It is the longest siege in British history. For 3 years, 7 months, and 12 days, a tiny British garrison of just 5,000 men, trapped on the Rock of Gibraltar, defied the combined might of France and Spain. This documentary reveals the incredible true story of the Great Siege of Gibraltar (1779-1783). As the American War of Independence raged, Britain's enemies saw their chance to reclaim the strategic gateway to the Mediterranean. We explore how Governor George Augustus Eliott's "Redcoats" endured rampant starvation, deadly scurvy, and a relentless bombardment from a Bourbon army of 40,000 men. We then detail the spectacular climax of the siege: the "Grand Assault." Discover the 18th-century superweapon designed to finally break the Rock—the "unsinkable" floating batteries—and the desperate, ingenious British tactic of "red-hot shot" that turned them into a floating inferno. This is the definitive story of the battle that, after the loss of America, gave Britain a desperately needed victory and forged a legend of endurance that lasts to this day. #britishwarhistory #britishhistory #britishmilitary #britisharmy #historydocumentary #militaryhistory #warhistory #historychannel #ukhistory #britishempire #redcoatera #18thcenturywars
