Whilst most pirates throughout history earned their hardtack by taking ships at sea, there was one group of pirates so numerous, well-armed and professional that they were able to take cities by land: the Buccaneers. In this video we will cover how the buccaneers became outstanding soldiers, their battlefield and siege tactics, their enemies and the tactics used against them, and how cities were plundered.

The US Marines who fought in the banana wars in the late 1800s and early 1900s picked up the tactics used by the Buccaneers and the endogenous people of the Caribbean and central America. These tactics were very effective against the Germans in WW1 and the Japanese in WW2. I had never put the pieces together until I watched this video.

The field armies of Europe have a constant "small war" as the large bodies of men manouver around eachother. Their scouts, foragers, raiders and sentries run into eachother which sparks smaller-scale but just as real fighting. Marine infantry was largely trained as normal infantry, but placed under the navy in organisation. Marine infantry just used normal infantry tactics when they were landed.

So fun fact during the 17th century armor was indeed bullet proof. It wasn’t abandoned due to ineffectiveness but more so due to the fact that it was prohibitively expensive and when monarchs starting fielding massive modern armies, they just couldn’t afford to give everyone armor. Also, while it wasn’t 100lbs it still was heavy and was hard on the troops when trying to do quick marches or large maneuvers. I think the reason it wasn’t so popular in the Caribbean was more-so due to a lack of funds as these were colonies on the edge of the earth, and those armaments and much of a kingdoms wealth was being poured into the 80 years war.

@lornbaker1083 Год назад

Also, i'm pretty sure if you were wearing that at sea In the middle of a battle and fell overboard, you would just sink to the bottom. When you factor in that most of the caribbean conflicts took place on the water, it starts to make even more sense why they didn't bother to use armor like breastplates. Kind of becomes a question of do you want to survive floating until you find an island Or passing ship or do you want to sink to the bottom and die quick. most people didn't know how to swim even though they were sailors because they thought it would be better for a quick death at the sea than being stuck Stranded at sea. At least that's the theory i've heard. But it seems to be the most sound. Especially when The armor factor is added into things. But I wouldn't doubt that you probably if you could have the money But find a blacksmith on the islands that would make you a decent Armored breastplate. However, again, considering the most conflicts took place on the water, it kind of becomes moot point considering how often you would be able to use it without risking drowning. But that's just how I see it.

@SOAVGaming Год назад

Some colonies that were under attack by native Americans were commonly sent obsolete armor, chainmail and hardened leather. Metal armor was still used widely by Calvary who could easily use it with the strain on the horse rather than a single human. When you can protect a single conscript with a piece of armor, or issue four men a weapon with the same amount of metal, it's just simple math. Blood is cheaper than steel.

@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 11 месяцев назад

Tell that to the plethora of breastplates with holes in both sides of them

@Db--jt7bt 10 месяцев назад

The climate also sucked for armor. I remember reading firsthand accounts from Jamestown and some man wearing metal armor died because “his fat boiled inside his armor” while scouting in the summer. They were trying to say that he died of heatstroke. Down in Florida and the Caribbean it was just impossible to safely wear armor because it got so hot.

@GoldandGunpowder 2 года назад

I'm not sure, the Spanish killed off most of the island natives rather quickly, but they persisted for very long on the mainland and have survived to this day. Surely there were some Indians around to teach the early boucaniers their techniques, but they might have picked it up from any tribe in the Caribbean. Natives in Darien used the boucan frame, for example.

I think The Black Pearl had military grade cannons for bombarding forts because Jack Sparrow was technically a rebel, not a pirate. On that note I have no explanation for why the protagonist in Sid Myer's Pirates had military grade cannons for sinking ships and blasting forts. The game is designed to end when pirates were suppose to lose as though your character knows. But if they had fleets of heavily reinforced hulls with military grade cannons they would not have. It is almost like Sid Myer's Pirates is just a History-Fan-Fiction.

@vondantalingting Год назад

You need to remember that the character in that game constantly meets with a governor while having a literal military complex to supply him with guns and balls. Dude's a privateer, not a proper pirate. There's a massive difference between state sponsored militants and local bandits. They are not the same.

@@vondantalingting Always remember that the difference between Privateer and Pirate is a fine one, depending on the side you're on and the situation. "To the Spanish, he's a villain of the worst sort. To the English he's a renowned hero, to the Dutch, he's a vague annoyance, even a nobody."

@lornbaker1083 Год назад

Henry did get a letter of mark from the king allowing him to be a privateer. But I don't think jack ever received one. Even if he did, he probably would have burned it after seventeen seconds Because jack always did have a problem with the english crown. Henry however just sought as a way to get more gear for free. Because as soon as he had blackbeard ship he tossed away the mark Going back to being a full fledged pirate. Which was not that uncommon. Once a war ended and there were no more legal ships to Plunder Many privateers went on to just go back to being pirates. Why stop doing what you're good at just because the war is done. Doubly, so if the only thing that you know how to do as a life skill is basically be a pirate or a privateer.

Hello! I enjoyed the video. I know that there were pirates in the barbary states what is now called Morocco. There was trade with the Netherlands too, al be it on a so so basis. The book was about Dutch Moroccan relations. Sometimes cities were under the rule of what you could consider pirates. They held Dutchman hostage too. They had war with Turkey and they had war with Britain and Spain. They usually captured ships of the coast and forced them into the harbor where they would hold the ships for ransom or ransacked the ship, and take the crew to prisons, sometimes to be sold off as slaves. In some other times there was trade with Morocco, that trade consisted mostly of weapons sold by the Dutch to the Moroccans. Of course there were land battles too. I dont know of other piracy acts in other places, because i did not specifically read on it. Greetings, Jeff

Belgium and Italy belonged to the spanish habsburg empire, but the austrian habsburg empire was mostly landlocked, with only a small coast line in the adriatic.

I will quibble with one thing in this video: the bow and arrow reamined a match for the musket until the early nineteenth century. At that point, the accuracy and ease of manufacture finally made the bow (either used as a mass volley or in the quick, close range style of the Indians) obsolete. The muskets (flint, match, arquebess or otherwise) only had advantage of being easier to learn quickly and not having a parabolic arc like the bow. Otherwise, an amazong video.

7:47 I'm sorry, "leather breastplates?" No, leather wasn't an effective or cheap enough armor to ever be used. You'd actually be better off wearing wood. As for the breastplates, some of them could actually stop some musket shots. Granted, late in the 17th century, most armies had figured out that heavier guns punched holes through even bullet proofed plates, and had thus adopted the heavier guns as the standard, especially as uniformity became more common. Also, the bow (depending on the make and the user) could actually outcompete several musket models in many fields. Better accuracy and range, namely. Muskets were simply more common because of cost effectiveness. You have something that will put out a lot of damage and the replacement shooter can be taught how to apply the basics in about half an hour.

@user-sr5sj4uv4c Depends on the time period and the pay. In this period, the 1600s, you wouldn't wear armor unless you were a lord or officer, which were usually the same thing. In the medieval period, you would normally only have a cheap helmet to start with, but people who survive long enough would buy padded gambesons or chain hauberk.

It's important to note that these weren't just "guerrilla tactics". The armies of the time (late 17th to 18th century) employed light infantry companies that fought in this style, contrary to the popular belief that they simply couldn't fathom not standing in lines. By the end of the American Revolution the British Army had the most experienced and formidable light infantry force in the world
