fun fact: the British navy sunk the French ships meant to bring metric rulers, weights, ECT to the US, so they're the reason why we still use the imperial system
No, the ships got captured by pirates. Some of the weights and measures just recently were found and sent to the US.
@@lowellsavage no, the ships were intercepted by aliens 👽
@@AutoToonsAnimation no we just don’t want to be like the British😂
@@Aven_Gaming the britts started using the Metric system in 1965, if we wanted a different measuring system i'm pretty sure ours would've changed by then
@@lowellsavage eh same difference 🤷
All of these time traveling scenarios will always be limited by the lack of support structure, ammunition resupply, aerial surveillance and satellites, etc.
Resupply could be alleviated if each SEAL went back in time with a fully loaded deuce-and-a-half with fuel trailer.
Travels with an entire rocket base to launch a satellite and a sat device.
@@Lgnds_CBZ i was thinking more along the lines of ammo, grenades, mini-UAVs, etc.
@@sonar357 I'm just adding some other stuff xD
Well if you sent them back in time with one full supply platoon in and one motor T platoon. That should solve the problem.
1:42 he did not have to do Florida like that 😭🙏
This is why they say soldiers talk tactics, generals talk logistics.
This message is brought to you by your supply department. Because bullets won't fly without supply™️ 😆
I noticed they included the Wooly Mammoth in the one scene. This is important because not only the Native Americans but also Frontiersman reported encountering Living Mammoths in various parts of North America during early Colonial times.
This is kinda the best new video idea you guys have been doing
This premise would make for an entertaining show, if you ask me. Some scifi alternative fictional history mixed with action? I'd watch. There was an anime with a somewhat similar premise, it was called Gate. A portal opened in modern day Japan, and an army of fantasy medieval came through and tried to conquer. Japan said "lol" and sent an Army of soldiers, tanks, etc.
These are the whacky what ifs I like to see, my brothers and I talk about what if x modern unit or weapon was in x historical period/war. Just interesting to talk about.
Should do a police academy video in the United States
They would literally just attach plastic explosives to the bottom of all the ships. Ez
And what with what we know about quantum mechanics, this may be possible… Murica, ffff yeah!
Ignoring the resulting temporal paradox it would create, this video makes me wonder how things would have gone is the SAS went back to this point in time.
Or better. Both sides sent back troops. Because now we have two groups, on enemy sides, who are themselves allies.
Bonus points if at least one person in each team understands what a temporal paradox is.
A single squad of SEALs would have less impact than a squad of communication Marines. Or for a similar price to 4 SEALs an entire Radio Platoon from the Marines particularly armed with 117F, 150, and 152 Radios.
I can't believe the narrator was able to read the script so well with all that tongue-in-cheek dialog.
Welcome to infographics 😀😀
Yup😂😂
Robo-voice, my guy
He gets to the point at 10:45
You're welcome.
tysm
It took him almost 11 minutes to get to the point 💀💀💀
Thx
@@eveerust ok well, you can watch 10:45 to 10:55 and see how much you would enjoy that if it was the entire video.
He needs to explain the war, why it happened to set the scene. It doesn't make sense to just to answer the question.
Why would the Americans need Navy Seals when they had Mel Gibson?
For real bro could take on Britain France Spain and the Americans
Mel Gibson, a navy seal sent to the past to sway the outcome of the war. Directors cut 😂
Such a good movie tbh
Delta squad: *writes down infographics show into their hit list*
What about the green berets? Those guys don't just stack bodies they stack country's. I'd like to see them wreak havoc on the 18th and 19th century world.
They are very secretive and only some of their missions are known.
Oh uh, is he gonna post still?
SAS and British ghost team would join them there, seals ain't the best, I'd say SAS and delta squad r very close in prestige
@@amberfox21 not wrong
Did Infographics do an episode like the movie "The Final Countdown" where a modern aircraft carrier went back in time just hours before the attack on Pearl Harbor? How would one fully equipped nuclear powered ship carrying a few dozen computerized fighter jets and attack helicopters fare against an entire fleet of analog ships and over 300 propeller planes?
Binkov's Battlegrounds did that scenario.
And if you want a more visual illustration, Grim Reapers have done a lot of big battle simulations in DCS.
Laser guided bombs from 25k feet
Would work well if GR's simulations are right.
As a native Floridian, Florida without AC is absolutely brutal. I don't blame the colonists.
Love these recent modern units versus historical military scenarios.
We talking a hundred or so actively serving frogmen with full gear or just a dozen of them? Also how r they going to justify their non-white mates to the white supremacists? If all the SEALs had all the gear they needed then that means even vehicles, extra ammo, extra explosives, and lots of gas.
May God be with the two Navy SEALs lost in the Red Sea
another great job by the fearless leader, we have now, pretty sure the defense secretary being in the hospital had nothing to do with it…fjb (We never lost a navy seal before, but two at the same time, way to go Joe way to go)
They are entertaining, but pure fantasy.
@@TommyChmelko amen
How is it bidens fault we lost seals? He doesn’t conduct day to day military operations
"It's the day freedom was invented."

Gracias bro
Hello
1 for me pls

I've only just begun watching the video, but I already wonder how these Seals would react to Benedict Arnold when he was still a general of the Continental Army.
they would shake his hand and respect him.
In this scenario Arnold never defects so it doesn't matter
The Seals would 'persuade' the Founding Fathers to ban slavery instantly though
@@christiandauz3742yeah probably.
It would only take one black Navy seal to convince them to do it.
@@soffren XD
Fun Fact: The gun deaths study study actually counted everyone under 20 as children (one guess as to what age bracket most of those deaths happen in, I'll give you a hint. It's not the toddlers getting into gunfights).
I’m glad someone here actually knows what they are talking about. Tired of people spreading that false information. Also it’s mostly suicide
Still a rather horrible statistic. Stop making a bad thing look better, rather than working and talking about the causes.
Also people under 21 are not considered adults everywhere.
@@Heidelaffe we can agree on that. The reason I hate when people lie with this statement is because they use it as ammunition to take the second amendment away which will take the right for people to defend themselves and that will never be okay. More gun restrictions only affect the people who follow the rules not the ones breaking them
@@Heidelaffe The cause is mostly inner city gang violence that always gets swept under the rug. (one guess as to what age group is most active in gangs) As for the whole 21 thing, you can die for your country and take on crushing debt you can never bankrupt on at 18. Everyone needs to stop infantilizing grown adults and start preparing them for the real world.
Was looking for this comment. Crazy ppl don’t realize the true context behind the stat.
Thank you for the update, The Infographics Show..!! The first time the Underwater Demolition Team was ever documented was back in the 16th century in Korea. The UDT soldiers were highly trained Africans from Mozambique, who were a part of the Portuguese merchants' army, and they have successfully destroyed multiple Japanese ships by discreetly creating holes under water at night. Their unit's official name was 'Sea Ghost', and the Ming Dynasty provided them to Koreans in order to repel Japanese invaders.
Perfectly said, great story case scenario
"...and to measure with anything except the metric system!"
I'm dyin' here! too freaking funny! Brilliant! hahahahahaha!
Hands down, this has to the best and funniest script you've done yet! Bravo!
Or when the native were occupying the european territory illegally for thousands of years
The thing is that the Brits didn't use the metric system in those days - it hadn't been invented yet - and still don't use it now to any great extent!
Lol right
@@sandilo4170 The whole script was hysterical! Too many 'inside' jokes to count! gotta love it!
0:10 I've never heard the 1776 Project summed up so succinctly.
Funny how the Spanish troops involved are never mentioned in US classrooms.
Curious Spain has a 300 years in U.S in more half of country front the half of years of British .

apparently satire doesn't exist outside of America.
The subtle jabs at ye Olde England are absolutely on point, and I'm here for it🤣😂🤣😂
There were a couple of books about this where modern soldiers time traveled. A great one is a series where solders time travel to a fantasy world and fight a dragon. There's a Japanese movie where soldiers time travel back to feudal Japan and fight samurai. In the end they get overwhelmed due to ammo limitations, and warlords committing all their forces in unison.
With night vision, they would own the night. They could also train colonial soldiers.
Until the batteries die
@@Sov92They take solar panel chargers with them. They would know how to build trenches and temporary bridges to overcome rivers too. They could also create bombs out of almost any flammable material.
@@ethanweeter2732 none of the navy seals that I have ever encountered were carrying solar panels.
@@Sov92 did you meet DEVGRU or a seal team member
@@RealGodfromheaven i’ve met Seals. I deployed on an amphibious assault ship and we had some on for a little bit. I didn’t talk to them very much because I had other things I needed to do that did not involve them. Regular navy people and seals Kind of exist in two different worlds even if they’re in the same place.
The truth is that such technological units would be ridiculously ineffective and inferior, the technological dependence of current armies means that a military unit that ends up in the past simply has an initial advantage in weapons, but they would be in worse conditions as they lack resupply or means. to maintain their equipment, unlike the rest of the military.
On the other hand, a soldier from the past could be reconditioned for modern warfare, this is because it is easier to learn the modern with ancient foundations than to forget the present in favor of the past.
My mom STILL doesn't understand how to check her email.
I can't wrap my head around nfts.
Don't pretend it's easier to adapt to new tech than it is to grow up with it and shrug when you have to put it down.
You're erroneously imagining that the military were never trained in doing without.
1775 was 100 years from having surgeons was their hands to stop spreading puerperal fever. A disease contracted by mothers when the doc would pause an active autopsy to deliver a baby with hands still covered in rot.
Those boys believed witchcraft was a thing and were over 100 years from the end of witch trials.
Not to mention they, like the natives of thier time would be susceptible to all our modern diseases.
@@GrifoStelle Your mother is not young, the soldiers are young or middle-aged.
Do not confuse the process of stagnation produced by the aging of the human brain with the technological difference, if you want a good parallel to this, the African tribes that live without technology prove my point every time one of their young people is turned into a militia member of some local warband, to give a clear example
@@GrifoStelle By the way, the American military are the same ones who, if their technological equipment breaks, leave the rest of the countries hanging and withdraw from international maneuvers, that is electronic dependency and the American and Chinese armies suffer from it because they have such a fixed view in the "war of tomorrow" that they do not focus like the European and Arab armies in training without so much equipment, that is why the American army has a high rate of friendly fire compared to the European armies, too much confidence that the machine is correct instead of having one's own perception, when the computer fails for whatever reason they either doubt or only realize after having been guided by the technological system and seeing that it did not turn out as expected.

@@dirkdiggler58 Reading books and living it are 2 different things.
Will there be a part two where us Brits can summon the same amount of SAS / SBS operators? Best of luck to the yanks with that one!
Yeah, as a Yank and recent Army retiree and history geek whose ancestors were still in the Black Forest/Palatine at the time dealing with Napoleon, I'm not betting against the SAS/SBS.
who dares, wins
It would depend because I don't think the SAS or SBS alone would make difference ein the American war of independence because from the British Empire they had to contend with the French that alone geographically would stretch them to beyond the limit.
The only reason this remotely works for Naval special warfare is because it's a much more geographically centered conflict so you don't need to worry about larger issues such as the French war with Britain you can let that proceed as is. The opposite end of the spectrum Britain would have sitatuations going on as far as India in some cases because it became a colonial conflict.
Especially considering they trained UDT who became SEALs and other SF.
"Not only was the US founded, it's when freedom was invented."
*Laughs in practically any other part of the world before 1776*
ya wayyy too obnoxious
Greatest day in human history...
Such an American thing to say
...when Freedom was invented!
You got a problem with a patriotic opinion?
@@Kriegory If it's ignorant and not true, yes sir
There ain't a 'real' greatest day in human history because everyone has a different way of looking about what that means and how they take that.
I don't mind what you think is the greatest day in human history (aslong as it's not related to a part of history where attrocities were persistent) and I think you shouldn't put down people for being patriotic,
No opinion is untrue until disproven.
The mans opinion might be ignorant, but not untrue. I'm not trying to start a fight, man. But things like this have no one answer, so keep that in mind.
@@CT--py4ge
They'd be met by Special Boat Services of the Royal Marines.
And my axe!
The ones that burned down the white house? Them royal marines? The ones that made the SBS which Seal team 6 modelled themselves on? Seals wouldn't stand a chance.
I get the points but that was back when the USA wasn’t like the most powerful country in the world with the most top of the line equipped military.
1:16 has the most hilarious history take. It definitely wasn't English territory for thousands of years 😂
Love the quips, Good job the SAS figured it all out and taught the Seals so well 👍
Y’a his very uninformed and blatantly false ones?
Ok buddy
@@RealGodfromheaven sorry but he speaks truth the SAS did teach the navy seals and Delta Force idk ab the green berets tho
@@RealGodfromheaven buddy, he's right, SAS are still the most tightly focused and disciplined force on the planet, with worldwide training exercises working with all their commonwealth countries (+ the US) and European and eastern allies, and we're called in to train the American forces up until recently, and have a high success rate in the Brit Vs US war games, with equivalent forces, and often winning when greatly outnumbered
@@caerulipes 😂😂😂😂You think he's wrong? its obvious and factual that the SAS is the greatest special forces in the world, the SEALS were even trained by the SAS.

That would be something. Navy Seals would do a lot of damage, until they run out of ammo, then they'd probably have to use bows and arrows
L😂L
Bro do you think that the revolutionary war was fought with bows and arrows💀💀💀
@@steven_slash8346 if you're fighting a guerilla war which is what SEAL's specialize in then a bow is a more effective option than a musket.
@@rc59191 yup. I’d still put my money on the SEALs if they showed up with no guns, just Ka-Bars, tomahawks and compound bows.
i would put it on the navy seals with silencers@@VixenVolva
But what if Britain sent back in time SAS or SBS ? Lol
As others have commented, these ideas would make for a great video game.
"...and to measure things with anything but the metric system." 🤣🤣🤣
i actuall think a Team of Special Forces would make more difference.. They are a true force multiplier that are traind to train friendly forces
Cornwallis would have never made it out alive
Hamilton would have been a whole different Broadway musical.
how does a brutal modern fully quipped army in need of a shower defeat a global superpower
I feel like these videos are descending into bragging about how great the US military is
While I do get that there are problems with resupply, the thing that would be indespencible would be the knowledge the seals would have of the advanced tactics, and warfare, and also knowledge of advanced medicine.
Iis it weird I can feel the patriotism flowing through this video???? Its not just me right????
It's funny they always choose Navy seals. When the Rangers are ALWAYS the one the Seals call for extraction and help.
RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
GET UP PRIVATE ALLEN, RANGERS LEAD THE WAY! *M O V E*
@@nursestoyland RAMIREZ! SECURE THAT BURGER TOWN!
SEALs are Tier 2 SOF, definitely not the best/most elite.
Green Berets, CAG, DEVGRU, ISA, RRC, Ground Branch, and Ω are the top units.
That’s a negative, a basic Marine recruit is more of a threat on the battlefield than any other soldier.
I think a platoon of Green berets would be more effective in making a difference!
Seriously, have a ODA in the revolutionary war and it’s a wrap for the Brit’s
Yeah, the moment he said that navy seals have no equal, I was like what about the green berets? I guess the rest of SOCOM doesn’t exist😂.
fun fact two: the leading cause of death in children is NOT guns, it is cars
Nope, as of 2022, 2023 leading cause of death is firearms, eclipsing as the long time #1, motor vehicle accidents.
Am I the only one waiting for more Alien War, Zombie war or Nuclear war 0-100 days?
no you're not. Cliffhangers!
They wouldn't have the support to really do much. You could probably take a squad of American Revolutionary War history fanboys, give them a couple weeks training and get the same effect if not better. At least they would know exactly where all the targets would be what any given time, and the targeted assassinations would completely disrupt the British.
More interesting would be a clash between time travelled Seals, and a squad of the SAS sent back to fight them. The Seals might find their seals leaking.
773 billion vs. 50 billion in military spending, yall been cooked for decades🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Also the fact that US logistics and decentralized command is second to none. Our seals also have the best equipment our 800 billion dollar defense budget can give. Quality is a trademark of the United States special operations command. We worked with SAS before and they have their strengths and weaknesses just like we do. If you need anything 50 miles from water destroyed or killed, you send in the seals. If you want to go behind enemy lines for sabotage my money is on the SAS. The seals are the best in the world at CQB but SAS is the best in clandestine operations and sabotage. All special forces can’t be compared and shown which is definitively better because different circumstances call for different soldiers.
@@RealGodfromheavenso what sbs then mate ?
You did not include the 5000 African Americans who fought on the British side for the promise of freedom, as well as the 5000 who fought on the American side for the same reasons.
Maybe because it was only 5000

Wouldn't the Army Special Forces be the most ideal type of unit for this sort of job? They would all be very useful, but aren't Army Special Forces tailor-made for a mission like this?
The maximum value of the sending a SEAL Team to 1776 is all the practical applicable lessons learned from War since 1776, as well as their weapons & tech advantage.
Not to mention the British literally would fight in lines and disregarded asymmetrical warfare (as mentioned in this video).
That’s the maximum value 😂
Yes, simply having them replace Washington and 3 other important generals and take a leadership position would be the best possible use of their talents.
It would still be worth it for the squad to use up all their gear on a few high value missions though.
@@thunderblaze9997 Abso-F'n-lutely!
If after they Ran out of supplies, their training knowledge of warfare and history would be invaluable
What if Britiish sent their SAS/SBS?
Units that are used to being outgunned and underequipped with no support. They would thrive in the situation while seals would cry as soon as air cover is lost.
@@robbiepembertonid like to think SAS are equivalent to our Delta. Not the SEALs.

Legally yes, but you know what they mean. 18 year Olds are still in high-school, if you see an 18 year old on the street, you'll think they're really young or a "kid"
Yeah, but if you are presenting FACTS, make sure you are presenting factual Information, not padding numbers to try and make your facts true. Cut off age in America for a legally defined kid is 17. 18 is classified as a adult.
Nowadays kids don't seem to be adulting until their mid-twenties or so. Now get offa my lawn!

There was also a " Twilight Zone" episode where a tank crew along with their tank ended up at the Battle Of Little Big Horn ( Custer's Last Stand).
Harry Turtledove has written several counter-factual war books, like Guns of the South, where Afrikaner racists from the 22nd century sent AK-47s back in time to equip the Confederacy during the Civil War, which enabled the South to win, all so that the Afrikaners would have an ally in their own fight against the blacks. (It's several years since I read it so I'm not 100% sure of all the details.)

I'd like to see a video on the contribution Poland made to US success in the Revolutionary War. It's shamefully under-taught as with most things in schools and colleges. I'm not Polish, but having lived there for over a decade and studying Polish history, I was amazed at the relationship Poland has with the US. There's a reason that Polish surnames are so prevalent in the Ohio basin and New England. It's not simple immigration - lands were awarded to Poles that came under the Polish kingdom to aid in the war. While the US was not the first to adopt a Constitution, the success of America's war against Britain was the underpinning of Poland following suit. This would make an awesome video guys, hope you'll look into it!

'Merican's also were fighting for a breakfast of Coffee with Bacon & Eggs with Bacon & Cheese instead of the traditional English Breakfast of tea with grilled tomatoes, baked beans, blood pudding, mushrooms, sausages & eggs.
as you can tell by my name i just got back with a group of navy seals from the revolutionairy war. They were hillarious. They of course took rifles. but also water/air-tight containers of .22LR and little 22 pistols with silencers and subsonic ammo.. deadly up to 40 feet if in the head. and their night vision. most of the work was done at night with thermals. they went after the cannons first, by morning the artillery crews were dead and big penises were drawn on the cannons. then they eliminated the ships. the close ones. just a buncha incindiery grenades. about 2 per ship. all you need for wood... waited till all were ready to toss them up and did it at once and swam away with scuba gear. then they hid in t he tree lines with their rifles and watched the hillarity ensue. repeat next evening.
Plus their leadership skills would be extremely valuable!
Freedom was born???? What about all the slaves????
