>>1721709A little on the biggest BTFO of your history:
>George Washington is ordered to go scout out some French forts, because the Frogs are surrounding Anglo colonies to prevent expansion. Explicitly breaking orders, George murders a thousand Frenchmen and burns their forts down, to start a war.>This war, the French-Indian War, blossoms into the Seven Year War, which kills about a million people globally, costs the British Crown trillions of dollars in today's money, and severely weakens British military power through exhaustion. Now bear in mind, this happened because ONE MAN made it happen.>The British then foolishly attempt to tax the Americans to pay for the war that an American started. Washington, being far more intelligent than any native Englishman, immediately rides the wave of resentment over the taxation that is ultimately his fault, to turn the colonists against their motherland.>Then, despite having in living memory murdered countless Frenchmen and their allies, the French come to strike back at the British by supplying this American revolution. George Washington has by this point murdered Frenchmen, convinced the British to spend trillions of dollars fighting the French for him, then blamed the British for spending trillions of dollars to fight the French, and convinced the French to help him fight the British to win his country's independence so that they could take MORE French land.We boast about that revolution because it was the hardest BTFO of political and military history. One man played multiple empires like a fiddle and suffered ZERO consequences for it. We lost nothing, you lost everything, and to this day you have to just grin and pretend that it was a fluke and not a humiliating outplay.
