Civilization V Leader | Washington of America

George Washington (1732 - 1799 AD) was one of a group of remarkable men who lived in the American Colonies in the late eighteenth century. Although not as pugnacious as John Adams, as imaginative as Benjamin Franklin or as brilliant as Thomas Jefferson, Washington had the capacity to lead, in war and in peace. He led the Continental Army to victory against extraordinary odds, and by so doing he led his country to independence.

The title is determined by what that civ has been doing throughout the game. For example if America had been war mongering throughout the game then the title might be "Washington the Terrible"

[@sjsrcr]

[@Syndie702]

Well Anke, your A- was not earned through actual understanding of the complexities of history. That state of non-AP US History classes is deplorable, but that's beside the point. Prior to World War II, American colonial efforts were aggressive and by no means in pursuit of peace. I think General Smedley Butler of the United States Marine Corps put it best. "I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." The United States is just another Western power with a history of moral ambiguity and imperialism. We are not evil, but do not try and pretend we are good.

[@starred1096]

It's that "imperialism and war mongering" that allows you to say shit like this dumbass, be thankful.

[@CommanderGene]

I'm sorry, but either you are trolling or you have no idea what you're talking about. George Washington did everything possible to avoid a war with either Britain or France (and, coincidentally, John Adams followed the same policy as well after Washington). Adams even ended up losing reelection because he did not pursue a war with France, which would have been popular at the time.

[@Alex_FRD]

There is so much to make fun of in this 61 second clip. A man from the late 1700s speaking with a modern Southern accent (Bill Clinton). "Love of peace" from a country controlled by the military-industrial complex. "I graciously accept." = "All right." "Making such a declaration at this point in our relationship would be premature. Maybe another time." = "No."

I have an A- in American History right now. The only time between that war that wasn't trying to have full peace was the Civil War, in which we fought ourselves, other than that though we didn't roll around on anyone. You need to stop being so narrow minded and only say what is the truth now. US has only been in 6 Wars excluding the middle-east ones because I don't even know how many that counts as.

I declared war over oil and felt sorry when refusing his later peace proposal, felt even more sorry when I took Washington and erased America from the map. S-sorry America, I respect and admire your love of freedom but my people's interests have to come first!

[@parkeryoudontknowme1516]

It sounds like Bill Clinton

[@CJTheInvader]

Maybe you should focus your efforts on better arguments. I responded to his comment, then he responded to me about a week later, and he still hasn't responded back. This comment chain hasn't even gone on for long, It barely qualifies as an argument. Not to mention, getting mad at people arguing and then screaming at them and telling them to shut the fuck up usually makes a bigger argument with you involved,

[@michaelmilburn911]

Being a hypocrite at the end :D

[@CJTheInvader]

You seem like a real stand-up guy. Maybe instead of bitching about how bad america is, you should improve yourself. In civ, they find a good way to talk about everything, including autocracy. Freedom is what america preaches at the very least, that is undeniable. Its called an ideology for a reason. PS: America is an example of the freedom ideology. It is by far not the only civ that falls under that blanket. "IM NOT TALKING ABOUT ANYONE ELSE!" So you think it is a propaganda team effort

You know that at that point (Late 18th century) we Americans were tired of war and unrest, we wanted peace more than anything. Also never insult Washington for a second, he was among the finest group of people this nation ever produced, no one today in any country even ranks in comparison with Washington. Certainly no one in the U.S, but i'd go as far to say the whole world.
