In which our hero makes everything right with the world as he leads the English peoples to glorious victory against the lesser nations of the world.
The year is 1735; the peoples of the world have seen the fall of the Swedes, the United Provinces, the Portuguese and the Prussians; the peoples of Great Britain have proven themselves the economic, military, and technological power in the world. But this power had two great obstacles; the Brits only had fifteen years to overthrow their greatest adversaries, the Spaniards and the Frenchies, both in Europe and in their American holdings.
In the late end of the year, they made their move. In the single largest coordinated campaign in the history of line warfare. In two different theaters, the Americas and Europe, they attack with a force numbering in the tens of thousands; heavy cavalry, line infantry, 12lb howitzers and cannon, dragoons and a navy built to decide naval combat in the Atlantic for generations to come. They acted decisively, taking Brussels and the Netherlands in a matter of days; meanwhile their American counterpart army took one of the Spanish isles in the Caribbean. The French immediately begged for peace, offering large sums of gold in exchange for preservation. The Brits, being well versed in the art of haggling, bled them for all they were worth and peace was reached, for a time.
The Spaniards however remained resolute, attempting in various and sundry ways to weaken their English opponents, blockading ports and threatening trade routes, but they underestimated the resolve of the English merchant vessels and were summarily vanquished.
And then, four years into the war, treachery. A long time trading partner of the English, Denmark, thinking that they were too distracted by the combat with the Spaniards, declared war on them, hoping to take them by surprise and take their Swedish holdings. But the Danes were foolish in this, for, in secret, within the region of Sweden, the English had assembled a massive army, more than capable of taking Denmark, and, when the time was right, they struck, taking Denmark and all the surrounding territory in a single swift stroke.
Now back across the Atlantic to the American theater.
The English, having taken several territories and now trying to manage the subjugation of the local populace, were not prepared when the Spanish brought up a large, albeit ragamuffin, army from Lower Louisiana. They hit the English army hard and forced them to withdraw into a nearby city, to refit and resupply. The English waited, bringing up reinforcements from Georgia and down from the Iroquois territories, which I believe it is needless to say did not belong to the Iroquois any longer.
After sufficient forces were mustered, they struck, wiping out the Spaniard's unrefined peasant army in one swift stroke.
After that, the Spanish began to fold, losing the Regions of Portugal, Gibraltar, Louisiana, Madrid, Florida, Hispaniola and Cuba.
The French, having been at war with the great English sovereignty off and on, lost France and Quebec, their great strongholds in Europe an America, respectively.
Having achieved their Great goals, the British Empire went on to be the great power in world.
And everybody lived, happily. ever. after.... Amen.
