The conquest of North America began with the travels of John Cabot 1497 and Jacques Cartier 1534 sent by Kings Henry VII and Francis I. The first time since the Norse Leif Erikson in 1000, Europeans landed on the continent.
The French established Acadia in modern day Nova Scotia in 1604 with its capital at Port Royale. Port Royale's strategic significance would leave to it enduring dozens of battles and sieges over the following centuries. Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec in 1608 and explored the Great Lakes. By 1690, the French had explored the great Mississippi River and founded Louisiana, linking it with Quebec and Acadia to form New France.
In 1606, King James I of England began establishing what would become the 13 colonies. Beginning with the Colony of Virginia and it's capital, Jamestown in 1607. The Thirteen Colonies were completed with the Province of Georgia in 1732, although the phrase came during the Revolution.
The French established a presence in the North following the discoveries of navigator Henry Hudson, who was seeking a northern passage through the continent in 1607. Instead he discovered the great bay which his name is given to. Wanting to press on westward, his men mutinied then murdered Hudson, his son and six others in 1611. The Hudson Bay Company took over the region a little over 50 years later.
The American-Indian Wars began with the earliest colonization attempts in the 1540's although the first major conflict began in 1609 between the French and Iroquois. Settlers were frequently hit with raids by the local tribes who savagely mutilated and raped their victims. Eventually the settlers retaliated in force driving the indians back. Settlers in New England were attacked in 1675, leading to King Phillips war, named after a tribal chief who took the Christian name Phillip. Despite losing 2800 of their 3500 men in battle, the English defeated and repelled the savage onslaught.
The French and English would often use tribal allies as proxies against each other both overtly and covertly. This lead to many American-Indian conflicts escalating or being tied to greater European colonial wars. King William's War 1688-1697, also known as the Second Indian War, was a part of the Nine Years War back in Europe. Named after the Dutch usurper of the English throne, William of Orange. The French allied the Algonquin among others, the English with the Iroquois, who had hated the French since 1609.
Queen Anne's War 1702-1713 was a part of the War of Spanish Succession and resulted in one of the most consequential treaties for North America. The Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 ceded from France to Great Britain control over Acadia, Newfoundland, and the Hudson Bay. Acadia became Nova Scotia and the Acadians were forced to leave becoming Cajuns in the American South.
The French and Indian War 1754-1763, was the American theatre of the Seven Years War. In 1754, a 22 year old militiamen George Washington won the first battle of the war at Jumonville Glen. He followed it with a defeat at the Battle of Fort Necessity that year. At the Battle of the Monongahela 1755, Washington narrowly survived an ambush from a French-Indian force killing 1300 of his men and his commander Edward Braddock.
At the Siege of Fort William Henry, the French took the fort but lost control of their indian allies who brutally killed hundreds of English prisoners and civilians. At the Battle of Fort Duquesne 1758, British victory secured the Ohio River Valley. With the naval Battle of Louisbourg 1758, British forces captured Louisbourg and gained control over the St. Lawrence River. The Battle of Quebec in 1759 was the most pivotal confrontation in the Seven Years War, where British forces took control over Quebec. Following their defeat at Quebec, French forces launched a successful counterattack at Sainte-Foy 1760 but were defeated at the last Battle for Montreal later that year. The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1763. France ceded all of her oversea territories to England, except for Louisiana which was ceded to Spain.
This devastated the French monarchy. It's wealth and prestige were ruined. The Seven Years War and later the American Intervention had been extremely costly for France, who went deep into debt to fund their efforts. With victory for the English, they could repay their debts, with loss for the French they would soon find their economy in collapse and their country in revolution. Led by the ideas of Liberal and jewish philosophers, jacobins in France would rose up against the nobility and began their reign of terror. -

The French Revolution grew out of the Enlightenment, where ideas such as freedom and individual rights were held as the highest values. While originating in the European desire to do good and sense of fairness, it was exploited by jewish intellectuals who sought the political positions taken from them in the middle ages. From their bases of power in Europe such as the Netherlands, Poland and now the United Kingdom, the jews spread revolutionary ideas of equality, with the spin of oppressor vs oppressed. The "oppressive feudal nobility" was blamed for the economic collapse of France that the jews themselves had engineered.
The proto-Bolshevik movement was named Jacobins. They dubbed monarchism "L'Ancien Régime", old regime. The Jacobins coined the phrase "Dark Ages" to paint all of medieval society as cruel and degenerate, without cultural or scientific progress. When in fact it was those Monarchs who had built Europe. There were many among the nobility who supported the revolutionaries at first. Agreeing with the Jacobins alleged desire for fairness, not realizing their true goal was the extinction of the entire nobility. Revenge for the pogroms in France going back to Saint Louis, who all the Bourbons descend from.
The revolutionaries stormed the bastille fortress on, 14 July 1789. A symbol of Bourbon power in Paris. The King Louis XVI was forced to accept a constitutional monarchy, but this didnt satisfy the Jacobins. On 21 January 1793 they publicly executed the King and later his wife Marie Antoinette. They proclaimed the first French Directorate as the new government. The monarchs of Europe were horrified and quickly formed a coalition led by Great Britain, to out this criminal mob which had usurped the throne of France. The Revolutionary Wars had begun.
During the revolutions reign of terror thousands of nobles would be executed or simple murdered by mobs. The terror extended to culture as well, especially medieval relics and art. The French Crown Jewels, which included many medieval artifacts and religious relics, were largely sold off or melted down during the revolution. Some of the most significant losses included the Sancy Diamond, the Regent Diamond, and the Hortensia Diamond.
The Sainte-Chapelle in Paris housed precious relics of Christ, including the Crown of Thorns. During the revolution, these relics were removed and scattered. The Crown of Thorns was eventually reacquired by the Louvre Museum, but many other relics were lost or destroyed. The Basilica of Saint-Denis was the traditional burial place of the French monarchy and housed an extensive collection of medieval art and artifacts, much of this treasure was looted or destroyed. Many of the tombs of the French kings were opened and their remains scattered. Many of the tapestries that adorned the royal palaces were sold off or destroyed. For example, a series of tapestries depicting the story of King David, which had been woven in the 16th century for Fontainebleau Palace, were cut up and sold as scraps.
The bells of Notre-Dame Cathedral were melted down during the to make cannons for the French military. Many of the statues on the facade of Chartres Cathedral were decapitated. many libraries were looted or destroyed, and countless manuscripts and early printed books were lost. The library at Saint-Germain-des-Prés was ransacked and its collection scattered. The Palace of Versailles was one of the most important repositories of medieval and Renaissance art in France, much of this artwork was stolen or destroyed. Including a series of tapestries depicting scenes from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, which had been woven for Louis XIV, cut up and sold as scraps. Like Versailles, Fontainebleau Palace was home to an extensive collection of medieval and Renaissance art, again stolen or destroyed. -

George Washington, the Father of America and leader of the Revolutionary War. [COMING SOON] Sorry I ran out of time. I will write this post at a later date. For now here's an AI synopsis:
George Washington is widely regarded as one of the greatest military leaders in American history. He played a crucial role in the American Revolutionary War, leading the Continental Army to victory against the British forces. Washington’s strategic acumen, leadership skills, and perseverance were instrumental in securing American independence. His leadership during critical moments such as the crossing of the Delaware River and the winter at Valley Forge demonstrated his ability to inspire and rally his troops in the face of adversity.
As the first President of the United States, Washington set important precedents for the office and established a strong foundation for the new nation. His unwavering commitment to the principles of liberty, democracy, and unity made him a revered figure in American history. Washington’s Farewell Address, where he warned against political factionalism and foreign entanglements, continues to be a guiding principle for many Americans. -

In 1204 tensions between Greek and Latin Christians culminated in Latin troops sacking Constantinople and establishing a Latin Empire in its place. The Greek princes fled to Nicaea where they launched a campaign to restore the Byzantine Empire under the Palaiologos Dynasty. After winning the Battle of Pelagonia in 1259, they returned to Constantinople by 1261. The Palaiologos Restoration would not last. With the collapse of Byzantium and the Crusader states, the Turks had overran all of Anatolia. The Byzantine Empire had managed to restore control over Greece and Constantinople but it had been critically weakened, leaving it unable to halt the advance of the Turks. In the 14th century, the Turkish Beyliks consolidated around a Sultanate known as the Ottomans. With complete control over Anatolia, they sailed across the Bosphorus under Sultan Bayezid I. They conquered Thrace and then Bulgaria by 1396. They had Constantinople completely encircled but for 57 more years they still could not take the city.
The Fall of Constantinople 1453. For over one thousand years the Theodosian Walls had stood impenetrable. Built between 412 and 422 AD during the reign of Emperor Theodosius II, They had protected Constantinople from siege after siege (20), even against the largest armies of Islam. In 621 the walls had repelled 80000 Bulgars and Persians with only 8000 defenders. Only with the invention of the super-sized cannon known as the Dardanelles Gun could the walls finally be breached. The gun had been designed and sold to the Turks by a German-Hungarian engineer named Orban. The Turks took the design and made it larger, naming is the Great Turkish Bombard.
The Byzantines had known the end was near and made preparations to evacuate Christian artifacts and the royal family. Now the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II had besieged the city with 130,000 soldiers and was bombarding the gates with the largest cannons in history. The last Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos refused to abandon the city, choosing to fight to the end. As the Turks broke through the walls and stormed the city, the Emperor's last recorded words were: "The city is fallen and I am still alive." The last Roman Emperor took off his imperial ornaments so nothing would distinguish him from an ordinary soldier and led his remaining men in a final charge where they were killed. -

In 256BC, the Roman consul Marcus Atilius Regulus was sent to command a legion in North Africa during First Punic War. After winning a naval battle at Cape Eknomos, Regulus encamped near the Bagradas River in preparation for a coming battle. However soon after, large numbers of his men began disappearing. When more men were sent to investigate, they reported back that a great Serpent or "Dragon" had been devouring the men while they went to the River for water. The entire Roman Legion is said to have battled with this Great Serpent of Bagradas. Neither throwing javelins or arrows were able to pierce it's skin. Finally Regulus ordered the ballistae brought up and hurled massive stones onto the serpent, crushing it to death under several boulders. The skin of the Great Dragon, which was sent back to Rome, is said to have been 120 feet long. -

I made a size comparison chart to show how insane this would be. They probably exaggerated slightly but this event was the inspiration for much of the Dragon lore in Roman society, it was very well known. -

For the 17th Day of White History Month we celebrate the leaders of the Third Crusade, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, King Phillipe Auguste, and Richard the Lionheart!
After the legendary and stunning success of the First Crusade, all of Christendom was awed by the establishment of Christian states in the Holy Lands. Now the task was to defend them against the Islamic world which surrounded them. The defense budgets of these states were so high they dependent on constant charity flowing from across Europe.
In 1174, the greatest Islamic leader, Saladin took power as Sultan of Egypt and Syria. He began campaigning against the Christians who were led by a King Baldwin IV. King Baldwin IV was dying of leprocy which the Muslims saw as a curse for his sins but the Christians viewed as a symbol of divine grace. Regardless of his sickness, Baldwin was resolved to fight until the end. He fought Saladin all across the holy land, personally leading battles.
At the Battle of Montgisard in 1177, 3,000 Christians led by Baldwin defeated 26,000 under the command of Saladin. Eventually Baldwin succumbed to his illness and died, leaving the Crusader states vulnerable. Saladin was able to retake Jerusalem and every city up to Acre. The new King of Jerusalem attempted to retake Acre, while the Pope called a new Crusade. This time the monarchs of Europe would answer the call personally.
Emperor Barbarossa was the most respected ruler in Europe at this time, at 60 years old, he was at the end of his reign and seeking to secure a legacy for his dynasty. He wrote a letter to Saladin in which he claims right over all lands in Egypt and the Levant as the true Roman Emperor and led 20,000 men towards the Holy lands. While crossing through Byzantine territory, a rogue Greek prince Isaac launched raids on and fought skirmishes with Barbarossa's army but was soundly defeated and fled. Isaac would later kidnap Richard the Lionheart's sister, forcing Richard to hunt him down. Isaac was imprisoned in silver shackles "befitting of a prince", after he had begged Richard not to be put in irons.
When setting out for the Siege of Acre, the rival Kings Richard and Phillipe agreed to put aside their differences for the good of Christendom. Phillipe took a red flag with a White cross while Richard took a White flag with a red cross, which became the flag of England. Richard was by far the most interested in taking the cross, much preferring honorable battle to politics. He was perhaps the greatest fighter of his age, leading several battles from the vanguard, earning him the moniker Lionheart. To fund the Crusade, Richard sold most of his titles and holdings, joking he would have sold London too if he could've found a buyer.
Entering Anatolia in 1190, the Emperor Barbarossa won 2 major battles against the Turks. At Philomelion 2,000 Crusaders beat 10,000 Turks, killing 5,000. At Iconium the two main armies met, with Barbarossa heavily outnumbered. There they cut down the remaining Turk forces. Crossing the Saleph River, seen as the dividing line between Anatolia and the Holy lands, Barbarossa died of unknown causes, likely due to his age. He fell from his horse into the river. Many men departed for home, seeing this as a dark omen. A large contingent continued to join the Siege of Acre, eventually founding the Knights Hospitaller, a volunteer force that protected Pilgrims to the Holy lands.
Richard and Phillipe now arrived at Acre. After a 2 year siege, the city fell back to Christian control in 1191. Saladin began protracted negotiations for the Muslim garrison, buying for time while his forces were massing. Saladin counted on the Franks chivalry, knowing he could delay negotiations as long as possible. Richard however was not a Frank, he was a pragmatic English ruler. Richard massacred the entire Muslim garrison, shocking Saladin and even his French allies. Richard then defeated Saladin at the Battle of Arsuf. 11,200 Crusader allies mainly infantry attacked and defeated 25,000 Saracens, Saladin was forced to retreat South where he besieged a Crusader fortress at Jaffa.
Arguments between Phillipe and Richard began over who should become the new king of Jerusalem, both men had different candidates but Richard eventually yielded to Phillip's decision. Then arguments began over strategy. Phillipe, his men, and the Germans, were all determined on retaking Jerusalem but Richard understood there was no defending Jerusalem against the strength of Egypt. To hold Jerusalem they first had to Conquer the Nile. These arguments led to Phillipe returning for France, where he would retake continental lands from Richard's brother John, who had usurped the throne in Richard's absence. Phillipe argued his truce was only with Richard and not John. Regaining most of the mainland he became Phillipe Auguste. After losing the Angevin Empire John "Lackland" was forced by his lords to sign Magna Carta, further weakening the power of the Crown. -

1192, Richard the Lionheart had raced by sea to relieve the Crusader held city Jaffa, besieged by Saladin's 10,000 Saracen cavalry. Richard's ships held at most 54 mounted knights including himself, 300 infantry, and 2000 crossbowmen. Once within sight of the city however, they saw Abbasid flags flying on the walls and feared they were too late. Seeing ships on the horizon, a priest in Jaffa risked his life by swimming out and warning Richard that the citadel was still holding out but would likely surrender soon. The King of England was the first man on shore, personally leading the amphibious assault on Saladin's forces and quickly routing them. Saladin was forced to withdraw from the city when it's citadel garrison joined in the fighting.
When Saladin returned to counter-attack the city, the Crusader force stood in tight formation outside the cities walls with wood stakes protecting their crossbowmen. The small force of 300 infantry repelled wave after wave of massive cavalry charges. Each charge suffering heavy losses to crossbow fire, while the Crusaders held firm. The Saracens soon became afraid of the Crusaders and even disobeyed direct orders by Saladin to attack, enraging him. According to a Muslim source: "On that day the King of England, lance in hand, rode along the whole length of our army from right to left, and not one of our soldiers left the ranks to attack him.” Finally Richard the Lionheart personally led a cavalry charge of no more than 54 into thousands of Saracens, routing their army completely.
With the situation in Europe, Richard was forced to return home. He signed a truce with Saladin, leaving Jerusalem in Muslim control but regaining control of the coast from Acre to Jaffa. He was determined to eventually return and conquer from Egypt to Jerusalem but it would not be. While fighting to regain control in France, Richard was struck by a rogue crossbow bolt. While dying, he had his men find the man who had shot him. He complimented the crossbowman on his aim, gave him a bag of gold, and ordered his men not to hunt the man down. After Richard's death however the man was executed for Regicide. -
