American Revolution
History 102 with WhatifAltHist's Rudyard Lynch and Austin Padgett
Divide to Conquer
The British strategy during the American Revolutionary War focused on geographically dividing the colonies, particularly targeting New York as a strategic position due to its central location and the Hudson River. This approach aimed to isolate New England, the epicenter of the rebellion, from the other colonies by executing a multi-pronged attack involving forces from various directions, including Canada. The conflict also involved significant historical tensions with the Iroquois tribe, who had previously engaged in violent campaigns for territory and resources in the region. This complex web of warfare not only highlighted the strategic military operations of the British but also underscored the grim reality of intercolonial and indigenous conflicts during the revolution.
