Redcoats in the Pacific: Britain's Claim to the American Northwest (1790s)

In 1790, the British Empire was looking for a new fight. Fresh from the loss of the American Colonies, the Royal Navy turned its eyes to a mysterious, fog-shrouded frontier: The Pacific Northwest. But they weren't the only ones there. The Spanish Empire claimed the entire Pacific Ocean as a "Closed Sea," and they were ready to defend it with cannon fire. In this documentary, we uncover the forgotten story of the Nootka Crisis—a diplomatic standoff over sea otter furs that brought two global superpowers to the brink of World War III. From the arrest of British captains to the massive mobilization of the "Spanish Armament," witness how the Redcoats and the Royal Navy shattered Spain's monopoly and drew the maps of the modern American West. #britishwarhistory #britishhistory #britishmilitary #britisharmy #historydocumentary #militaryhistory #warhistory #historychannel #ukhistory #britishempire #redcoat #royalnavy
