Listen to This Collection
The Seven Years' War
The first true world war. Britain vs France in Europe, North America, India, and the Caribbean. Britain wins, gets Canada, and accidentally bankrupts itself.
The Boston Tea Party
Colonists dressed as Mohawks dump 342 chests of British tea into Boston Harbor. The most expensive tantrum in history.
The Declaration of Independence
Thirteen tiny colonies write a breakup letter to the world's biggest empire. 'All men are created equal' becomes a problem they don't fully solve.
Washington Crosses the Delaware
On Christmas night, in a snowstorm, Washington rows across an icy river to ambush drunk Hessian troops. Saves the entire Revolution.
The Surrender at Yorktown
Trapped between Washington's army and the French navy, the British surrender. The band reportedly plays 'The World Turned Upside Down.'
The War of 1812
The British invade Washington and burn down the White House. Andrew Jackson wins New Orleans two weeks after the war is technically over.
The Monroe Doctrine
The young United States tells Europe to stay out of the entire Western Hemisphere. Bold for a country that can barely defend its own coast.
Remember the Alamo
200 Texans hold a Spanish mission against thousands of Mexican troops for 13 days. Everyone inside dies. Texas wins the war anyway.
