The Lexington guns in April 1775 kicked off the American Revolutionary War, when Britain was the world's number one power, but why did the United States become independent in a short period of time?Actually,
The United States was the only country to become independent from the colonies of the British Empire at its peak. It would be unimaginable to defeat Britain with the strength of the North American army. The situation at that time was that Britain was replaced by France
Spain and the United States and other parties were caught between them, and finally had to sign a treaty. Britain would never have given up this fertile continent if it had not been forced. After the start of the North American Revolutionary War, France,
Countries such as Spain and the Netherlands intervened and provided substantial military assistance in the name of aid, leaving the British navy incapable and eventually having to recognize the independence of the United States. France was the first country to recognize the United States
and become allies with it against the British. However, the United States was not satisfied with independence and wanted to seize British colonies, and Britain was not willing to lose the colonies it had worked so hard to build. At the beginning of the XIX century,
The United States took advantage of the war between Britain and France to launch a war against Britain known as the Second American Revolutionary War. However, this war was ultimately a war for nothing, and the soldiers of both countries died in vain
What's more unfortunate is that this is also the only time that the United States has been beaten to its own capital by a foreign ** team. This war proved two things, one is that it is impossible for the United States to annex Canada to its country
The second is that Britain cannot restore its domination over the United States. Since then, the two sides have largely maintained peaceful coexistence, with the United States expanding wildly and Britain turning to Asia.
