Decided to do the American Revolution as a module this term.

What an absolutely fucking boring topic! The way Americans big it up, you'd think it was some uber revolution that took place after hundreds of battles.

In truth a bunch of fuckers got annoyed, sat in a room and signed a piece of paper. The British got bored and left.

Granted, I'm not going to do well with this one...

America defeated the most powerful military at the time, used indian tactics, the first submarine attack, Paul Revere, had less soldiers than the British supporters, had women soldiers, etc.

Yup, pretty boring.

You have been subjected to the American education system's notorious glorification of the topic. Because America being America, they always see fit to glorify themselves when it comes to history (other ridiculous examples include America presenting themselves as the saviors of both World Wars, making their involvement in the Vietnam War look considerably more heroic etc).

No doubt you were never taught that the biggest military victory (I forgot the battle, might have been Concord?) was actually won by *gasp* guess who? That's right. The British.

George Washington won one battle against a heavily undermanned British army. The majority of Britain's soldiers had (a) not yet arrived from the previous battle, that big one that they won, and (b) were occupied fighting the French army and navy close to Canada. The French, you see, had decided to ally themselves with America, mostly because they didn't like the British because of the Seven Years' War of 1756 - 1763. Given the debt Britain had attained during the Seven Years' War, they weren't interested in another overseas war with France and left.

So, in a nutshell, America won the War of Independence because of France. If France hadn't decided to get involved, Britain probably would have won despite America's admirable resistance.

And that, my dear sir, is how you REALLY won.

And I haven't mentioned how France was the only other country for years who took the Declaration of Independence seriously. Most countries in Europe thought it was nonsense for years. Britain (slightly stupidly, I must say) thought they still owned America and even kept soldiers in several northern states just to annoy the Americans.

I cannot be fucked reading this topic because I couldn't give a shit about the American Revolution, but to reiterate my earlier point.

Do the fucking thing on Pokemon.

Great battles include Ash vs Lt. Surge, Ash vs Lorelei, and for gods sake how many badges has that little shit gotten now? So many to pick from.

I just assumed everybody knew that it was because Britain was too far away/spread out, and France helped quite a bit. Also, Washington did lose more than he won, but he won more than one battle certainly. Granted, there were other commanders (notably Benedict Arnold) who had key victories.

Britain tried to expand their operations too quickly and it ended up failing due to resistance by the locals, assisted by a few authority-seque figures. They developed a series of alliances and eventually managed to fight back against them and eventually drive them out of the region, despite the disadvantage they faced in regards to their lack of numbers.
