The last quarter of the nineteenth centruy is known as the age of imperialism, when rival European empires carved up large parts of the world among themselves. (pg 655)For most of this period the United States remained a second-rate player on the world stage. (655) The 1890's marked a major turning point in America's relationship with the rest of the world. (656) Ever since the Monroe Doctorine, many Americans considered the Western Hemisphere to be an American sphere of influence. There was persistent talk of aquiring Cuba and President grant sought to annex the Dominican Republic only to see the Senate reject the idea.
As England tried to hold its grip on the becoming independent colonies, Britain was in need of a centralized colonial government that should have been established from the beginning. Due to the great distance between America and England and its inefficient policies, the colonies had a great deal of freedom. When Britain decided to enforce their influence and rule on America following the Seven Years War, there was many areas of disagreement that eventually lead to the American Revolution. Following the victory of the French and Indian War, Britain gained control of half of the continent by the scratch of a pen (94). Britain's national debt doubled during the course of the war and the cost of extended empire cause a dramatic increase in the cost of living.
By the time the Declaration of Independence was adopted in July 1776, the Thirteen Colonies and Great Britain had been at war for more than a year. Relations between the colonies and the mother country had been deteriorating since the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763. The war had plunged the British government deep into debt, and so Parliament enacted a series of measures to increase tax revenue from the colonies. Parliament believed that these acts, such as the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Townshend Acts of 1767, were a legitimate means of having the colonies pay their fair share of the costs to keep the colonies in the British Empire. Many colonists, however, had developed a different conception of the empire.
Independent The United States of America comprises of the thirteen states which were under the Great Britain colonial rule among other annexure from the West thereafter. For these thirteen colonies, it was a great struggle to obtain independence from the tyrannical rule of King George III. Through the American revolutionary war, the US gained the sovereignty it had long desired. The war was fought between 1775 and 1783 but the declaration of independence was done on July 4, 1776 (Jefferson, 7). This allowed the colonies to act independently of Great Britain after a long period of suffering.
VENN DIAGRAM: COMPARE AND CONTRAST OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION (1789) AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION (1776) PART I: FRENCH REVOLUTION ONLY (July 14th, 1789): (The following items do not apply to the American Revolution.) 1. Medieval French society divided into three classes, the Three Estates. 2. France was heavily indebted for financially supporting the American Revolution, as it would weaken France’s European rival, Great Britain, because of the wars waged by Louis XIV and spending of royal family.
The American Revolution was one the most important events in American history. Most people think that it was a war fought between the British and Americans for American independence and that the Americans had won. The Americans were tired of the British testing their power in the new colonies, so they had started to smuggle and boycott goods from Britain. Eventually the colonies grew impatient and decided that they wanted their independence. The year 1763 was marked as a turning point in American History.
The American Revolution was the political upheaval during the last half of the 18th century in which thirteen colonies in North America joined together to break free from the British Empire, combining to become the United States of America. While no one event can be pointed to as the actual cause of the revolution, the war began as a disagreement over the way in which Great Britain treated the colonies versus the way the colonies felt they should be treated. Americans felt they deserved all the rights of Englishmen. The British, on the other hand, felt that the colonies were created to be used in the way that best suited the crown and parliament. This conflict is embodied in one of the rallying cries of the American Revolution: “No Taxation Without Representation.” And similar to such a cry, is the statement, “The demand for no taxation without representation was the primary force motivating the American Revolutionary movement, and for many it became a symbol of democracy;” ultimately saying that the American Revolution, as well as the colonist’s rage towards Britain, grew out of increasing, continuous restrictions placed upon the colonies by the British.
