Was the American War of Independence a real war?
Just clearing something up.
Okay. This thread is an attempt to prove this:
To be wrong (the part where he says it wasn't a war)Originally Posted by Wizav85
If im not mistaken the british were tottaly raping america in the revolution (It wasnt a war). It was the french that changed things. Instead of fighting the english colonists. (Yes USA wasnt a country untill after the war , All the people in america were legaly classed as english colonists). We stopped our campaigns and began fighting the french and tried to stop americans aiding them against us.
And while that was happening most of our Naval fleet was in England for defence against invasion. The other English forces were micro managing a world empire and on there way to controlling 25% of earths land mass and population of earth which would be complete in 1900
After the revolution ended English destroyed the french navy in Carribean and regained all of its naval supremecy. And then america invaded canada and canada and england pushed them out followed by english invading east coast and controlling maine and burning down the white house.
americans lost more men , more ships and more territory. They were again screwed. When the rest of the Royal navy and army reached the east coast you were doomed, had already lost washington and baltimore.
So you wanted peace and signed a treaty. We gave you back your lands and left for the simple reason we made more money trading with you than controlling the colonies at the time. If the english army and navy stayed americans would of been annihilated and no french would have turned up to help either because we had just annihilated there navy.
To put it simply english lost that war as much as americans lost vietnam. the war of 1812 that is. American revolution was not a war. Only americans call it a war.
