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

Brandon Garcia
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.
Lincoln Hughes
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.
First time I hear "Howe"
Yeah
Liam Allen
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
Grayson Jenkins
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
Benjamin Smith
A colony got uppity and through French dickery split from its creator
Adam Hughes
The funny part is that the colonists were taxed less than the people back in Britain
Brayden Myers
here's everything I know about your revolutionary war:
Mel Gibson defeated the English and america declared the independence.
Charles Reyes
that was tea that was untaxed in order to establish a monopoly
Jaxon Ortiz
Ivan, you should know that General Richard Lee was in the Civil War, not the Revolutionary War.
James Campbell

Charles lee was washington's second
Jackson Morales
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
Gavin Perry
>It'll be at least another 200 years before people stop believing the high taxation/no representation meme
Jaxson Price
what was so revolutionary about the war?
did you invent any new tactics or firearms?
Kayden Hill
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
Henry Foster
we made no treaties with any french republic :^)
Benjamin Moore
Oh jeez, that's embarrassing. My bad.
Evan Lopez
It wasn't about the tax itself so much as the lack of representation in Parliament.
Brandon Nelson
We invented freedom while you invented IKEA.
Liam Adams
this isn't half bad
Jace Carter
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.
preddy gud/10
the structure of our new government was pretty unique
Julian Hall
The federalists fucked it up.

Luis Powell

>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.

Brody Gray

>5 rioters died

Caleb Perry
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.
Alexander James

TOP BANTER TO BE HONEST FAMILIA
Aiden Lopez
Delet this.
It was a war of freedom, as proved by this popular song from the mid 2000s.
Camden Foster
parody of a popular song, sorry.
Jacob Diaz
From the British perspective, the French and Indian war was fought for the Americans, and so they expected them to help pay for it.
Ethan Martin
Washington was ten feet tall and weighed a ton.
He saved children, but not the British children.
He had a schnauzer.
Mason Smith
WE'RE GONNA FIGHT A WAR, AND THE AMERICANS ARE GONNA PAY FOR IT
Adam Price
dog bless
Colton Ward
Thats some good deal, you should take it.
Bentley Barnes
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.
