Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the early modern history continues with a video on the American Revolution - the War of American Independence in which we cover all battles from the Americas to Caribbean and from Europe to India. In the video we discuss the main reasons why the Thirteen Colonies rebelled against the British crown, first battles at Lexington and Concord, and then near Boston at Bunker Hill. In 1775 and 1776 the war continued with the siege of Boston, American Declaration of Independence, Fall of New York, Battle of Long Island, Ten Crucial Days, the battle of Trenton and the battle of Princeton, while in 1777 the tide turned with the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Saratoga. France and Spain joined the war around this time, putting even more pressure on the British, who now had to defend their European and Caribbean holdings, too. Despite the fact that the battles of Monmouth Courthouse and Rhode Island were tactically inconclusive, the situation for the Britain continued to deteriorate. However, situation in the South, where there were more Loyalists and the British forces were led by Cornwallis, was better for Britain, which showed itself during the Battles of Savannah, Charleston, Waxhaws, Camden and Kings Mountain. However, the British situation continued to deteriorate leading to the famous battle of Yorktown, where the continental troops were led by George Washington. In the aftermath of the victory at Yorktown, the war continued, but the Americans now had the upper hand and were able to negotiate from the position of power, gaining recognition and becoming independent. We also cover the battle of the Sullivan island, Canadian campaign, including the battle of Quebec and Valcour island, Mohawk expedition, siege of Gibraltar, Second Anglo-Mysore War, Gulf Coast Campaign and Mobile campaign, Caribbean campaign including the battle of St. Kitts and Pensacola campaign, Siege of Negapatam and the Treaty of Mangalore.

The video was made by Antoni Kamerans, while the script was researched and written by David Ernenwein. This video was narrated by Officially Devin (   / @offydgg   & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC79s.... Machinima by Malay Archer.
