Dan Snow Explains: America's Failed Invasion Of Canada

تفصیل

Dan narrates the remarkable story of how George Washington's newly established Continental Army tried to conquer Canada in the brutal winter of 1775. The American Revolutionary forces believed their northern neighbour would surely welcome them as liberators, as they themselves fought off the yoke of British rule. Many imagined that these two vast territories were destined to unite into a single continental power. But followed was a disastrous, freezing, chaotic nightmare. Written by Dan Snow and produced by McKenna Fernandez and edited by Matthew Wilson and Dougal Patmore, the channel manager is Vilde Øksnes. 0:00 A 'Mere Matter of Marching In' 1:07 The Green Mountain Boys & Fort Ticonderoga 3:24 Benedict Arnold's First Success: Fort St. John 5:58 The Preemptive Strike & Welcome as Liberators 8:34 The March North: Montgomery & Schuyler's Chaos 11:59 The Vast Territory of Quebec & Guy Carleton's Defense 17:04 Siege of Fort St. John: The Gateway to Canada 20:00 Ethan Allen's Fiasco & The Old Saw Mortar 27:26 The Two-Month Deadline & The Fall of Montreal 33:14 Arnold's Impossible March Through the Appalachian Wilderness 42:27 Quebec: The Stunning Walled City 45:56 The Showdown: Montgomery & Arnold Meet 51:48 The Final Assault & The Battle of Quebec 55:20 Montgomery's Death: The Royal Navy and the Three Cannons 57:28 Arnold's Column & Daniel Morgan's Last Stand 1:02:07 The British Victory & The End of the Invasion You can find more Dan Snow's History Hit on the audio podcast here: https://podfollow.com/dan-snows-history-hit/view Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.
