Lewis Gosset Junior, he's busting his balls. Then Gear falls

30
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.319
in love with deb Winger. All right, what happened on

31
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.840
September the third San Marino. It is a really small country,

32
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.520
only about twenty four square miles is in northeast Italy.

33
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.759
Has a population around thirty five thousand people. Well, it's

34
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:40.639
founded today in the year three oh one, Yeah, by

35
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.759
a Stonemason. He went on to become Saint Marinus. Now

36
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.000
it is the oldest republican existence. Yes, older than the

37
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.280
United States, and yes, the United States is the republic.

38
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.240
Seventeen seventy seven, during the Revolutionary War, the flag of

39
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.080
the United States was flown for the first time in battle. Yeah,

40
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.680
it was at the Battle of Coaches Bridge in Delaware. Oh,

41
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.479
the United States lost that battle, so, uh, that's probably

42
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.599
why we don't hear more about it. But on the

43
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.000
bright side, it was today. In seventeen eighty three, the

44
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.639
Treaty at Paris was signed. Yeah, over in Paris, it

45
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.560
officially ended the Revolutionary War between the United States and

46
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.520
Great Britain. Say, the United States might have lost some battles,

47
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:22.360
we won that war. Now I would have had to

48
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.560

00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.199

53
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.319

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:36.680
