Non-Americans, tell us everything you know about the Revolutionary War, either from history classes or just pop cultural osmosis from American media.

>>59583090
From what I can remember from my history class...
British were taxing the hell out of you, after giant debt from the seven year war.
Americans were getting pissed, as it was resulting in harassment from British troops and taxing was met with fierce resistance.
Brits started acting like cunts, started shooting rioters. Wanted to conduct a mass raid.
>FUCKING BONGS!
>Let's throw them a tea party.
Results in large economic reprucussions for Brits.
>TAX THESE YANKS EVEN MORE
News gets out, midnight run occurs
>Brits are coming
Americans meet them armed and prepared. War starts.
Washington is a shite tactician, but his charisma is overwhelming and he gains the support of the American people.
>LIBERTY INTENSIFIES
Declaration of Independance is established, there is argument over slave owner ship, but Yanks are all like
>Psshhh, who gives a shit, they provide labour! Gotta keep my cotton fields open!
More battles ensue.
Guerilla tactics are used to fuck up the British.
British leave after a shit load of defeats and lack of resources to back the campaign.
American revolution and civil war are probably one of the most boring historical event here. Everyone ignores any game or movie that is about it since nobody has any idea of anything about this war.
>>59583169
First time I hear "Howe"
>>59583229
Yeah
Murilards got butthurt with the Brits and took over their token troops while the Brits were busy fighting the French or something.
Pls no h8 just what i know m8
>>59583305
they are boring because they were nothing special compared to old world continental wars.
Even china had more interesting wars in the 19th century tbqh
A colony got uppity and through French dickery split from its creator
>>59583277
The funny part is that the colonists were taxed less than the people back in Britain
here's everything I know about your revolutionary war:
Mel Gibson defeated the English and america declared the independence.
>>59583277
that was tea that was untaxed in order to establish a monopoly
>>59583305
Ivan, you should know that General Richard Lee was in the Civil War, not the Revolutionary War.
>>59583406
wrong lee
Charles lee was washington's second
French proxy war to fuck with the brits
You never paid back your debts because "lol we owed that money to the king xd"
Didn't help us 20 years later either
>It'll be at least another 200 years before people stop believing the high taxation/no representation meme
what was so revolutionary about the war?
did you invent any new tactics or firearms?
i know a lot about it, probably as much if not more than your average american but i'm not going to type it all out
>>59583449
we made no treaties with any french republic :^)
>>59583440
Oh jeez, that's embarrassing. My bad.
>>59583370
It wasn't about the tax itself so much as the lack of representation in Parliament.
>>59583468
We invented freedom while you invented IKEA.
this isn't half bad

People on this board are always wondering why American posters are so obsessed with the word "cuck." I think I understand why now. It's because France blockaded our east coast and prevented British ships from getting into our harbors to drop off troops and supplies. This was one of the most important factors in the war. We were born out of the cuckholdry of the British. We are of the cuck, rose from the cuck, molded by the cuck.

>>59583090
>The United States of America wanted to break free from the British Empire
>Something about tea thrown into the sea
>Something about a messenger, "the British are coming!"
>Something about a Freedom Bell
>Fighting and shit
>Independence gained
Not necessarily in the above order.
How much more should I really know?
>>59583555
>Boston MASSACRE
>5 rioters died
Ebin
It was just like the French Revolution, and the Russian revolution, people who were being oppressed revolt, then upon taking power become corrupted and oppressive themselves. This is what government does, the occasional revolution is needed so people think they're free.

"Americans" didn't want to pay tea taxes and weren't being represented in a court of law so they became an independent nation so they could drink tea without being heavily taxed. Also France was there.
>>59583980

Delet this.
It was a war of freedom, as proved by this popular song from the mid 2000s.

parody of a popular song, sorry.

From the British perspective, the French and Indian war was fought for the Americans, and so they expected them to help pay for it.
Washington was ten feet tall and weighed a ton.
He saved children, but not the British children.
He had a schnauzer.
>>59584178
WE'RE GONNA FIGHT A WAR, AND THE AMERICANS ARE GONNA PAY FOR IT
dog bless
>>59584355
Thats some good deal, you should take it.
>>59583090
England decides to rape the colony with huge taxes. The immigrants say "fuck you, we don't need your tea" and proceed to cross-dress as Indians for keks. France pitches in which is eventually their undoing. (Note: France learned nothing from this) Washington eventually wins the war by scaring the enemy away by doing pic related. Thank you World Book Encyclopaedia and Mad Magazine.
