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. 00:00:00

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. 00:00:15

Well, said Bernardo to his army, we need to work harder to deport the Brits from Mississippi and Florida. 00:00:30

After these wise words, all of his men prepared excitedly for a war. 00:00:40

Retreat, guys! Come on, retreat! 00:00:59

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

It's a clear win. Isn't that right, my lord? 00:01:11

Indeed it is, dear comrade. Now, gather around, my men. 00:01:14

We're standing here at a crucial moment in history. 00:01:19

You, my soldiers, are not merely warriors. 00:01:22

You're responsible for this new hope for freedom. 00:01:26

And we are now able to determine our own future. 00:01:29

Hooray! We made it! 00:01:33

And remember, we fight not just for Spain, 00:01:35

but for the independence of these brave colonies, so get your swords and march 00:01:38

for we have a victory to go tell at home. Come on everyone. Upon arriving at home the 00:01:44

soldiers took the good news to anyone and everyone, their families, friends and 00:02:00

even the person that sold them bread. The battle sir, come on and celebrate we've 00:02:06

got tons of fine wine. This was a sight to behold as the Spanish villagers were 00:02:11

singing and dancing to the music, welcoming the brave soldiers who came 00:02:18

exhausted from the battle. Hurry everyone we're going to have a big party at this 00:02:23

square, cheers to us winners! Thanks to the help received from the 00:02:29

Spaniards, with only 500 soldiers and two ships, the Americans were able to survive 00:02:52

the war and eventually win it. 00:02:58

Years later, the Americans were so happy from the independence and so grateful to Galvez 00:03:02

that they even made a statue in Florida for him and marked the day and which these historical 00:03:09

moments will be remembered as the day of Galvez, exactly on his birthday. 00:03:14
