Weren't the European elite already the global elite? With colonies and empires stretching across the globe, etc. I don't think that started after 1776, but high school history was quite a while ago.

"they were happy to be financed by the elite (including the british elite) to "win" against britain for (lol "with") the muricans."
This is the first im hearing about this. Explain? Why would the british elite finance their own defeat?
i just loled real hard when i realized my nic is napolean and were talking about that time period. Yes the british beat the french and they used money they didn't have to help the US. The french monarchs inability to pay the euro bankers then ignited the massive amount of shit the country built up to cause massive chaos in France. Still a good deal for US
