How did thirteen colonies take on the most powerful empire in the world — and win?
Dr. Jason Sharples, professor of early American history and world civilizations at Florida Atlantic University, presents an in-depth lecture examining the strategic dimensions of the Revolutionary War. Moving beyond familiar stories of battles and founding fathers, this talk explores the military planning, global politics, and high-stakes decisions that shaped the outcome of America’s fight for independence.
Discover how leadership, geography, foreign alliances, and calculated risks influenced the war’s turning points — and why strategy, not just spirit, determined victory.
Join us for an engaging evening of historical insight, analysis, and discussion.
