User blog:TheWarrior29/POTC in relationship with real world history.

Today i will discuss the relationship between real world history and the POTC films.(Warning: You might learn something.)

1. The Curse of the Black Pearl :  Between 1720-1750: 1720 was the year Captain  " Calico Jack " Rackham is brought to trial at Spanish Town  in Jamaica  and  hanged  at Port Royal two days later. In the movie:pirates would be hypotheticly be on put trial. In the fourth film, Gibbs is put on one of these trials and escapes the death penalty twice because of Jack Sparrow pretending to be a judge and Gibbs destroying Sao Feng's Chart when Barbossa needed it. So it isn't unreasonable to think that Jack Sparrow went on trial for his crimes.

2. Dead Man's Chest & At World's End : Set a year after Curse, this was when Cutler Beckett rose to power. In the 1700's decade, the East India Trading Company is in heavy competetion with The French East Inda Company during the Carnatic Wars  In these films, Beckett is trying to remove competetion, such as the Brethren Court and the Supernatural. Considering they where in the middle of a trade war, this could be how Beckett's facist regime went unnoticed. Since the  East India Company was so important to the British Empire (In the films anyway), everyone was focusing on India  while Beckett was blackmailng Weatherby Swann (According to the offical guide) to send the king good reports to the king making Beckett look like a honorable man.

3.On Stranger Tides: Several Years after the last film, it is hard to pinpoint the exact time, except it was during King George II's reign. So that would mean this film is set between 1722 (The lowest estiamte based on the year the first film toom place) and 1760 (The end of his reign). During this time, Britain would enter The Seven Years War  after witch the King died. The Spanish Empire would have either have already been introduced to the Bourbon Reforms, or be introduced to them shortly afterwords.
