USA : France please save us
France : Sorry, i have other th...
USA : It’s against England
France : *Ooooh mon gars*

[davsalda]

You left out the Spanish retaking of Florida coming from Louisiana, which tied down British forces and the Spanish efforts to fund the continental army $$ to keep it fighting.

[wanali]

Britain: hey you watched the vid?
Viewers: yea
Britain: yeah... there’s a tax for that

Some one says Geo history:

Me: Now that’s a name that haven’t heard in a long long time.

[jacksagrafsky]

Born and raised in New Jersey as a student we were taught how many battles were fought there. I see that not just NJ was the battlefield but the entire then states. Thanks for the revamped history lesson. Never too old to see new spin on what was the birth of my Nation.

For all Americans who didn't know yet. That Morocco was the first country in the world to recognize the US in the year 1777. 🇲🇦 💪🏽 🇺🇸

[saetainlatin]

You should mention Bernardo de Galvez, the spanish were as essential as the french to the patriots to win against the british.

[pageboysam]

FYI, the French flags should be a gold fleur-de-lis on blue background of the monarchy, not the blue/white/red of the post-revolution republic.

[TGACmapper]

USA: France can u help me in a war?
France: well u-
USA: it’s against Britain
France: GETCHA GUNS WERE FIGHTINGA WAR!

[TILR]

The only things I would have mentioned are the articles of confederation, the recognition from Morocco, the Republic of Vermont

[AverytheCubanAmerican]

Colonists: Dump tea in Boston harbor
Colonists: Why do I hear boss music?

Geo History: *Releases a new video*

Me: "The fastest click in the west"

This must be the super-mega-abridged version. There were well over 200 battles in the Americas which was why the British ended up only controlling a few ports at the end of the war. They were basically stuck there by failing to secure supply routes into the colonies to support army movements and therefore largely reliant on the British Navy for supplies.

Nice video!! By the way, Spain also financiated the rebels since 1775 with Roderigue Hortalez y Compañía, for example, and give them lots of weapons, equipment, ammunition, powder and uniforms. Also sent about 11K men to the war but they never fought side by side with the rebels. All this, of course, because they wanted the british empire to be weaker, not to help the USA.

As usual the stories we can read in english forget (it seems often intentionally) the esential contribution of Spain to USA Independence:
Bernardo de Galvez, Virrey de Nueva España y Gobernador de Louisiana, defeated the British in Mobila, Charlotte and Pensacola (Florida) in 1780 with an army of 1.500, white, black, copper and mixed-race soldiers ensuring the south. More than 30.000 rifles, powder and other amunition supplies, loaded in Cuba to the allied French fleet and sent to Washington army, was critical.
In European waters, the decisive battle of Cape St. Vincent in January 1780, where Luis de Cordova, captured almost sixty British ships of the British double convoy that were destined for the colonial war maintained by Great Britain, which caused an important logistic and moral blow to the Britishs . Of the English convoy captured, in addition to 52 ships, 80 000 muskets, 3000 barrels of gunpowder, large quantities of naval supplies and effects intended to keep the English fleets in America and the Indian Ocean operational, clothing and equipment for 12 infantry regiments (36 000 soldiers), and the huge sum of £1 000 000 in gold bars and coins for payment of troops and bribes (all the ships and goods captured were valued at some £600 000). In addition, about 3, 000 prisoners were taken, of whom about 1, 400 were officers and infantrymen who went overseas as reinforcements. It should be noted that the normal size of British troops in America was 40, 000 men. English reinforcements would never reach America and this caused the London Stock Exchange to go bankrupt.
Last but not least through the house of Joseph de Gardoqui and Sons, Spain sent to the USA 6, 150, 000 reales de a ocho in cash, and payment orders. These coins, the famous Spanish dollars, introduced in the USA, are the most popular. AMERICA by Luis de Unzaga and Amézaga's friend, Oliver Pollock, served to support the American public debt.

6:15 I thought he said "Lack of Memes" lol

[NoodleErik]

Everyone in the comments: OMG HE'S BACK!!
Me: I've never met this man in my life.

[tuff]

Could you continue the revolutions and talk about south america`? They are almost always neglected by history channels

[Beaglemaster]

5:53 is incorrect. Should have said:
_"In New York, British forces land on Staten Island"_, not Long Island. In the video you can clearly see the British forces leaving Staten Island, crossing the Narrows to Brooklyn and Long Island. The British used the strategic location of Staten Island to house 30, 000 troops for the invasion of NYC.

Brilliant. Much easier to learn with your vids than sitting at school and dozing off. Keep up the great work!!!
