War between britain and the american colonies couldn't have been avoided if the colonists had representation in parliament. We start with the French and Indian war, an inevitable war between French and British colonists. The war was inevitable because when a country colonizes a free open world ( except for the Native Americans ) there will be nations ready to colonize as well, this leads to land grabs and fighting. Ending in 1763 after a seven year contention, the British colonists end up losing the land they fought for, the appalachian mountains due to the "Treaty of Paris" which gave the natives their land back. The colonists were furious, what made things worse is when Great Britain raised taxes on the colonizes because the French and Indian
Many people disagree with the British because they put taxes on the colonists. Many people also question whether the American revolution was avoidable. I believe the American Revolution was avoidable. Three reasons why the American revolution could have been avoided were that if both sides hadn’t reacted so violently, if the British had put a reasonable tax,and if the British actually listened to the colonists when they said they did not like the taxes that were put on them.
Even with both the English and the Americans willing to compromise and make deals, it would have been very hard to prevent the War for independence. The American enlightenment, however, could have been stopped. A large majority of Americans wanted independence from England mainly because of the way they were being ruled. Of the Americans that wanted to break away were from many backgrounds, they came from all over the social ladder and from all over the world. If they didn’t all come together to be equal around each other then the War for Independence still would have happened, but the success and growth during and after the war would have never happened. It was never a sure thing whether or not the people would come together to move the
The narrative suggests that the war for American independence was not inevitable, that the British Empire could have been saved. Do you agree? At what point during the imperial crisis was peaceful compromise possible?
British imposed acts and events against the colonies which put strain on their relationship, which lead to the Revolutionary War. I believe that the Revolutionary War was not avoidable, but only to an extent.
The American Revolution took place in an era where the wish for independence were at its peak. The British were proven to cause this turmoil, due to their massive failure of statesmanship and unreasonable dismissal of colonial arguments and demands. However, this brings up a question: was the American Revolution inevitable or avoidable? Before this is answered, let’s summarize how everything began.
The Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Concord. The Taxation startwd when The French and Indian
Have you ever thought about what life would be like as a soldier in the American Revolution? Imagine if you fought through the war. Would it be tough for you? How would you feel living away from your home and family? To understand what it was like as either a British soldier or a colonist fighting, you should know the basics of the war.
In the early 1620's, the New England region was first settled by a group of adventurers. These settlers left England, their native country, by the permission of King Charles the First. At their own expense they transported themselves to America, and, with great risk and difficulty, settled among other peoples native to the land. In a very surprising manner, the settlers formed new colonies in the wilderness and these establishments grew and prospered. Before they had departed England, the colonists' terms of freedom and their relation to the mother country were fully settled; they were to remain subject to the King and dependent on the kingdom of Great Britain. In return, they were to receive protection. They would also enjoy the
If someone was to get bullied every day in different ways a fight is bound to happen. This is why the American revolution was absolutely necessary. I believe so because the colonist were pushed around and mistreated by the British, even if the American revolution didn't happen the a war would still be waiting to happen. Things the British did leading up to the war was unacceptable. Even though the British may have a reason it was unfair to the colonist. The British was cruel and unfair.
The militia men left their mark on the world. Risking their lives, and quality of life for their cause. Inspiring others to do the same. As a result, becoming the American revolution. Their stand became the greatest stand in the world. Effecting countless lives by paving the pathway towards a free
The American Revolution between Great Britain and the American Colonies was not avoidable. This is because in source a: Legislation bank it shows six acts that were put into place to reduce the high national debt back in Britain. These acts were to collect taxes on anything that was highly used in the colonies and for other services. As you would expect, the colonists were outraged. In source b: Protests in Boston, it shows multiple colonists tar and feathering a British tax collector. The revolution was not avoidable, these pieces of evidence show how this is so. I say this because source a clearly shows why the british put these acts into effect so the colonists were outraged because they should not have been taxed without representation.
The Enlightenment or the Age of Reason was a major influence in the American revolution. The Enlightenment was a cultural movement that began in Europe that promoted the power of reason in order to reform society and acknowledge intellectuals. His arguments concerning liberty and the social contract later influenced the written works of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and other Founding Fathers of the United States[8], Locke was coined the Father of Liberalism.[9] Locke stated that In a natural state all people were equal and independent, and everyone had a natural right to defend his “Life, health, liberty, or possessions,” which was later implemented in the American Declaration of Independence as, “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”[10]
Ultimately, the French Revolution was inevitable. The people of France were growing increasingly more upset with treatment they received from the upper and royal classes, mainly due to special privileges and weakened punishments for people of aristocratic families. Further fueling the fire, Louis XVI, the reigning king at the time, had recently levied a new land tax to solve France’s financial issues. The nation’s public banded together to eliminate unjust ruling in their country once and for all. The revolution officially began in June 1789 and quickly escalated, with the Storming of the Bastille, the forced release of French prisoners by the public, occurring less than a month later. While members of the government had anticipated an angry mob, the actual amount of people that showed up at the Bastille far surpassed their prediction of about 100. Eventually, civilians were able to barrel their way into the prison and release the seven inmates, all of which were imprisoned by King Louis XVI. The event left approximately 100 military and insurgents dead and marked a huge leap toward the eventual creation of the Republic of France.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 was one of the most explosive events in terms of politics, that Russia has ever come in contact with. It happened during the 20th century and was the rise of communism and the rise of the Soviet Union. The Russian revolution was a pair of two revolutions during the years of 1905 and 1917, that were the result of Russia’s poor conditions at the time. A few of the terrible conditions were food shortages and overcrowding populations that became brutal and uncontrollable. Overtime, the people became enraged with Russia’s ruler, Tsar Nicholas ll, because he continuously led Russia into wars and violence, which added to the problems they already had. This irritated workers so much that they formed a protest in the year of 1905 in hopes to put a stop his foolery. The protest later ended up resulting in the loss of several people and would be known as the Bloody Sunday Massacre, which was the final straw for many. The working class, conducted by Vladimir Lenin, alongside the Bolsheviks, attacked the government and eventually “dethroned” Tsar Nicholas ll. The Bolsheviks then took over Russia’s government and converted the communist party into the “red party.” After three years of attacking and resisting, Vladimir and his Red party won the Russian Revolution of 1917 and received the win they so strongly desired.
