Course detail: The American Revolution: The British Perspective, 1775 - 1783
Join us for an exercise in perspective: We're studying the American Revolution from the British point of view! We'll start with why the British Crown went to war, their public's perception of the conflict and the dissenting voices within Britain. Next, we'll examine both the British political and the military's strategic vision in conducting the war and the logistical handicaps they faced. Finally, we'll look at the successes and failures of the British military operations during the conflict and the motives for ending the conflict.
