    Hands down, the absolute best account of American War History ever told. Many points that are not taught, even excluded on our history; yet resonate absolute TRUTH and knowledge. Please don't miss the key points that sheds a whole new light on the intentions and powers that were behind the scenes. Thank you so much and hope to see more eccentric works in this fashion.

    This is one of the easiest summaries of the French and Indian War I could present to students. Well executed. The only minor suggestion I would offer is to actually add a tint to the shading to show which sides exerted practical control over which region. At 2:08, a red or blue tint would help students decipher the visual regions claimed by both the French and the British, for example. Please don't mistake this as a criticism as this video is already very helpful... I'm just wishing for perfection in the classroom with students who are still learning the geography/topography of the United States.

      Battles are not the way to teach American history. There should be specific courses for military history especially for those headed to the military academies, but not for the general population.
      What is needed is putting the history of the Americas into world context. That ends with the French & Indian War. Hard to believe but our Revolution allowed Russia to absorb Ukraine and destroy the first parliamentary Commonwealth in Europe: Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Why do you think Pulaski & Kosciusko were in the US? The Czar had defeated them but they heard the US was promising the freedoms they had just lost.

      Britain took their eye of the ball. They didn't think their citizens in the 13 colonies would revolt and didn't expect both France and Spain to help the rebels. If they'd known what the 13 colonies would become I doubt that financial problems would have worried them to the extent it did and they would have taken it more seriously. As it was it shocked some in the government and the King but the people of Britain if anything sided with the revolutionaries. Some areas in Britain like the famous American Ground in Hastings on the South coast of England declared independence and tried to join the new USA.

      "True history" of our country is a right wing dogwhistle of a phrase that attacks all the hard-working schoolteachers across the country. It's typically uttered by grown adults who haven't been in school in decades, and who haven't paid any attention when they were in school decades ago. It's also rather ironic for someone to praise this video so vehemently to also then brag about using this to teach "true US history." This is just a very brief, and sometimes misleading (see the sections of the World Wars that leaves out the contributions and names of "the allies" while only specifically mentioning the US. It doesn't even give the Soviet Union any credit, except a blue shade.)
