The deadpan delivery of the "speaking English instead of American" joke was perfect. 😁

Basically: nobody really cared about America, but Britain losing something will never not be entertaining

"Please Russia, please fight against the French empire. We'll give you a useless island in the mediterranean that you can barely reach."

Morocco’s stance on it was always an interesting fact to me until I read about the Barbary War and realized they recognized us so they could collect more tribute

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Allied with the French, it maintained official neutrality. However a number of Polish nobles did fight for the Americans. On the other hand, the Indian kingdom of Mysore was allied to the French and successfully carried out the Second Anglo-Mysore War and recognize to the United States, becoming the first country in Asia to do so

"[...] without their [France] assistance, Americans today could wery well be speaking English instead of American." 2:00 Pure comedic gold 😀

The Moroccans really wanted that trade deal lmao

I was somewhat hoping you’d include this statement, made by king Gustav III of Sweden at the time of the revolution: “It is such an interesting drama to see a nation create itself, that I – if I now had not been who I am – would go to America to follow up close every phase in the emergence of this new republic. – This perhaps is America's century. The new republic, which hardly has a population put together better than Rome had to begin with, may perhaps take advantage of Europe some day, in the same manner as Europe has taken advantage of America for two centuries. No matter what, I cannot help but admire their courage and enthusiastically appreciate their daring.”

Austria: An oversea colony rebelled? Wait, we're allowed to have oversea colonies?

Today I learned that Katherin the Great coexisted with Frederick the Great, Maria Theresia and the American Revolution.

Many of the german soldiers that the british hired . They actully newer went back home. After the war . Many of them decided to have a fresh start in life and they created a new life for themself in the united states as americans.

Morocco will get that damn trade deal ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, AMERICA!

Justin my brother, you need to come along more often and blow air with your videos to keep this Fire Of Learning burning within us.

Morocco really wanted that double-cheese burger 💀💀

So, pretty much everyone hated Britain.

Another interesting note when it comes to Russia's relationship with the newly formed United States: (for those who do not know,) after the U.S. gained independence, Catherine the Great of Russia, through French emissaries, temporarily acquired the services of revolutionary war captain, John Paul-Jones, who was made a rear-admiral in Russia's Black Seas Fleet to help Russia win a conflict in that region.

For those wondering about Italy… it wasn’t founded yet, after the Roman Empire Italy was divided in several states. Italy was then unified in 1861 as Kingdom of Italy.

Imagine your boat getting seized just for Morocco to be like “Bro, come trade with me” 😂

My coworker was born and raised in Morocco and gotta say he is a great guy and we love to discuss the friendship between our nations
