00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:15,320
We are in 1779, in Mexico City, and Bernardo de Gálvez, a Spanish military leader and governor of Spanish Louisiana, after his father's death, he still continued with his legacy.

2
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:29,320
He became viceroy of New Spain, and during this he worked for the well-being of the people, improved the cities, public facilities, and began constructing the castle of Chapultepec.

3
00:00:30,620 --> 00:00:39,579
Well, said Bernardo to his army, we need to work harder to deport the Brits from Mississippi and Florida.

4
00:00:40,979 --> 00:00:46,280
After these wise words, all of his men prepared excitedly for a war.

5
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:01,600
Retreat, guys! Come on, retreat!

6
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:11,319
Galvez's army heard the retreat signals from the Brits and gave it their all at the last moments, finally defeating them.

7
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:14,700
It's a clear win. Isn't that right, my lord?

8
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:19,700
Indeed it is, dear comrade. Now, gather around, my men.

9
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:22,700
We're standing here at a crucial moment in history.

10
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:26,700
You, my soldiers, are not merely warriors.

11
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,700
You're responsible for this new hope for freedom.

12
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:33,700
And we are now able to determine our own future.

13
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:35,700
Hooray! We made it!

14
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,700
And remember, we fight not just for Spain,

15
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:44,219
but for the independence of these brave colonies, so get your swords and march

16
00:01:44,219 --> 00:02:00,870
for we have a victory to go tell at home. Come on everyone. Upon arriving at home the

17
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:06,489
soldiers took the good news to anyone and everyone, their families, friends and

18
00:02:06,489 --> 00:02:11,949
even the person that sold them bread. The battle sir, come on and celebrate we've

19
00:02:11,949 --> 00:02:18,610
got tons of fine wine. This was a sight to behold as the Spanish villagers were

20
00:02:18,610 --> 00:02:23,590
singing and dancing to the music, welcoming the brave soldiers who came

21
00:02:23,590 --> 00:02:29,449
exhausted from the battle. Hurry everyone we're going to have a big party at this

22
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:52,020
square, cheers to us winners! Thanks to the help received from the

23
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:58,500
Spaniards, with only 500 soldiers and two ships, the Americans were able to survive

24
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:02,300
the war and eventually win it.

25
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:09,379
Years later, the Americans were so happy from the independence and so grateful to Galvez

26
00:03:09,379 --> 00:03:14,960
that they even made a statue in Florida for him and marked the day and which these historical

27
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:21,419
moments will be remembered as the day of Galvez, exactly on his birthday.
