britain? which country was going to be the leading naval power of the world? this is part of the history of international relations of the period between the two world wars that is not well known today. i want to highlight this because this is one of the major irritants, points of contention between the united states and britain between the two world wars. what size should each country's fleet be relative to the other? should britain remained the -- remain the dominant naval power? or should the united states be on par -- at least equal with that of britain? so, a naval rivalry emerges between britain and the united states after the first world war. churchill, after the first world war, the british government holds an election and this is churchill going back to his seat, his parliamentary seat in the scottish industrial fishing city of dundee up in the north and here he is delivering a speech at the end of november 1918. the war was over on the western front for a couple weeks. there you see

>> britain was divided. when we talk about britain one of the distinctions that needs to be made for any country is of course, the government and then the public mind to the extent that that could be identified. but palmerston who was the prime minister was anti-democratic. and many of the british governing class were just delighted to see what one called the republican bubble burst. and this was proof that self-government didn't work. they were arguing with john bright, whom we discussed earlier, and this whole brightism, they could it, this whole idea that they should expand the franchise. so that sentiment was important. and then the other was, of course, just the concern about cotton. and a lot of free trade liberals who might be anti-slavery would say, well, if the war -- if the union isn't fighting against slavery, then what do we have against trading with the south? and if they believe in free trade -- by this time the union had passed a very high tariff -- then let's do business an independent south

britain has to raise revenue to try to cover these costs. it is a common fallacy that the stamp act was to pay for the cost of that war. that price had actually been born by british taxpayers who had been squeezed just like we often say today can't afford any more taxes. there were looking at americans and saying they are lightly taxed. maybe they can bear the cost of their defense. and so, a lot of the next decade, and that is where we move in. we have an image of what the gallery, where we tell the story will be located under the limbs of boston's liberty tree, a re-creation. where we will talk about that decade from 1765 to 1775 when americans begin to articulate their views of their, first their english liberties that are being infringed by these acts and taxes on the part of the british. and one of the objects we will show, this is a chinese porcelain punch bowl. so, this was used to serve alcoholic punches in taverns and homes in britain aandnd america. this was produced in china and for the export trade to britain and america. has the

britain is pretty far. and sometimes they have to rely on the kind of back-up plan, the colonnists, or sometimes just downright plundering but what was the american strategy, were they going in and, like, okay. we're just going to take what we can find, or did they actually have something? >> you know, when it's the continental army, give it a second and then i'll answer your question. for washington at least and the continental army, they really tried to pay for stuff where they could. you know, the americans are growing tons of crops, right, but the issue is can it be paid for? if all you're offering is worthless continental currency, you know, you might find a merchant saying, yeah. that was the price back when, you know, the dollar was worth something. now i'll have to charge you $700 if you want some of my wheat to feed your army. so that's going to create tension because merchants are looking for a fair price. the army needs to get fed. and it's really congress's fault that the money isn't worth anyth

they gave iran 16% of the profits as calculated by britain. now, iran always felt that britain wasn't calculating the profits fairly to start with. but that was a time when countries were renegotiating these deals. venezuela was the first one they got a 50/50 cut with the oil it up. saudi arabia got a 50/50 cut. iran getting 16%, they tried and tried and tried to get the brits to convince them to give them a 50/50 cut the brits said absolutely not. needed the money to pay for war reparations so iran elect aid prime minister he was popularly elected and ran on a platform of national icing the oil company. they finally did that, and within months the cia deposed him. every iranian knows this story. this was 1953. they talk about how america stole democracy from iran. and then you get to 1979, the overthrow of the shaw, the revolution. and a lot of iranians again talk about how america propped up the shah of iran and had this oppressive nondemocratic regime. america was behind, you know, the fact there wasn't democracy. so that's where the hard l

france wants great britain to be as weak as possible. britain wants the united states to be pretty decently strong to stand up against the french and spanish, but also be a dependent trading partner of the british. what the americans do is they take all of these interests play them off of one another and take advantage of it are people in british politics and also successes against france. ignore the treaty with france and instructions from congress and make a separate piece with britain that france is then forced to go along with. the united states gets independence, to the mississippi river and fisheries. spain gets florida. supposedly the british were supposed to protect all the states -- congress was supposed to ask the states to protect all loyallist property. this turns out to be difficult to enforce but it is supposedly part of the treaty provisions. we have some other things to discuss in future days. to conclude for now, i want to argue that the american revolution demonstrated the strength of americans commitment, but also the

and it was the empire that everyone attributed to britain's success. so they thought the loss -- everyone thought the loss of the empire, or the north american part of it, at least, would diminish england. of course, it didn't happen that way. britain went on to have its greatest days in the 19th century, but everyone predicted that that would be the end of britain when they lose the north american colonies, which is why they stuck so long, eight years, in this long struggle to hold onto their colonies. c-span: you almost -- you answer my question. the revolutionary war was eight years long. >> guest: right. c-span: how many people from the colonies, soon to be americans fought on the anti-british side? >> guest: well, that's a hard question to answer. i think we may have had as many as 100,000, 200,000 people participating at one time or another, which is a huge proportion of a population running two to three million people. it certainly was the largest death total. i think about 25,000 men were killed, which was a high -- the highest proportion of an

he was instrumental and affecting the policy of great britain toward the confederacy. when the confederates conceded from the union they thought that britain would not have a choice but to back them. it was under that assumption that they broke away. they did not have a war machine or industrial base. they thought the biggest power in the world would support them because they got 80% of their cotton from the south. four years before the war began, he started laying the groundwork with the argument that the slave trade would be revived by breakaway of the confederacy. every time that britain came close to recognition after the war began, that if she would come up, and the government would back away from the confederacy. he was one of those complicated characters who originally went to charleston because he thought it would be a good career move. when he got there he saw what slavery looked alike and thought it was graham and ugly. he was completely duplicitous -- very grim and ugly. he was completely duplicitous. he convinced the slave owners he was on their side, and a

some have said a european union without britain in it would not be recognizable as the european union they know. and they are prepared to work with us to try to ensure that the changes are made that will be necessary if britain is going to be able to remain inside the european union. and that's the key because we have set the test not of a deal in a smoke-filled room with politicians, but of a referendum where the british people will make the ultimate. decision. our partners in europe know that the offer they come up with, the package of reform that's agreed has to be enough to satisfy the demands of the british people for change and the strong sense, i believe, in britain that the european union, the european project has changed dramatically since they last made a democratic decision on this in 1975 and in many people's view not for the better. so it's about resetting the dial so the european union better represents what the british people expect to see of a european structure, and i think that is a focus on economic delivery, growth, jobs, the prosperity, helping us to defend our li

augustine, because spanish florida was traded to great britain and that meant spanish st. augustine was traded to great britain. and so all of the residents that were spanish departed st. augustine by early 1764. almost all of them went to havana or the area around havana. a few went to mexico. so st. augustine became a british town. the spanish left. there was some overlap. so you had a spanish town and with british soldiers here, and they didn't care much for spanish architecture and of course they had been enemies for years. so we have reports of them taking down some of the spanish wooden houses to use for firewood. that was easier than going out and cutting firewood. and a lot of complaints one was that the spanish consulted convenience more than design in their buildings. the person that moved into this house was maria evans. she came here and her husband with whom she came during the british period died and she remarried major peevit, and they did very well. she was a midwife, so she had her own income, and he was the pay master for the british soldiers. right acros
