The Philadelphia Campaign [Part 1/2]: Battles of Brandywine & Germantown, 1777

The Philadelphia Campaign, Part 1/2: the British forces under General Howe are mobilising in 1777, and they plan to strike against the Colonial capital at Philadelphia. General Washington is raising fresh troops, and despite the odds against him, he plans to defend the city. The march against Philadelphia is a strategic gamble for the British, who hope to finally force Congress to see reason - and negotiate an end to the war. The Continentals have other plans however, and prepare to hold on until help can finally arrive from new allies in Europe... This Part 1/2 of the Philadelphia campaign, covering the battle of Brandywine and the battle of Germantown. Part 2/2 covers Valley Forge and the battle of Monmouth. --------------------- History Rebels: welcome to our series on the American Revolution.
