This is what is actually my very first MAD, since the Franada one I posted earlier was made in the middle of this vid. The quality of images changes throughout the video because I acquired Adobe Photoshop after I had already started the MAD. Im sorry, I dont feel like changing it.

DISCLAIMER: I AM AWARE OF MY OWN HISTORICAL INACCURACIES IN THE VID. For starters, the burning of Washington happened during the War of 1812, NOT during the Revolutionary War, but I decided that it fit the dramatic mood of the vid better if placed there. Immediately following that I have the rebuilding of Washington which you already know is out of order. The Louisiana Purchase (and thus Lewis and Clark) happened in 1803 before the burning of Washington, after the Revolutionary War. I think those are all of my chronology errors?

For more clarification, the UK helped the South (portrayed by female America) during the Civil War later on, we have the Battle of Britain with Germany vs. Britain during WWII. Thats about the extent of the history I put in here.

My God did this take every ounce of patience. 200+ frames (236 to be exact), about a months work (although I did do it gradually). And all for a couple that isnt even my OTP. Im taking a break from vid making for a little while to concentrate on school, but Im certainly game for another MAD if I find the right song for the right pairing. Im contemplating a Russia/America one next, and Canada/Netherlands is always awesome. But who knows? No promises.

Song: "Who Knew" by Pink
Maker: Minuiko (me)

  • You did good Arthur.

    You did good.

  • @Ashdono123 While I agree with you, its both their faults. America, out of all of Britain's colonies, had the least the reasons to revolt. Out of all of Britain's colonies, America was the least taxed and what not, if my history is right. America only thought of themselves and Britain didnt think it needed to explain itself, since they were still recovering from a major war, the 7yr war if I remember correctly. (FYI, I am american XD) But I agree that this is not a biased video and I liked it.

  • This is brilliant. I cried. So fitting, emotional, beautiful. I've recently decided that I'll try to become a fan of USUK, and this video just....made me realise that that's not such a bad desicion. I love the WW reference. This is just stunning. Yup, still crying.

  • France you asshole!

  • The one dislike is France. He just can't get over England.

  • Urgh I've never liked this song but I love usuk and the lyrics do fit really well. I'm so torn.
