The American War for Independence lasted from 1776 to 1783 and saw the colonies defeat Great Britain to gain independence. Key battles included the Continental Army's surprise attack on Hessian forces in Trenton on Christmas night 1776, which boosted morale, and the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781 after France entered the war. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 officially recognized the United States as an independent nation.
Cause
The main causes of World War I were alliances, nationalism, imperialism, and militarism in Europe. Countries formed opposing alliances that pulled them into war. Nationalism in multi-ethnic empires like Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire fueled tensions. Newly powerful countries like Germany and Italy sought to build empires, competing for resources. Growing militarism as empires expanded led countries to build up powerful armies and armaments. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand sparked Austria-Hungary's declaration of war on Serbia, pulling the tightly allied countries into World War I through the system of entangling alliances.

Monroe Doctrine Presentation
This document discusses the Monroe Doctrine and its context. It summarizes that while George Washington advocated for avoiding permanent alliances, the US later grew concerned about European influence in Latin America. The Monroe Doctrine opposed European colonization in the Americas and was announced in 1823. However, the doctrine did not immediately cause the Holy Alliance to avoid Latin America or Russia to withdraw from Oregon, as other geopolitical factors were also at play. The US needed a strong military and economic power to truly back up the Monroe Doctrine.

Chapter 5: A KIND OF REVOLUTION
The American victory over the British army was made possible by the existence of an already- armed
people. Just about every white male had a gun, and could shoot. The Revolutionary leadership distrusted
the mobs of poor. But they knew the Revolution had no appeal to slaves and Indians. They would have to
woo the armed white population.
This was not easy. Yes, mechanics and sailors, some others, were incensed against the British. But
general enthusiasm for the war was not strong. While much of the white male population went into military
service at one time or another during the war, only a small fraction stayed. John Shy, in his study of the
Revolutionary army (A People Numerous and Armed), says they "grew weary of being bullied by local
committees of safety, by corrupt deputy assistant commissaries of supply, and by bands of ragged
strangers with guns in their hands calling themselves soldiers of the Revolution." Shy estimates that
perhaps a fifth of the population was actively treasonous. John Adams had estimated a third opposed, a
third in support, a third neutral.
Alexander Hamilton, an aide of George Washington and an up-and-coming member of the new elite,
wrote from his headquarters: ". . . our countrymen have all the folly of the ass and all the passiveness of
the sheep... . They are determined not to be free.. . . If we are saved, France and Spain must save us."
Slavery got in the way in the South. South Carolina, insecure since the slave uprising in Stono in 1739,
could hardly fight against the British; her militia had to be used to keep slaves under control.
The men who first joined the colonial militia were generally "hallmarks of respectability or at least of full
citizenship" in their communities, Shy says. Excluded from the militia were friendly Indians, free Negroes,
white servants, and free white men who had no stable home. But desperation led to the recruiting of the
less respectable whites. Massachusetts and Virginia provided for drafting "strollers" (vagrants) into the
militia. In fact, the military became a place of promise for the poor, who might rise in rank, acquire some
money, change their social status.
Here was the traditional device by which those in charge of any social order mobilize and discipline a
recalcitrant population-offering the adventure and rewards of military service to get poor people to fight
for a cause they may not see clearly as their own. A wounded American lieutenant at Bunker Hill,
interviewed by Peter Oliver, a Tory (who admittedly might have been looking for such a response), told
how he had joined the rebel forces:
I was a Shoemaker, & got my living by my Labor. When this Rebellion came on, I
saw some of my Neighbors got into Commission, who were no b.

Revolutionstudyguide
England established political and economic control over the colonies following the French and Indian War by imposing taxes and strict trade regulations without colonial representation in Parliament. Growing colonial resentment led to protests like the Boston Tea Party and calls for independence. The Declaration of Independence, authored primarily by Thomas Jefferson, proclaimed the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and declared the colonies independent states. This launched the American Revolutionary War between the colonists and British, which culminated in the American victory at Yorktown and British recognition of American independence.
American Revolution
The document provides background on key events leading up to the American Revolution. It describes Patriots who wanted independence from Britain and Loyalists who wanted to remain under British rule.
