Good afternoon Brits Is this your understanding of our history with y'all?

Our war of Independence [1776] was really just a rebellion that would never have been achieved without the French

You really beat the living snot out of us in the war we declared in 1812

When the American president Mr Polk,threatened a 3rd war with you if you did not back off on your territorial claims in our northwest you did back off because you were just tired of beating the snot out of us

.

When the Brits,Spain and France invaded Mexico and the American President Johnson told you it was an act of war against America you did because you had no idea France wanted to take over Mexico

In WW 1 you had no need of America as you Brits and Frogs were just kicking some butt

In WW 2 you Brits were in shock when you saw Americans troops coming to the U K ''what the hell do we have a need of them we and the Russians have this in control here?''

After WW 2 when the Brits, french and Israelis allied up to take over the Suez Canal and the U S demanded you all back off you pulled you troops out of there ....because... Gee golly fill me in on that one again.

Update:

Gassa you can't believe we believe we won the war of 1812 Why look at our action after the war Mr Polk ran on the platform he would declare a 3rd war if your did not back off territorial claims in our north west he won and you did back off does that sound like we lost the war of 1812?

Beat the farm y'all know about about burning of the white house but don't know that the same Gen Ross was killed in his failed attempt to take Baltimore beat you don't know about the burning looting of the capital city of York [Toronto] were the British troops fled the city leaving its defense to the Canadians and their indian allies when they lowered their flag over the fort as a ruse to lure the Americans in then blow up their munition dump killing the American Gen Pike and close to 30 of his man and after the victorious Americans found a human scalp in one of you indian allies home it was game on the American should have burned the city to the ground and lined up every male captive and shot them then

Update 2:

Yes in a few years the French did send help after they saw we could more then hold our own against you Brits ,you savage allies the American Indians, and of course your German mercenaries the Hessian's who were also so savage and insane the British refused to ship many back home so they went to live with the German speaking Amish who to this day say when ones leaves their faith ''He's gone english''

Update 3:

'' Only out of revenge,we fought for freedom'' dang did not know the Germans attacked Pearl HarboUr

Update 4:

''Go play with your other toys'' there are no British women around these parts cowboy

    Let's just say that it seems to us that some of the history taught in the USA is total bull sh!t. But it's a good propaganda tool to boost American ego.

    I can't believe the amount of Americans who actually believe they won the war of 1812.

    LMAO. The British achieved their goal of repelling the American invasion of Canada and the Americans lost far more troops. The Americans were nearly bankrupt and as the war was over in Europe the Americans were afraid they would feel the full force of the British military. If that's an American victory, keep living in your American dream world.

    I suppose you can convince yourself that you won the war in Vietnam too.

    You're a funny fella Ray, but you shouldn't take those silly Hollywood movies seriously, and don't believe all the bull sh!t propaganda that your government tells you. The Nazis done that and look where it got them.

    Ray, sometimes you're a hoot. A real throw-back to anglophobe Americana before Wilson & his crowd decided to re-attach the US to Great Britain.

    One reads (perhaps apocryphal) tales of German closely becoming the American language instead of English. That leaves me wondering if the American involvement in WWI on the side of Great Britain would ever have happened?

    Especially when knowing the outrage in America against British harassment of American merchant shipping before 'our' entry into that war - on the wrong side in my opinion.

    First off, in the war for independence, the British WERE kicking you about until the French decided to help. WIthout French arms shipments and troop support in the closing battles, that "rebellion" would have failed.

    The British then backed off in order to persue war with France. That's the reason we decided to just give up on the states.

    The two world wars, oh yes it was lovely that you decided to help. notice how America refused until they were personally attacked? Whilst we were fighting for freedom, the Americans only joined in for revenge. First for the Lusitania, then for Pearl Harbour.

    To be honest, I've never been that interested in american history or american related stuff. The stuff you've put about the world wars sounds right though.

    The war of 1812? You couldn't even win the thing when our backs were turned fighting one of the biggest wars in history...

    The trouble with American history is that it written by American, for Americans with scant regard for the truth.
