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.

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.

@@ianthompson3038 Capture of Fort Bute (Manchac): In September 1779, Spanish forces led by Bernardo de Gálvez captured Fort Bute (also known as Fort New Richmond) in Manchac, Louisiana. This victory secured Spanish control over the Mississippi River and hindered British supply lines. Capture of Baton Rouge: In September 1779, following the capture of Fort Bute, Spanish forces under Bernardo de Gálvez advanced further and successfully captured Baton Rouge, Louisiana, from the British. Capture of Mobile: In March 1780, Spanish forces led by Bernardo de Gálvez launched an offensive against the British-held city of Mobile (in present-day Alabama). After a siege, the Spanish forces captured the city and secured another victory. Capture of Pensacola: The capture of Pensacola, Florida, was one of the most significant victories for Spain during the American Revolutionary War. In 1781, Spanish forces, along with American and French allies, launched a joint offensive against the heavily fortified city. After a siege, Spanish forces led by Bernardo de Gálvez successfully captured Pensacola, dealing a significant blow to British control in the region. Battle of San Fernando de Omoa: In 1779, Spanish forces, led by Juan Manuel Cajigal, defended the fortress of San Fernando de Omoa (in present-day Honduras) against a British naval and land assault. Despite facing a larger British force, the Spanish successfully defended the fort and prevented its capture. Battle of St. Louis: In May 1780, Spanish forces led by Fernando de Leyba, along with local militia and Native American allies, defended St. Louis (then a Spanish settlement) against a British-led attack. The Spanish successfully repelled the assault, securing the city and preventing British control in the region. Battle of Fort Charlotte: In March 1780, Spanish forces, under the command of Bernardo de Gálvez, launched an offensive against Fort Charlotte, a British stronghold in Mobile, Alabama. After a siege, the Spanish captured the fort, marking another significant victory. Battle of St. Louis: In May 1780, Spanish forces led by Fernando de Leyba, along with local militia and Native American allies, defended St. Louis (then a Spanish settlement) against a British-led attack. The Spanish successfully repelled the assault, securing the city and preventing British control in the region. Capture of Fort Panmure: In April 1781, Spanish forces, supported by French troops and American militia, captured Fort Panmure (also known as Fort James) in present-day Mississippi. This victory further weakened British control in the region. Naval Battle of Cape Santa Maria: In March 1782, a Spanish fleet, under Admiral José Solano, engaged a British fleet in the Battle of Cape Santa Maria near the Bahamas. The Spanish fleet successfully defeated the British, securing control over the area and disrupting British naval operations in the region. In addition: Support for American Privateers: Spain provided support and safe harbors for American privateers, who were authorized to raid and capture British merchant vessels. These privateers inflicted significant damage on British shipping and further weakened their maritime power in the region. Support for the Siege of Savannah: In 1779, Spanish forces, along with French troops and American forces, participated in the joint Franco-American siege of Savannah, Georgia, which was held by the British. Although the siege ultimately ended in failure and the city remained in British hands, Spain's participation showcased their commitment to the American cause. Naval Blockade of British-held ports: Spain's navy played a crucial role in imposing blockades on British-held ports in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. These blockades hindered British supply lines, prevented reinforcements, and disrupted trade, putting additional pressure on the British forces. Diplomatic Contributions: In addition to military actions, Spain's diplomatic efforts were instrumental in securing international support for the American colonists. Spain's recognition of American independence in the Treaty of Aranjuez and their subsequent alliance with the United States helped legitimize and strengthen the American cause. SORRY, SAY AGAIN? SPAIN IS NOT PART OF WHAT?

[@Matt_Alaric]

Whilst good on the American front, this video vastly under represents the amount of fighting that took place in other theatres. The largest battle of the entire war, the great siege of Gibraltar, took place in Europe and didn't involve any American troops at all. By the end of the war 75% of the British army was stationed in SE England to repel a threatened invasion from 100,000+ French and Spanish troops based in northern France, and there were multiple battles between Franco-Spanish troops and British soldiers as far afield as India, Africa, the Caribbean and South America.

From Yorkshire England: To best understand this conflict please google ‘Victory Arch Parlington Hall Yorkshire’. This monument was built in 1783 by English Patriots to celebrate American Liberty! The Patriot movement actually started as a branch of the English Whig Party. These Whigs campaigned for votes for all men, an end to political corruption, and to regain the ancient rights of Englishmen they believed lost. They were opposed by the Tory Party. Tories were for the monarchy and maintaining the status quo. This political conflict between Patriot Whig and Tory spread to the colonies. To English Patriots, America being more Whig than Tory was seen as low hanging fruit. Just as American Tories fought with the British some English Whigs fought on the American side. In 1781 the Whig Marquess of Rockingham was invited to become Prime Minister. He agreed on the condition that he be allowed to set America free! I’ve spent lockdown writing a little book on all that’s just been published by our local Civic Society.

This was also not the typical country invading country; it was a war fought for freedom and independence.

[@JC-uv1zy]

The term "World War" is commonly associated with large-scale conflicts involving multiple nations across different continents. The American Revolutionary War, although significant in its own right, primarily involved Britain and its colonies. While other European powers, such as France, Spain, and the Netherlands, provided support to the American colonists, their involvement was not on the same scale as the major powers involved in later world wars. The scale and intensity of the American Revolutionary War were not comparable to the massive conflicts that later earned the designation of "world wars." The term "world war" is typically associated with the scale, complexity, and duration of conflicts such as World War I and World War II, which involved a large number of countries across multiple continents.

@@usarkarzts4207 Well thats not 100% accurate. St Augustine is the oldest continuous settlement in the US, but it isn't the first. There have been colonies in NA going back since the 10th century and settlements during the "colonizing period" of Europeans powers well before St. Augustine was established going back to the late 1400's. And if you REALLY want to get technical, the tribes of people that crossed into the America's during the human migration period that eventually became the Native American Tribes established the first settlements and colonies.

In this video nothing is mentioned about Spain, but the role of Spain was crucial in the war, I mean Spain sent 11000 soldiers to the war whereas France 5000 soldiers, Spain pay Spanish soldiers, France soldiers and the revels of the thirdteen colonies, Spain gave new free weapons to the revels, and blocked England to enter in the Mexican gulf, to avoid England troops to enter in the Mississippi river. Americans, Spain helped you to get you independence, you have forgotten about, Spain, you took the last spanish colonies Cuba, Puerto Rico, Philippines and Guam, and now most of you don't know the difference between Mexico and Spain, as a Spaniard I have to say I'm sad😭

This was quite impressive.

The British eventually got their revenge on the Dutch, Spanish, French and the Danes ( Great Britain was also at war with Denmark). The invasion of Spain via Portugal knocked Spain out of the war, the defeat of the French fleet at the Nile and Spanish, French fleet at Trafalgar left Great Britain the dominant naval power in Europe. The Danish fleet was totally destroyed by the Royal Navy at the battle of Copenhagen. The ultimate victory of course was the battle of Waterloo which paved the way for Pax Britannica the worlds dominant superpower. 🤔Wonder who holds that position now😁

[@zamirroa]

The one who holds that position is USA. Britain never got revenged from Spain, actually the one that destroyed Spain was Napoleon, but his empire was also destroyed.

@@zamirroa You have no rite to say USA is a superpower...sure it has numbers...but your military record isn't exactly sparkling is it? You haven't even fought a war for yourself...those you have such as Vietnam...you failed sadly. Middle east was a waste of 2 arguably 3 decades worth of fighting. Now you're running scared of Putin - faced of the threat of going to war against at least semi-trained soldiers with more weapons than just old AKs, RPGs and rusty mortars. Your average soldier has an IQ of around 70-80 and the physical fitness of a kid who plays COD on his arse eating shit for 12 hours a day and going to the gym..for 10 minutes every other 3 days. Says a lot when your most elite special forces units recruit directly from the streets with fitness requirements almost identical to a British Army CHEF

[@JC-uv1zy]

You are mixing up unrelated events, even the sides of different conflicts. These events are unrelated with America and were not retaliation specifically for the American Revolutionary War, but rather part of the complex web of conflicts that unfolded in Europe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The invasion of Spain via Portugal refers to the Peninsular War, which occurred after the American Revolutionary War. It was part of the larger Napoleonic Wars and involved the French invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, including Spain and Portugal. During the Peninsular War, Britain did side with Spain and Portugal against Napoleon's forces. British forces, under the leadership of the Duke of Wellington, played a significant role in supporting Spanish and Portuguese resistance to French occupation. The British collaboration and their contribution to the war effort are recognized in various monuments and memorials in Spain. These memorials acknowledge the role of the British forces in assisting the Spanish resistance and contributing to the ultimate defeat of the French in the Peninsular War. The references to the French fleet at the Nile and the Spanish-French fleet at Trafalgar relate to naval battles during the Napoleonic Wars, highlighting the naval supremacy of the Royal Navy in these engagements. The mention of the Danish fleet being destroyed by the Royal Navy at the Battle of Copenhagen is also related to the Napoleonic Wars and the British efforts to neutralize potential threats. Finally, the reference to the Battle of Waterloo signifies the decisive defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte, which led to significant political changes in Europe and contributed to the subsequent dominance of the British Empire during the 19th century.

Well, actually the Declaration of Independence was supposed to have a condemnation of slavery. However, it was removed because of the Southern Colonies, out of fear there wouldn't ratify it. Then a compromise was made to ban the importation of slaves after so many years, with the trans-Atlantic slave trade ending decades before the civil war. At the time of the Revolutionary, War slavery was seen as an immoral dying practice. Since it was seen as dying the North agreed not to outlaw it until it naturally faded away since it was no longer economically efficient. It wasn't until the cotton gin was invented that slavery was no longer dying. So really at the time of the inception of the nation, there was full intent to end the practice, which in many ways was already ending, but internal factors prevented it.
