Few events have such great historical significance as the rebellion of the thirteen British colonies of North America. The colonies opposed George III and the British Parliament and won French help in a war of independence and the United States of America. The American Revolution and the wars that accompanied it defined the nation they became and continue to define the Americans to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Americans in the thirteen colonies defeated the British in the war of 1783, gained independence from the British crown, and founded the United States of America, the first modern constitutional liberal democracy. The American Revolution resulted from attempts to reform the British Empire during the Seven Years’ War<\/a>. It was caused by colonial resistance to British attempts to impose greater control on the colonies and to make them pay the crown for their defense of the colonies during 1754 — 63 French and Indian Wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The early stages of the 1775 war were described as British military victory and American moral triumph. In 1781, American and French troops defeated the British at Yorktown, the last major battle of the war. French help with the help of the continental army forced the British to surrender Yorktown in Virginia in 1781. The Americans gained their independence, but the fighting did not end until 1783.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 1775-83 Revolutionary War, also known as the American Revolution, arose from the growing tensions between the inhabitants of 13 North American colonies and the colonial government represented by the British Crown. Battles between British troops and colonial militiamen in April 1775 began the war in Lexington and Concord, and the colonists waged war against their British overlords the following summer. Before the American Revolutionary War outbreak in 1775, tensions between the colonists and the British government had been building for more than a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The American Revolution, also known as the American Revolutionary War or War of Independence of the United States, followed a decade of growing alienation between the British Crown and large and influential parts of its North American colonies, caused by British efforts to assert greater control over colonial affairs after pursuing a policy of servitude. The American Revolution was a civil war within the British Empire in 1778 and became an international war when France (1778) and Spain (1779) joined the American colonies against Great Britain and its colonial overlords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n King Philip’s war<\/a> ended in 1678 when the colonies of New England with military support from England fought, and this contributed to the development of a unique identity that separated from that of the British people. When the Treaty of Paris in 1783 was signed, ending the war to the advantage of the American colonists, British control over Savannah, Charleston, New York City and Canada was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On 17 June, British troops invaded American troops at Breeds Hill to get the British out of Boston. This resulted in the American War of Independence, the first major battle of the day, leading to heavy losses for the Americans. Convinced that the revolution would fully work and that only a few villains would rally an armored mob against the British, the British expected the revolutionaries to intimidate the vast majority of Americans into loyal cows and those terrorist tactics would rise and drive out the revolutionaries and restore a loyal government in the colonies. British North American colonists helped win World War I, but most rushed away to never be proud of their country again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Britain had accumulated enormous debts after the French and Indian wars, and to reduce at least some of those debts, it expected the American colonies to shoulder their share. A sensible course of action would have been considered if the British had come to defend the colonies during the war, but many colonial masters disagreed with the institute. The Correspondence Committee became the leader of the American resistance to British action and determined the effort to fight the war at state and local levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The composition of British and American forces during the Revolution impacted the introduction of slavery and the role of the French, Spanish, Dutch, Indians, and colonists in the fight for independence. There were problems caused by the Seven Years War, the British efforts to clamp down on American smuggling, prevent wars with the Indians and pay for the cost of deploying troops in colonies. For example, Nation leaders and members of the Continental Congress summarize the controversy with Britain in the abstract language of constitutional law and political theory, while revolutionary terms we use for patriots, small communities, and seaports link their support for the revolution with leading political thinkers of the Italian Renaissance and the English Civil War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The American Revolution can be summarized in the following points The American Revolution also called the War of Independence of the United States or American Revolutionary War (1775-83 ), was an uprising, in which Britain and the North American colonies gained political independence and later formed the new US states. A war broke out in the colony of Massachusetts, which was regarded as a question of American independence. A small number of warring patriots were on the pro-independence side, but politics discouraged their recruitment: in the first major action of the war, inexperienced colonial soldiers hold hard-boiled British veterans in Breeds Hill for more than two hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Few events have such great historical significance as the rebellion of the thirteen British colonies of North America.
