Prerevolution Canada

In the late 1700s, people moved to the United states wanting a better life. They wanted to separate from Britain. The United states were running by its first president George Washington. The french helped America do this. The United States borrowed money from the french to pay for the war. They paid the French back later.

This alliance had helped the Americans greatly by providing firearms, gunpowder, a naval force, more military strength, and most importantly, financial aid. America, at the time, had already been suffering from debt and did not have enough gold to back up the less important paper money. This financial aid from France had been essential in the United States' victory in the war overall with battles following Saratoga. To continue with the previous statement, the official formation of French-American alliance in 1778 that had offered the colonists everything Britain was asking for but with freedom. The alliance might have created a shaky bond between America and France but it had made the fight for independence fairer between the the two and

After this battle, in 1778, Vergennes and Louis IVX signed a treaty of friendship and alliance with all the American colonies and once again the French and the British were at war. Later, in 1779, Vergennes accomplished to convince the Spanish to go into the war and the Spanish then joined the battle against the British. But in contrast to France, Spain refused to be on familiar terms with the independence of the United States. Spain did not want to encourage similar anti-colonial revolts in the Spanish Empire. The Netherlands was also an opposing party

During the course of the Second World War, Canada evolved into a powerful, resourceful nation that was needed by the Allies. Canada contributed significantly to the Allied war effort during World War II where they fought on land, water and air and assisted indirectly from the home front. On land, they fought in numerous battles and campaigns such as D-Day, Hong Kong, and the Italian campaign. However, they were also strong and resourceful when it came to air and naval forces in battle. But even outside of battle, Canada was still able to make a contribution through its civilians.

Throughout history, the United States has encountered conflicts with numerous foreign nations in order to retain their autonomy. For instance, during the American Revolution, the American colonists revolted against British rule in England and acquired their independence, after being profoundly taxed and having to conform to a myriad of unfair laws because Britain’s war debt from the French and Indian War. Likewise, during the War of 1812, the United States was required to enter a war with Great Britain once again, as a result of French and British conflicts. Although, the United States initially preferred in maintaining their position of neutrality, the strong and antagonistic British caused numerous tribulations for America, as the U.S. army

The French contributed gunpowder, attire, and canons to Colonists. Eventually, the French officially joined the United States and helped repel the British along the American coast. The Spanish also provided the colonies with supplies and attacked British troops in Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi in 1779. ("American Revolution." For Kids: Allies (The French).

If the British had never impeded with the American exchange there could have possibly been in avoidance of the War of 1812. The United States was influenced to keep up its power and lack of bias after watching the European war amongst France and Britain. In order to overcome each other, the French and British utilized financial strangulation. In 1803, Britain blockaded the French’ belongings in Europe. American ships cruised by American ports in attempt of sidestepping the British exchange prevention amongst friends and its colonies. The exchange confinements led the United States to take up arms against the British to expel the exchange restriction.

Greece, a British ally  attacked turkey and was fought off. Then Turkey advanced on the British at Chanak and outnumbered the British. The British Prime Minister  David Lloyd George, called on the dominions and colonies of the British Empire for help. Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King refused  to send Canadians without question.  King wanted Parliament to decide whether Candian forced should go. Arthur Meighen, leader of the opposition (1922) said, “ When  Britain’s message came[asking for help at Chanak], then Canada should have said: “ Ready, aye ready; we stand by you.” I hope the time has not yet  gone by when that declaration can be made” (p.219). This shows how Britain controlled Canada and involved them into in every problem they got into. Not all Britain’s battles are ours too. The Chanak affair signalled that Canada wants to make its own decisions about involving themselves in conflicts. In 1923, Canada only could sign treaties with other countries that had been co-signed by British officials. After ww1  halibut stocks off the Northwest coast of Canada and the U.S were endangered due to

Consequently, the war between Britain and France put America in the middle of a shipping war (1807). France did not want America giving its goods to Britain and vice versa, and Britain, in particular, was seizing American ships taking U.S. sailors to serve in their Royal Navy.

Leading up to the war, the Americans had a multitude of reasons for anger towards the British. The wrong done by England that outraged many U.S. citizens was the British's capturing of America's trading vessels and impressing of American sailors. During England's war against Napoleon, France's current dictator, the English army began to grow smaller in numbers, causing the need for more men, which they supplemented by taking America's seamen. Because Britain and France were also at war at the time, neither country wanted trade to exist between America and the enemy, leading to even more captured

An interesting fact is that both countries, America and France, fought their wars on their homeland. The Americans faced a small amount of British troops established in the colonies already, and they also had the Redcoats crossing and ocean from Great Britain. This gave the Americans an advantage that the French did not have. The Americans were blessed with more time to organize and more time for warning. The French did not have this advantage because they were fighting their own government on their own soil. Another significant part of each war is that the Americans did not have any neighbors whereas the French had to worry about invasion from other countries in their time of weakness. The best advantage the Americans had was the fact that the British Empire was the most hated country of the time. Many countries sent aid to America especially the French. The French paid for a large sum

Since America was right in between them they were bribing and taking things away to make them help one another in the war. The British thought America had chosen the French and were angered, so they took away trade and that wasn’t good because that’s how America got all their food and essentials they needed to survive. So America then started making factories to help themselves. This was such an important part of history because without this happening we would have been leaning on other countries to help us survive and wouldn’t have been as independent as we

Spain and the United States began relations in the earliest days of North America’s colonization. Spain’s settlements in Florida, followed by other colonies in Louisiana, Texas, and the Southwest and California, meant that early American colonists would come into contact and later into conflict with the Spanish. In the early days of the American Revolutionary War, Spain assisted the Americans in their struggle for independence. Many years later, relations between Spain and the U.S. deteriorated and war broke out; in recent decades, however, the countries began repairing economic relations once again.

Morton’s book The First World War gives a description of the alliance between Canada and Great Britain being prepared to answer the call of arms from Britain against Germany. This source would help my thesis because this was one of the many alliances that countries in the war would have to face. Using thus source to support my thesis by explain the power of their alliance they had in want oppositions they may have face together. No, I will not be using this source to disagree with. The author Desmond Morton has about 40 books and one of the most respected Canadian author’s. He has several books discussing war and events from Canada perspective to including where they stood in World War I.

The first alliance that we made was with Great Britain. We were able to make an economic, geographic and military alliance with them, which will benefit us. They agreed to give us $400,000 dollars to help us progress in our efforts to industrialize. They also gave us assurance that we would get protection from their great army and especially their navy. This will help us with defending ourselves from Germany.
