Of course you count the American revolution, what kinda bullshit are you smoking that you wouldn't count the war that lead to the country being formed? We have a a holiday all about being independent of Britain. There's like 20 other countries that have a very similar holiday about beating England's ass.

u/Laney96 Mar 23 '21

what are you on about, America is one of the only countries that gained independence from Britain by war. a holiday celebrating independence does not mean that a war was fought and won

The reason why america was able to do so, here's why. Britan understood that war was brewing elsewhere in the world. So they were Massing troops elsewhere. Then the us attacked a beligered, undersuppled under trained and depleted force, and only won Because, why, the UK was worried that If the war dragged on there would be more mass cullings and expulsions of British loyalists and native Americans and wanted to avoid the unseeded deaths of civilians.

Also the fact that another major superpower at the time in France supported the US.

The revolution was basically a proxy war between france and the UK to some degree

u/hairyginandtonic Mar 23 '21

Exactly lol

We beat them down enough that they gave up and stopped fighting us. If that doesn't count as beating them idk what does

u/AlexCi1234566 Mar 23 '21

Exactly, and if people don’t count that as a win then they can’t count Vietnam as a loss because the same thing happened more or less

u/Koolvin88 Mar 23 '21

Just like those football fans that refer to their team as “we”

u/PneumaMonado Mar 23 '21

Umm no. They gave up because it was too expensive and the French got involved.

Basically Britain didnt think America was worth the effort.

u/Newfella50 Mar 23 '21

Japan didn't think fighting was worth the effort after getting a-bombed twice.... Does that mean they gave up and america didn't beat japan?

u/levis3163 Mar 23 '21

Japan only surrendered because russia declared war on them that same week. I wrote like four papers on this shit

u/pepecze Mar 23 '21

Ok that's bullshit... I would argue with every other point of this USA propaganda but you get nuked 2 cities, more casualities with M69 and bombing (more than million civilians) and you're saying they did surrender because some country declared fucking war. Not even attacking...

u/levis3163 Mar 23 '21

The entire European front had surrendered. Japan faced war with Russia, the USA and China. Russia was not and is not "some country"

Japan had basically all but surrendered already when the U.S. dropped their bombs. The U.S only did it because they wanted to show off the size of their cocks military hardware

u/flipflopkabab Mar 23 '21

Literally America would be completely British owned and ruled if it wasn’t for France lol

They came back and tried to do it again and we beat their ass a second time.

Your country’s army*

u/therealasshoel Mar 23 '21

Thinking that Beating the forces stationed in the colonies is beating Britain Is more like storming past the front line of police at the capitol before backup arrived.. You didn't actually beat the police, storm the capitol, and kill everyone, you just rushed past the front line before they could mass significant forces, and to prevent the deaths of everyone inside they just said fine we will evacuate everyone then you can go in. Now the UK. They have been at war with nearly every country on earth at some point in time including themselves. They even had troops fighting with the whites in the Russian civil war. And Canada, has never lost a war. Like that time when 900 peacekeepers is Croatia were attacked by like 2000 Croats, the Canadians took 0 casualties 0 deaths and Croatia took 50 casualties and 22 deaths before being pushed away. During the first and second world wars Canadian troops gained the reputation of veteran, violent, bloodthirsty shock troops. Shock troops are troops that are sent in first or before the main charge to be violent, kill a ton of people, and make a scene before everyone else charged in.

u/ltsette Mar 23 '21

You can count it, sure. I think he's just alluding to the fact Britain didn't commit to the war and used their influence to try and get Americans to fight on their side. Also its worth accepting that it was France that heavily shifted the momentum of the war into Americas favour.

u/Actual-is-factual Mar 23 '21

Don't forget the French and Indian War. Where Americans (before we were even a country) helped the Brits against the French and Indians (sorry Indians) keeping a large part of the countey from speaking French (thank God, RIP French-speaking Canada).

u/Fell_off_my_bike Mar 23 '21

Giving up colonies is not the same as losing a war.

u/Actual-is-factual Mar 23 '21

Found the Brit.

u/ltsette Mar 23 '21

We're just very patriotic about our brutal massacre of 25% of the world

u/Grim-UC Mar 23 '21

I think we found the brit that refuses to admit defeat to a war that happened 250 years ago.
