something, that a lot of Americans can't grasp either: Criticizing your shithole of a nation isn't the same as straight up hating it. If I look at what the US has become since FDR/Eisenhower, it's really hard not to see it as a giant pile of shit. (Especially with your mentally deranged Republican party.) And this comes from someone, who is from an "allied nation" of yours. This, however, doesn't mean a lot. The neoconservatives that managed to grab the power in your country are constantly blackmailing my government, waging economic warfare against it, are spying on it and the entire population of my country and many more things. That's a criticism on the US alone though, rather than on it being a capitalist nation. (Even though this outcome was only possible due to it being capitalist... I probably said enough by now and I'm afraid, that trying to further explaining you the world will just lead to your head imploding.)

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franklin January 17, 1706 - April 17, 1790
+Nick Walker Id say Ireland was always cool with us since 1 out of 3 of the American Army was and irishman and there were germans involved on the US side as Von Stuben a Prussian captian that became Washingtons Inspector General in charge of training and tactics , whats not mentioned is the general public of Great britain was appossed to the war and in favor of the American cause , crowds would cheer American victories in public squares louder there then here . The opposition party to the king even went as far as to wear blue and orange (Washingtons uniform colors ).
I'm Irish and we were made to fight, well I don't mind the Brits so I'm not going to say we had to fight against are will it was mostly the Irish loyalists
Britain came so close to winning and had to take on Spain, France, Netherlands and the rebellion. All the while the tax was to an extent quite reasonable since it was colonists who gained most from the 7 years war. Also if there was no taxation without representation why didn't the colonists take the offer for representation. Also by the end of the war more people were for the crown than the rebellion.
Britain was too far away for representation for the time, and the colonists also didn't feel people who lived such a different life and in a much different place should govern them.
Thomas Norgate They didn't want representation, at least from what I've read. Britain was too far away, and it didn't make sense for someone that far away to govern them. Imagine if Poland had the ability to govern Mongolia. That's the situation they were in, except this was 240 years ago and it was even harder to communicate back then. The colonists also lived much differently than the British did, adding to the list of problems.
You are a godsend. I’m studying for my college but I’m a verbal learner. I missed these classes because of health complications. You’re saving my grade
Currently working with this in college. This was so enlightening! There are so many details and dates and stuff (it's history after all) that I got a bit confused, but you made it so clear with your video! Thank you so much!
Well Britain had just spent millions protecting them from the French, who were an absolute monarchy. (Also until this event they had not been taxed at all)
Funny that even though Spain helped the U.S.A gain independence, it was the U.S.A who supported the loss of Spanish colonies (all of them) and randomly took West Florida.
The spanish was given 15 million dollars for the colonies after the war, cause they wanted to keep relations friendly. (Not adjusted for inflation.), Spain didn't want florida and gave it to the USA.
SIMcityplayer2002 West Florida belonged to the British at the time. It's capital was Pensacola. It's why the Spanish attacked it in the battle of mobile in 1780.
Yup. In fact, most people who call themselves American are... well, wrong. Most people you think of when you say American as in United States of America are of European descent, and Latin America, Central America, and South America tend to be of mostly Spanish descent. Most of the ACTUAL indigenous American population, as in Native Americans, were massacred by Conquistadores and early colonials, I think. I learned all of this a while ago...
Honestly... I don't know. Also, I'm not sure whether you're asking an honest question or mocking, me but the entire point of my comment was that there is no proper adjective for people who live in the united states
Jason Weber lol I hate to break it to you, but Mexico started the war. They shot at American military personnel in the disputed territory which caused the whole war.
furious george he has. Anything with the word "indepenance" or "revolution" he's been to and commented multiple comments on. I've seen him on ten completely random videos
You are so informative and have a great voice to listen to. I love the drawings too. Your channel is amazing! I've already seen your WW1 and WW2 videos and the Napoleonic Wars video and I think I saw the Cold War video, but it's been a while. Your videos are really well done so now I'm subscribing. I'll donate to your Patreon some day, but currently I have my own financial issues to deal with and trying to keep a roof over my head.
Hi, I have been watching your videos since 2016 when I was in 1st grade, I have learned so much from you, you were my childhood. I took 8th grade U.S. History last year and I got the teacher to show this video to the class.
As an American, I must thank Great Britain for providing me with the most universal language in the world. We had strong fights in the past and my ancestor Justin was in the Revolution (on our side), but if it wasn't for Britain, our world would be very different. Not only for the US but for everyone. I know the world enjoys the fruits of America today, but we would be unrecognizable without Britain. Despite our rocky past, Great Britain is engrained in America. As an American Citizen, I would do all I can in the future to hold our friendship with GB. We were once enemies, but we had to overcome extreme hardship to form a close friendship. What better nation to fight with during the World Wars but with GB. I am just in awe of our history. Bitter at first, but sealed in an unbreakable bond since. You all gave us our language! We speak the Queen's language...with a few tweaks :) Anyway, I am fascinated with our history and if need be, in the future, I will fight to the end to keep our friendship with our fellow English brothers. UK & US forever! France is for another comment. We have such great love for you! Any American says otherwise...they are sorely unamerican. What a great world we live.
America fought 3 years before the French came in by themselves + French and Spanish were barely even relevant for the most part except for funding and trading. Barely had a military presence.
Kyle97x and ww2... American been doing this... Also to say france did nothing is funny.. As said in the video they went bankrupt because of it and all got their head removed, I think its a big enough sacrifice... Also none mention the canadians that couldnt "help" because they had too many british with them but they did REFUSE to help british, if they would have helped there wouldnt be USA at least not at the same time.
Gerard Le Vaar more french soldiers fought in the us independence war than Americans lmao, I’m not saying u owe us something but ur statement is untrue as hell
what u guys can do is (im using a laptop so ) click the 3 dots right below the video and click ''open transcript' that has the whole video scripted and also has time stamps which makes it easier
Even if the Colonists accepted a place in Parliament, they still wouldn't have had been given enough seats to make any impact. The UK was far more populous than the colonies. They only leverage the Americans had over them was economics.
I've always been fascinated by lessening about a countries history by someone not from it, I know you're not really offering different perspectives of it, but it's still cool none the less :P
I think the one war in history that fascinates me the most, is the American Revolution and I am not even American, I am English! I just find this war inspiring, how they fought for their nations rights and freedoms that they still enjoy today, I am actually glad they won, I may not be able to enjoy the same freedoms as an American citizen, but I am happy that such a country exists in the world, which enables people to have certain inalienable rights, such as the right to keep and bare arms, Its difficult to get American citizenship now for me here in England, It was a close war, but I just have to say well done for achieving independence against well the worlds super power at the time, Smart move by france in the battle towards the end.. I have also watched the film the patriot, and in that film, you see historic buildings with the Union jack flying above them, then the next day the star spangled banner, still, to this day in certain parts of England, you have old buildings with our flag flying above them, I try and imagine life in the colonies, and what hoisting the American flag above the building must have meant for them... fighting for Freedom.
+grunt11795 First of all; HAAAAAAAA. And to the OP; if you want to watch a historical film about the Revolutionary War don't watch the Patriot. Can't think of any good ones to recommend at the moment but I can definitely say that you should take anything you watch in the Patriot with a garbage truck full of salt. There are so many inaccuracies with that movie it should be called "America: the Fictional Story of How Our Country thinks it actually Beat the United Kingdom". Proud American here; but I can't endorse such falsified drivel.
+George Rector (grector4) just to point something out, the 2nd amendment says that people can bear guns for the use of the militia they are to be part of, which we no longer have unless you count the national guard, but let's be fair that doesn't really count. I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying that's what our founding fathers meant. And gun control to an extent isn't the worst, as long as it keeps it out of the hands of people that shouldn't have lethal weapons.
Hamilton was trying to get the troops paid back in Philly and Lafayette was getting his feet wet in combat for the first time, while at the same time trying his best to learn English. Then, _BAMM,_ Hamilton winds up on Washington's staff and Lafayette (who liked to be called Gil) leads his men to some decent victories in the South.
i litteraly was confused about the american revolution in class since thats what were learning about in my History ALP class. and im glad i clicked on this video it made my understanding of the revolution more clear and i understand what has been going on in class now, thank you for this video it really helped
RudtheSpud Hello! Good morning/afternoon/evening! I was wondering, perhaps you could do a video on the rise and fall of the Prussian Empire? Not many people know about the former country's history, or for that matter, its existence. Thank you! ~Allison
The UK and USA are basically family, the USA is just a grumpy teenager "LEAVE ME ALONE MOM! I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF NOW!", and the UK is a forceful mother "DO YOUR HOMEWORK OR NO POCKETMONEY!" *slap* The USA ran away from home and the UK, but the two will always be family
Now that angsty teen is grown up and the head of a major corporation. Gave his little brother a job and decided to try and reconnect after that dispute with your nahbor Germany.
When you really think about it, American independence was kind of inevitable. There was literally no need to be part of Britain, they were too far away from each other, the states didn't require anything from Britain, there was simply no point in remaining tied to the British.
Much better at 75% speed. Aside from that, it's very useful for review. I particularly like that the years shown on every screen. I'll be watching this again.
Ireland was under British rule so they had no choice but to fight with the Brits,while Irish living in America fought with Washingtons army against the Brits.
@@godlovesyou1995 It was a better job than they could find at home. Google Tom Barry and Emmet and Charlie Dalton, Irish War of Independence men who had All served in the British Army. Then there was Major John MacBride, executed by the British after the 1916 Easter Rising. He fought with the Boers in the Second Boer War.
2:57 I got mindfucked because I legit thought there were only two people in the Continental Army. Also, I legit thought a spaceship came on the first Independence Day and abducted everyone! Thank god I watched this video!
Just and FYI: There is often confusion over alot, a lot and allot. The most common mistake involving these words is writing alot instead of a lot. Remember, the word alot does not exist (unless you mean the Indian town of Alot). Alot ought to be two words; i.e., it is a misspelling of a lot.

Lil Glock Vert truth I'm watching in class
Lil Glock Vert it's really a quarter depending what grade your in
it really is. this is all i've been learning in a month. 3 weeks technically since the first week of school is basically nothing.
I've been learning about the American Revolution for 3 or 2 months.
I just love how their eyes are literally bigger than their stomachs
Lol

Its literally bigger than their whole body 😂😂
Lol

I love learning about American History from foreigners. It's interesting to see what they have been taught and it's unbiased. Very well done!

you don't become a great power without a little arrogance.
Truth! Thats why Canada may never be a great power, they are like the nicest and most content people ever!

yeah, when they were a lot more arrogant about their imperial ambitions.
Also, I see you all the time on The Great War channel and It's History :P weird
evan nesbitt nice typo btw
I just like how I get taught better and more about history from people like John than my history teachers.
Count on it.
No one can deny the fact that for Britain's size, it did a beyond amazing job of creating a powerful army and empire.

I don't even know where to start...
You don't understand or know communism AT ALL, which is why everything you said doesn't even make sense. All you do is repeating stupid propaganda. :D It's fucking hillarious.
I will give you a REALLY simplistic and brief introduction to Communism and Socialism:
_________
Feudalism: The means of production are in the hands of the monarch
[private] Capitalism: The means of production are owned by private entities
[state] Capitalism: The means of production are owned by the government. *(This is what China/the USSR/North Korea have been or still are.)*
Socialism: The means of production are owned by workers coops
Communism: The means of production are owned by the commune they are located within
_________
The fact that you see Marxism as "just another form of Communism" is also showcasing, that you don't understand his concepts at all. Marx main work was in criticizing our current capitalist society, in which you automatically fall back to a Master-Slave society with the rich capitalists, who own everything, at the top and the poor human capital at the bottom due to the nature of our resources being limited and private entities being allowed to accumulate as much of these limited resources as they want.

He also laid out a possible way of how to reach Communism, which is basically Social Anarchism.
And also the argument of "This is going against human nature" is the most retarded one, that a capitalist can bring against a socialist.
It's also in human nature to murder or steal from someone. And yet we have laws to prohibit that, which therefore are forcing people to live according to the moral standards that we deem best for society, rather than arguing "It is against human nature to have laws!".
I REALLY REALLY ADVISE YOU to first look up these concepts and learn something about Socialism/Communism, before you even dare to argue with me again. So far you've just used fucking stupid arguments, that you would only hear from people, who don't even grasp these concepts.

Devix LaCrêpe Yes the video, where he mentions the contributions made by international powers to the American cause...
Tristan Lane No I have not seen the video but I'm French so I not understand everything he said ^^
And nothing was said about Marquis De Lafayette!
Nien Numb Lafayette was a coward who left his homeland and owned slaves while doing a job dozens others were doing. He’s not very important.
Korol Many of the founding fathers owned slaves
Yeah cause the other fathers had the high ground
I only know this name from the hamilton musical
XD I was making Hamilton references through the video XDD טל לובץ

To France and Spain: thanks for all the help with the revolution!!! To England,Ireland, and Germany: so, we're still cool, right?
-_- yes..... For now....
+Nick Walker Id say Ireland was always cool with us since 1 out of 3 of the American Army was and irishman and there were germans involved on the US side as Von Stuben a Prussian captian that became Washingtons Inspector General in charge of training and tactics , whats not mentioned is the general public of Great britain was appossed to the war and in favor of the American cause , crowds would cheer American victories in public squares louder there then here . The opposition party to the king even went as far as to wear blue and orange (Washingtons uniform colors ).
Don't forget Prussia who taught our army tactics of war
prussian officer trained the american rebells...
I'm Irish and we were made to fight, well I don't mind the Brits so I'm not going to say we had to fight against are will it was mostly the Irish loyalists
Britain came so close to winning and had to take on Spain, France, Netherlands and the rebellion. All the while the tax was to an extent quite reasonable since it was colonists who gained most from the 7 years war. Also if there was no taxation without representation why didn't the colonists take the offer for representation. Also by the end of the war more people were for the crown than the rebellion.
Britain was too far away for representation for the time, and the colonists also didn't feel people who lived such a different life and in a much different place should govern them.
So what did they want originally? They were saying "no taxation without representation" and then don't want representing?
Thomas Norgate They were saying they shouldn't be taxed because they weren't represented. To them it violated their rights.
DylanDude my point is that if they want representation then why did they not take the offer and/reach a comprise?
Thomas Norgate They didn't want representation, at least from what I've read. Britain was too far away, and it didn't make sense for someone that far away to govern them. Imagine if Poland had the ability to govern Mongolia.
That's the situation they were in, except this was 240 years ago and it was even harder to communicate back then. The colonists also lived much differently than the British did, adding to the list of problems.
Thank you France and Spain! You rock!
Dy1Pick3ls no
+Tempz LachIan Why?
Lazar How do know he’s English and what do you agree with him on?
War of 1812 please!
Sean C when the British burnt down the White House
Nichze yea
You got your War of 1812
You are a godsend. I’m studying for my college but I’m a verbal learner. I missed these classes because of health complications.
You’re saving my grade
Currently working with this in college. This was so enlightening! There are so many details and dates and stuff (it's history after all) that I got a bit confused, but you made it so clear with your video! Thank you so much!
you forgot to mention Mel Gibson Help win some of those battles
mac los Lafayette s-senpai where'd you gooo
u forgot ✨bon kukekuek✨
Taxation without representation........
No
You’re dumb stop
Well Britain had just spent millions protecting them from the French, who were an absolute monarchy. (Also until this event they had not been taxed at all)
@@godlovesyou1995 And there wasn't a single bank in the Colonies either. Your point?
Funny that even though Spain helped the U.S.A gain independence, it was the U.S.A who supported the loss of Spanish colonies (all of them) and randomly took West Florida.
FeelBadMan but Florida.....
+SIMcityplayer2002 Yep. Politics is a bitch...
Completely true. 100 years after americans seemed to have forgotten everything!!!! Perfect USA, perfect
The spanish was given 15 million dollars for the colonies after the war, cause they wanted to
keep relations friendly. (Not adjusted for inflation.), Spain didn't want florida and gave it to the USA.
SIMcityplayer2002 West Florida belonged to the British at the time. It's capital was Pensacola. It's why the Spanish attacked it in the battle of mobile in 1780.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! THank you!
Thx dude I have a test today on the American Revolution, and you explained it easy as 2+2 is four - 1 that’s 3 quick mafs.
So basically the Americans originate from Britain so Britain fought against its self and became 2 countries
i class it as a colonial civil war XD
Yup. In fact, most people who call themselves American are... well, wrong. Most people you think of when you say American as in United States of America are of European descent, and Latin America, Central America, and South America tend to be of mostly Spanish descent. Most of the ACTUAL indigenous American population, as in Native Americans, were massacred by Conquistadores and early colonials, I think. I learned all of this a while ago...
Honestly... I don't know. Also, I'm not sure whether you're asking an honest question or mocking, me but the entire point of my comment was that there is no proper adjective for people who live in the united states
at the end its like this US: " Thank you and have a nice day!" UK: "we've created a monster" Me: " AMERICA IS GONNA SAVE YOU ONE DAY
The only invention that i can recall is RADAR
you should do the American mexican war
In other words, WELCOME TO THE UNION
EcuAniMen ! America steals land from a country that didn’t understand land ownership, like the native Americans. They never had a border.
Jason Weber "Steals"
Stop.
Stealing land would be claiming land without any Treaty ect. saying so.
Jason Weber lol I hate to break it to you, but Mexico started the war. They shot at American military personnel in the disputed territory which caused the whole war.
?? Well the point is that Mexico shot first.
I'd like to see the Irish War of Independence next! 🇮🇪
My dad comes from Ireland and I went to a museum about the war in Dublin and I thought it was awesome please do it.
Stephen Murphy he already made one... Kind of... check out his video on the history of ireland
furious george he has. Anything with the word "indepenance" or "revolution" he's been to and commented multiple comments on. I've seen him on ten completely random videos
Stephen Murphy is Ireland that little island next to the UK that nobody ever visits?
Mr B triggered
You are so informative and have a great voice to listen to. I love the drawings too. Your channel is amazing! I've already seen your WW1 and WW2 videos and the Napoleonic Wars video and I think I saw the Cold War video, but it's been a while.
Your videos are really well done so now I'm subscribing. I'll donate to your Patreon some day, but currently I have my own financial issues to deal with and trying to keep a roof over my head.
Your channel is the only reason I'm passing my AP American History class. Thank you.
Was Expecting More Maryland.
1.5/10.
Me too.
Ueaer Maryland
theres never enough maryland
+Maryland I live in Silver Spring, Maryland
Maryland, why is your official sport jousting
And that's why Jaffa cakes are called cakes.
"I need my tea." Lol.
Good job Ruddy! I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Please keep up the good work!
Hi, I have been watching your videos since 2016 when I was in 1st grade, I have learned so much from you, you were my childhood. I took 8th grade U.S. History last year and I got the teacher to show this video to the class.
Aw wonderful! Thanks for sharing this :)
Glad I could be a part of your ongoing eductaion :) keep at it!
Omg why is he talking so fast
John Green: *quaking*
you forgot the Prussian who made the first drill manual
something lavuletts
Baron von Steuben?
:P
:/
Fredrick von Stauben
A few suggestions... American Civil War, Vietnam War, And Korean War! Good job on this video dude :)
Don't know about the Korean War, it really was nothing special. Just two sides pushing back and forth basically
So simple and really good pace and flow... I fall back on pieces of this when I teach in Frontier Trading Co
This video managed to teach me more about the American Revolution in nine minutes then my history teacher in a few months. Wow.
Thanks France, Prussia, Spain, and anyone else who helped!
As an American, I must thank Great Britain for providing me with the most universal language in the world. We had strong fights in the past and my ancestor Justin was in the Revolution (on our side), but if it wasn't for Britain, our world would be very different. Not only for the US but for everyone. I know the world enjoys the fruits of America today, but we would be unrecognizable without Britain. Despite our rocky past, Great Britain is engrained in America. As an American Citizen, I would do all I can in the future to hold our friendship with GB. We were once enemies, but we had to overcome extreme hardship to form a close friendship. What better nation to fight with during the World Wars but with GB.
I am just in awe of our history. Bitter at first, but sealed in an unbreakable bond since. You all gave us our language! We speak the Queen's language...with a few tweaks :) Anyway, I am fascinated with our history and if need be, in the future, I will fight to the end to keep our friendship with our fellow English brothers. UK & US forever!
France is for another comment. We have such great love for you! Any American says otherwise...they are sorely unamerican. What a great world we live.
I agree, but remember a lot of Americans were loyal at the time.
France and Spain are the real mvp's.
America fought 3 years before the French came in by themselves + French and Spanish were barely even relevant for the most part except for funding and trading. Barely had a military presence.
Kinda like the USA in WWI
Kyle97x and ww2... American been doing this... Also to say france did nothing is funny.. As said in the video they went bankrupt because of it and all got their head removed, I think its a big enough sacrifice...
Also none mention the canadians that couldnt "help" because they had too many british with them but they did REFUSE to help british, if they would have helped there wouldnt be USA at least not at the same time.
Gerard Le Vaar more french soldiers fought in the us independence war than Americans lmao, I’m not saying u owe us something but ur statement is untrue as hell
@@Kyle97x In WW2, in WW1 they did nothing
This was really helpful for my studies Mr.John. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video!!
*when your a Hamilton trash and see the drawing as the cast* Dear lord what has my mind become ? xD
Hello People Being forced to watch this in History
Sam and Stephen I am not forced to watch this I am watching just cause assassins creed 3
Well I'm envious of your teacher then...
If only my teacher could give such a great homework...
AV3S Tube for real
hello
some random guy on the internet sup
I would rather if u had done this in 15 minutes so as to not talk so fast. Jeez
did u try it and see how funny is it?
SLOW THE VIDEO DOWN.
And if you slow down the video, it sounds as if he was forced to say all this!
Im Bored then open up a book
what u guys can do is (im using a laptop so )
click the 3 dots right below the video and click ''open transcript'
that has the whole video scripted and also has time stamps which makes it easier
You have done so many amazing videos!
Thank you for showing the true value of america and what we went through
Even if the Colonists accepted a place in Parliament, they still wouldn't have had been given enough seats to make any impact. The UK was far more populous than the colonies. They only leverage the Americans had over them was economics.
I've always been fascinated by lessening about a countries history by someone not from it, I know you're not really offering different perspectives of it, but it's still cool none the less :P
*learning
+Zach Antle *country's

I love how you've all ignored everything I've said over one grammar mistake lol
I think the one war in history that fascinates me the most, is the American Revolution and I am not even American, I am English! I just find this war inspiring, how they fought for their nations rights and freedoms that they still enjoy today, I am actually glad they won, I may not be able to enjoy the same freedoms as an American citizen, but I am happy that such a country exists in the world, which enables people to have certain inalienable rights, such as the right to keep and bare arms, Its difficult to get American citizenship now for me here in England, It was a close war, but I just have to say well done for achieving independence against well the worlds super power at the time, Smart move by france in the battle towards the end.. I have also watched the film the patriot, and in that film, you see historic buildings with the Union jack flying above them, then the next day the star spangled banner, still, to this day in certain parts of England, you have old buildings with our flag flying above them, I try and imagine life in the colonies, and what hoisting the American flag above the building must have meant for them... fighting for Freedom.
Total freedom isn't always good (Gun Control)
+grunt11795 First of all; HAAAAAAAA.
And to the OP; if you want to watch a historical film about the Revolutionary War don't watch the Patriot.
Can't think of any good ones to recommend at the moment but I can definitely say that you should take anything you watch in the Patriot with a garbage truck full of salt. There are so many inaccuracies with that movie it should be called "America: the Fictional Story of How Our Country thinks it actually Beat the United Kingdom".
Proud American here; but I can't endorse such falsified drivel.
+George Rector (grector4) just to point something out, the 2nd amendment says that people can bear guns for the use of the militia they are to be part of, which we no longer have unless you count the national guard, but let's be fair that doesn't really count. I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying that's what our founding fathers meant. And gun control to an extent isn't the worst, as long as it keeps it out of the hands of people that shouldn't have lethal weapons.
grunt11795 Canada my dude
Figthing for politicians, bankers and war profiteers you mean* btw we have no freedom today. We gave them up a long time ago.
Awesome, thanks so much!
Great video :D Also the Irish Volunteers character you drew is amazing!
Can you do the german unification next?
Dude Love Your Art Style Its Very Comic Strip Looking
Where is Hamilton and where is Marquis De Lafayette
Hamilton was trying to get the troops paid back in Philly and Lafayette was getting his feet wet in combat for the first time, while at the same time trying his best to learn English. Then, _BAMM,_ Hamilton winds up on Washington's staff and Lafayette (who liked to be called Gil) leads his men to some decent victories in the South.
Youre saving my life, thank you!!!
i litteraly was confused about the american revolution in class since thats what were learning about in my History ALP class. and im glad i clicked on this video it made my understanding of the revolution more clear and i understand what has been going on in class now, thank you for this video it really helped
4:28 Star Wars?
What?
Suwin Khamchaiwong it’s a reference
Me: I hate paying my taxes
America: lol
One of the United States of America's long-standing traditions is resentment of the tax, and even more resentment if the taxed aren't represented.
Civil War was not fought over slavery. It was state vs federal powers.
Slavery was one of the main reasons.
Scotttttt
but it wasnt
TheCapitalistic Yes it was, state rights to keep slaves.
No history books!
Scotttttt
and to have more state rights. Was slavery an issue? Yes. Was it the main issue? No.
Awesome job, Nice illustrations
Finally a video that’s give a good and quick explanation for the American Revolution

Yup

Hello! Good morning/afternoon/evening!
I was wondering, perhaps you could do a video on the rise and fall of the Prussian Empire? Not many people know about the former country's history, or for that matter, its existence. Thank you!
~Allison
Ooh yea i want something about that too!
This video explained the American Revolution more thoroughly and vividly than my 4th grade teacher from 2 years ago.
I just found your channel and I really love it. I'm learning so much in so little time :)
The UK and USA are basically family, the USA is just a grumpy teenager "LEAVE ME ALONE MOM! I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF NOW!", and the UK is a forceful mother "DO YOUR HOMEWORK OR NO POCKETMONEY!" *slap*
The USA ran away from home and the UK, but the two will always be family
France was cool dad, and Spain the perverted uncle.
nah
Now that angsty teen is grown up and the head of a major corporation. Gave his little brother a job and decided to try and reconnect after that dispute with your nahbor Germany.
When you really think about it, American independence was kind of inevitable. There was literally no need to be part of Britain, they were too far away from each other, the states didn't require anything from Britain, there was simply no point in remaining tied to the British.
They had no need to leave when you really think about it.
(They also had protection from the sea.)
France 🇫🇷❤️❤️🙏🏼
Don't forget that the battle of Bunker Hill didn't actually happen there, but instead on Breeds Hill.
Much better at 75% speed. Aside from that, it's very useful for review. I particularly like that the years shown on every screen. I'll be watching this again.
and the indians were waiting... "hey where is this christopher columbus guy? "

Hello people being forced to watch this in social studies
Love your channel
Thanks. Just what I was looking for.
Was this the first war where Spain and The Netherlands fought on the same side?
Huntracony Spain had nothing to with this war.
***** 6:17 "In 1779 Spain officially entered the war on the side of the Americans"
I meant physically they had nothing to do with it, They didn't fight or help the americans
***** They did help keep British forces stretched thin in the Caribbean.
***** If you can't beat someone straight up, best to tire them instead.
At 3:20 its funny because Ireland rebels against Britain in the early 1900s
1916 Easter rising...
Ireland was under British rule so they had no choice but to fight with the Brits,while Irish living in America fought with Washingtons army against the Brits.
@@eibhlin5940 they volunteeted to fight in British army.
@@godlovesyou1995 It was a better job than they could find at home. Google Tom Barry and Emmet and Charlie Dalton, Irish War of Independence men who had All served in the British Army. Then there was Major John MacBride, executed by the British after the 1916 Easter Rising. He fought with the Boers in the Second Boer War.
Is anyone expecting the narrator at the end of each video to say, "Have Fun"?
May I have permission to use this for one of my class assignments if I give you full credit and change up a few words?
omg thx so much dude i got an A in history thx to your amazing video. It was quite a shock when I saw my grade because i suck at history
2:57 I got mindfucked because I legit thought there were only two people in the Continental Army. Also, I legit thought a spaceship came on the first Independence Day and abducted everyone! Thank god I watched this video!
without france there would be no America but that being said without America there would be no France
Are you referring to ww2?
Lafayette!

Thank you for this!! I've been searching for a brief summary video of the war for ages and this is just perfect.
Just and FYI: There is often confusion over alot, a lot and allot. The most common mistake involving these words is writing alot instead of a lot. Remember, the word alot does not exist (unless you mean the Indian town of Alot). Alot ought to be two words; i.e., it is a misspelling of a lot.
