How does this happen...
With their defeat at Mohacs, the king tried to escape, but a river barred their way. So, he tried crossing it, eventually drowning when his armor was swamped with water.
So basically Once upon a time, Britain gobbled up a fifth of the planet, flexing so hard that the sun literally gave up on setting. Meanwhile, Hungary faceplanted into disaster at Mohács, their king drowning mid-retreat like a tragic slapstick skit. Cue centuries of Habsburg drama until 1848 shook things up.
Yes, that's the gist of it.

wow... no wonder monarchies are dead
Lemme share another watershed moment.

Battle of Lutzen, where another monarch, Sweden's Gustavus Adolphus, died in battle.

Basically, the Lion from the North (Gustavus' sobriquet) was so fearless that he didn't fear leading his armies from the front. He died, killed by enemy soldiers when he got separated from his guards' retinue in the chaos of battle.

And also, his death turned the Protestant tide back to Northern Europe. Had he lived and won the Thirty Years' War, he might've converted the Holy Roman Empire to Protestantism.

So is this factual?
It all started 1776 when the British tried to drink all our tea, so we threw their tea into the ocean. They got all mad and stuff and were like 'that was expensive tea jerkwad, now we're going have to stamp you' and we were like 'nuh uh' The thirty six years later we built a nice house in the swamp and they came and burnt it down

Oh yeah, and btw, the 36 years later reference there is the Sack of Washington DC durimg the War of 1812. Brits came, defeated the US army and burned the White House.
What's Boston tea party?
You can wiki it. I'm a Filipino, so I'm not fully interested in that part of the American Revolution.

All I know is that the Americans, pissed off at the British, dressed as Indians, entered the ships with tea crates docked at Boston harbor, and deatroyed those by dumping it at sea.

Basically, Britain increased the colony taxes since they were broke after fighting France and America didn't like that so some men dumped 5+ years worth of tea into the harbor before it could doc in a manner to prevent them from being taxed. If it never arrived on land then it couldn't be taxed. England got mad and sent troops to control the populace and war broke out over it.

Wait no pretend i never asked that.
America was married to Britain?
OG US is the 13 British colonies early Brits established in the New World's eastern coasts during the Age of Exploration.

Current US is a result of several negotiations, territory purchases (like the Louisiana Purchase), coup de etat (like the US takeover of the Kingdom of Hawaii) and wars (like the Mexican War)
Okay, start from Goguryeo until this moment.
Gogeuryo was founded by King Jumong.

Do take note, these war taxes were the direct results of the earlier Seven Years' War, in which, Britain was victorious but its coffers exhausted.
