How is the American Revolution taught in British history?
>>81669242
it's not
>>81669242
i don't remember it coming up to be frank.

I wouldn't teach that either if I were you cunts.
>>81669242
I wonder why.
>>81669242
Yea, I dont think in the UK they teach them about the american revolution
>>81669516
I can see why, it must be quite embarrassing. If you're lucky, the historians of centuries to come will also gloss over the fact that we have military bases on your frosty little island

>>81669242
I live by Washingtons Crossing in New Jersey and act every Christmas in the reenactment of crossing the Delaware to slaughtered Brits. In the summer I go tubing on the river and drink beer with my friends on the floating cooler. My neighbor has a house that hosted Washingtons army. How do you Brit losers think about that? You probably need a permit to tube and I can bring my shotgun.
>>81669793
Guess it's not taught in America either.
>>81669242
yeah we didn't do the american revolution in school. we did the russian revolution though
we also didn't do much about lots of other phases of british history. that's what happens when you have a country with a history as long as the uk, you have to miss a lot of stuff out.
i also bet that there is a lot of stuff about the american revolution that isn't taught in american schools. for example, that it had popular support in the uk and was backed by some uk politicians

We have a shitload of history to learn about our country m8 and whilst clearly it's a huge part of American history and culture etc it doesn't really register very highly with us at all.
Not trying to be insulting lid, it's your independence and it should be a big deal in America as it shaped your nation, it just isn't taught here as I guess we have more important events in our history to learn about.
>>81669793
Are you talking about the American Revolution or the Vietnam War friendo?
Britain only feels bad about governing non-whites without consent.
>>81669793
Seems like they don't teach it in America either

The delusion is real.

in seriousness, history lessons were more like a series of "case studies" looking at particular events in history, not a comprehensive timeline of events from the neolithic to the modern day. i think the exact subjects were chosen by the school from a list of potential subjects made by the government, but that's a guess. i wouldn't be surprised if the american revolution was on the curriculum somewhere. i vaguely remember being taught about the french revolution.
obviously we found time for the obligatory lessons on the slave trade and nazis.

Sound about right?
>>81670796
It certainly is. Honestly. Shut the fuck up. It's like you're embracing the Americunt stereotype
>>81670735
This is the sad reality in both countries. We don't learn our own histories, not likely to learn other people's.
England has a very rich and interesting history. I like learning about it. They roots of American liberty stretch back to liberties and rights secured by generations of Englishmen.
its not
we only learn about islamic history and that saying anything about brown people is literally the worst thing in the universe
>>81671011
>i think the exact subjects were chosen by the school from a list of potential subjects made by the government,
They are.
My school studied the American west from 1840-1900, along with the history of protest as optional modules.
Alternates were Germany 1919-1945, or Russia during the Bolshevik uprising IIRC, along with a load more I don't remember.

Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion, I could talk about my ancestors in particular who were Veterans from Switzerland.
There were a bunch of people with actual military experience on the US's side.
But honestly the US revolution was basically your Vietnam which is probably why they don't like to teach it in the UK.
>>81670796
Think you need to brush up on your European history pal.
What we do learn about America over here though is about the depression in 1929. its effects on your population and how that affected your country and why it happened..isolationism and all that. We learn about the TVA and public works programs. We also do a bit on your role in WW2 plus some Vietnam as well, but in a more global perspective.

did you?
quite pleased that i finished school before all this shit started
we did some stuff about prehistory, the industrial revolution, the russian revolution and some stuff i can't remember
i remember my history teacher gave me an earful once because my picture of an australopithecus was a bit shit
americans probably don't learn about that stage of history though because most of them believe the world is 6000 years old or some shit like that

Kek
>>81670445
>that it had popular support in the uk and was backed by some uk politicians
No, we're taught this and mainly because a lot of our stuff was based on British documents (Magna Carts) and statesmen/critics (Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine etc.)
>>81671406
>Everyone has one of those, the holiday where you blow a lot of shit up.
Ours is bonfire night, comfy in Winter
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot.
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes, guy, t'was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.
By god's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.
And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!
all we learn about in history is what the teacher happens to pick from a very narrow set of topics.
>some stuff about Harald Hardrada
>some random shit about Henry VIII and his meme wives
>visit some castles
then if you pick history for a gcse you actually learn things, but even then it's very modern history like ww2, cold war, nazi germany, stalins russia, the troubles. its sad really.
>>81669793
Why would you be like this? Like honestly? I wanted to actually know how it was taught and you just make them hate us. Why?

>>81669516
What do they teach you about December 16, 1773?
>>81670602
Couldn't the argument be made that learning about the American Revolution is more important then other parts of your history because the US is still one of the biggest players on the global stage. I mean besides Cromwell the magna carta and the battle of sterling what else do you really need to know.

>>81669242
It's not, and if so its not a big deal. The British empire sailed for 500 years, it's a speck of dust to the grand scale of things.
When Britain lost America they gained India, far more valuable.
>>81672120
Actually the proper tradition is to burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes, people call the effigy "The Guy"
>>81669242
It doesn't, like how we don't cover the War of 1812 in the states. Even when it is covered, they say it's a tie.
Canada+UK invaded the US and burned down the white house, we never even got to the UK. It wasn't a tie, it was a bitch slap so the UK could go back to its other business uninterrupted.
No country discusses their losses well.
>>81672120
We burn effigies of him on bonfires, that's how it works right?
Though down here in Somerset we have carnivals around that time of year too.
>>81670796
You realise we created the modern world, right?
>>81671233
Checked and righto mate
Did you go to a private school? Because the general answer I'm getting is that they don't teach much history in the main public schools in the UK.

>we did some stuff about prehistory, the industrial revolution, the russian revolution and some stuff i can't remember
yeah, we did the industrial/russian revolution too. i don't want to exaggerate, it's not like it was a constant stream of multicultural propaganda. we learnt about medieval castles, the norman conquest, the (english) civil war and cromwell.
we did vietnam actually too, so there's some american history.
>>81672120
It actually has nothing to do with blowing things up. Historically bonfires were originally used to celebrate the safety of the king, hence the name Bonfire night. Spergs and underclass scum use it as an excuse to spend their bennies on fireworks.
>>81670864
>thousands of years to go
Before the Romans y'all were "Barbarous savages" and were "enriched" by the Romans. Everything after that is good to know stuff but really it only starts just before the Vikings came. I love your history to be honest but it only gets interesting after the Welsh, Anglos, Irish and Scots stop doing the predictable shit
>become leader
>get killed
>repeat
I was doing my Ancestry shit and my line was some weird fucking Glanmorgan Nobles and there were some fucking hilarious things but not really that much detail and not very important to learn for anyone else. (Dude wanted his land back, so he climbed this guys castle with his bare hands and took him and his daughter hostage...he then married the daughter and got the land back).
Its not. In fact the British Empire is barely mentioned at all.
Been a while since I was at school but we started off young Romans, Dark Ages, Vikings, William the Conquerer, Henry VIII, then Elizabeth I when we got to 14 years old.
For GCSE (15 to 16 years old) which is optional, we start at the outbreak of WW1, then Great Depression, rise of Hitler and WW2.
Pretty weird when you think about it, we go from about 500BC to 1600AD. Then we miss out all the Empire stuff entirely and basically do early 20th century world history (1913-1945).
The Rise of Hitler module in particular went on for ages, almost like they were trying to drive into our minds that Hitler and Nationalism is Baaad mkay! I sense left wing teaching unions had a hand in this!
>>81672120
it's a kind of mishmash with pagan traditions. thats why we burn an effigy of a man who was actually hanged.
it happens a few days after halloween. it's basically a pagan fire festival.
incidentally we still have those (fire festivals) on remote corners of these islands too- pic related for example- proper wicker man stuff
>>81669516
>>81669591

Yes because draining a shit ton of resources to fight some shit war is nothing like Vietnam

Thousand years worth of history to be crammed in, also the American revolution is your history, it's of importance to you, not us. It's about the only thing of importance in your history.

All i did was tell you that it wasn't taught.
This could be because its an embarrassment
Or it could be because its not good for the whole nation to learn about its failures.
for example i would assume that in america they don't spend a great amount of time learning about Vietnam, then again SJW white guild anti nationalism is prevalent among many educational institutions.
Personally i am not at all embarrassed about the British defeat, you won fair and square albeit with some help, as i am not embarrassed by many defeats that Britannia has endured in her bloody history as a global empire.
Thinking about it i would hazard a guess that if we had won, that the following the instability and no doubt ruthlessness on our part would have probably then been taught to us as standard in most schools as an example of how colonialism is flawed or some shit along those lines.

The rise of global commerce and the east India trading company
Then you have the birth of industrialisation
Social reform NHS women's suffrage
Both world wars
All the stuff you mentioned
And that's just off the top of my head but it all is a part of British history
Get what you mean about relevance and all that but historically speaking hundreds of years of the world's past was shaped by Britain so it's all relevant in a way
Politics is different though. In my A levels you could do a politics course and 50% of that was on America. Really interesting political system, incredibly frustrating for making changes though. Even more rigid than parliament over here

The U.S had far more decisive victories in the war of 1812 than the British. They just had the more theatrical ones. They played it defensively for the first two years of the war mind you. We conquered much of Northern Canada under poor military leadership and only got repulsed from Montreal. After they burned D.C and attempted to invade New York they were blown the fuck out so intensely we even wrote a fucking song about it. "Star-Spangled Banner"

I honestly thought England was a country where everyone drank tea walked around wearing red coats, powdered wigs and worshiping there king....
A modern country living in the 18th century..
I was extremely disappointed to find out a year or two later, wile looking at a school poster depicting cities of the world, That London and Britain looked just as boring as every thing hear in the US..

If you actually study or read up on the American Revolution you'd realise it was in the long run a benefit to England as the colonies in America operated at a loss financially. It also saw the end of the French dominance of the Atlantic trade routes and allowed us to secure them, as well as diminish the remnants of the Spanish threat.
Which in turn bankrupted France, prompting their own revolution. Trade is everything, money is everything. Land, sentimental values, easily replaced with money.
I mean who wants to keep rebuilding towns that were burned down by the French (Seven Years War) or by Native Americans (Pontiac's Rebellion) because Washington was incompetent?
Why would we defend or secure the 13 colonies when the French tried to invade our money making factories in the Caribbean?
History is interesting, if Americans truly delved in and studied their revolution in depth they'd realise that it crippled them financially and catapulted England into becoming the Empire.
America being a faggot helped birth the worlds greatest empire. So in short, thank you America. Appreciate it.

"We were in ownership of what would one day become the most powerful nation on the planet. They declared independence, rebelled against us. A Great War was waged in which we lost and the United States of America became an independent nation, the nation which is now the most powerful on the planet and has been for a century."

Yes its disgusting of the teaching board really. I now feel like our glory days were denied and brushed under the carpet but when youre 14 or so you dont realise you are being conned out of your identity. The empire was barely mentioned until it collapsed, except for the Amritsar massacre of course ;)
The teaching Unions in the UK are notoriously left-wing so I think they had a hand in it somehow. I suppose they didnt want us thinking we had to spread more 'civilization' around the world!
>>81670602
y'all have a much better history than us.
>>81672677
no dad thats what happened in Canada, you beat the French and they won.
you do realise we have tons of history more relevant? our history isn't 200 years old
we don't learn it
As someone who has been educated in UK comprehensives and in US public schools, I feel i can speak to this matter.

I sincerely doubt Russia would've had the capabilities for a cross channel invasion. Had the US not """intervened""" Germany would've still lost to Russia but the Ruskos would've sustained astronomical casualties. The optimistic outlook for Russia would've been an entire assimilation of Germany, not just the Eastern front, but not much else.
Most historical scholars have concluded that the war could've been won without US assistance albeit at a longer rate. Credit where credit's due though, you helped shorten the war.

No that's not what it's about at all you retard. Fort Mchenry WAS invaded. It was being bombarded by the British with weapons far more advanced than ours at that time period. However no matter how effective the bombardment miraculously the soldiers garrisoned inside withstood little to no casualties. When the British realized they couldn't force passage by bombarding the fort Charles Napier tried to lead the fleet around it through the western river and got his forces split in a sudden storm. They were turned back from the River under heavy fire from Fort Covington, sustaining HEAVY casualties. The invasion lasted 25 hours and at the end of it both Fort Covington and Mchenry still stood with little to no American Casualties. That's the reason it was put into song. There's no logical reason we won that engagement, if it wasn't for that godsent storm we likely wouldn't have our national anthem.

Cornwallis was the GW bush of colonial era UK, lovable moron with powerful family. They gave zero fucks about the US and send a punk general to quash what they thought would be a 4 day affair.

Sweetheart we just told you, money.
£££$$$ Golden age of piracy, the Seven Years War, the native Americans acting like niggers, George Washington encouraging smuggling, tax avoidance, engaging in land grabs against the French territories, expanding past the Appalachian line.
You were just too expensive to keep baby boy, you had to go back. Sorry but you did, money does not grow on trees, it grows on sugar canes and rum distilleries and spice farms.

You do know India was a big part of the reason why we were able to become the largest empire of all time right? We couldn't have done it without their resources.

Newsflash: We don't give a fuck, most people don't know what 4th July is nor what the American revolution was, just as we don't learn too much about any other of the colonies we lost. The only American history I did was MLK and the civil rights movement, in between learning about inter-war Germany and the Bolsheviks.
Bongs don't expect everyone to know what the Battle of Hastings was because we aren't autistic.

Pretty much this, wasn't until the French revolution and France purging its aristocracy and therefore neutering its own pre-Napoleonic and Napoleonic navies that allowed British dominance of the seas that really cemented the British Empire.
