For starters, Britain did not get as much money as all the other countries and Britain also had to pay money to the countries, give land away, and barely got anything in return. Although Britain gained the money that started the war, Britain lost far more land to the countries and had to pay almost 4.6 million US dollars. Britain had to give away all that land and money and from all the losses during the war, the whole war, not including the payoff and treaty, cost Britain approximately 316.6 million US dollars.
Why Britain Started The War
Britain started the Revolutionary War because they wanted the colonists to pay taxes while the colonists wanted to be free from England so the Americans rebelled with weapons so Britain fought back. The Lobsterbacks (the British were frequently called that because of their red coats) and the Minutemen ( the colonist's militia were called that because they could be ready to fight in a minute ) stood across each other in Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts. The bullet described as “ the shot heard around the world” signaled the start of the American
The Treaty of Versailles blamed Germany for the losses France experienced in World War I. The treaty required Germany to pay for these losses. Germany was required to pay France 132 billion marks in reparations. This fine was excessive in order to show that Germany was weak and to further weaken the German government. This caused inflation. The German government inflated the amount of money so much that it became so worthless that people used
Before the American Revolution, there are several British Colonies in the Americas. Not all of them participated in the revolution. There were 13 clones which ended up rebelling. These were Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Mary land,North Carolina, South Carolina, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island. The colonists wanted to be free from the England. They started to fight the soldiers of the English army in 1775. The Americans started a war with England. We call it the Revolutionary War. The American Revolution was on April 19, 1775 and is called the “shot heard around the world” It was named that because the hand draw action of the battles of Lexington and concord an the siege of Boston
The two sides eyed each other and waited for the first move. No one is sure who made the first move, all we know is that a shot rang out and the fighting started. This first shot is called the “shot heard round the world”.The militia or residential army alongside the minutemen who claimed to able to be ready to fight within a minute were no match for the British troops. The Americans were defeated and the British moved on to concord to seize the gunpowder. The British troops were met by more minutemen and more of the militia. This time the battle was much harder for the British and eventually they had to retreat. The British retreated toward Boston and were again sucked into combat with the colonial minutemen and militia. The colonists killed over 125 people including British officers. These fights where the British had killed Americans were taken and made into propaganda to increase the tension between the two
On an “unremarkably clear and pleasant” day in April 19, 1775, the shot that was said to had been able to be heard around the world was fired. (A Guide to Battles) This began the battles in which we know as Lexington and Concord, and the war we know as the Glorious/American revolution. It was fought between the British whom had feared American retaliation for some time, and the American Colonies whom were tired of feeling oppressed by the British. General Thomas Gage advised his British superiors to prepare for war, but this advice was refused and when the time finally came, they were not prepared for the fight at hand. (History of AM Rev) Many events, rules, and regulations helped to lead up to the retaliation of the Americans.
III. As a result of the harsh treatment and strict regulations put on the colonists by the British such as the Boston Massacre, the Tea Act, Stamp Act, and other taxes, the colonists were ready for a change. They are tired of being controlled by a government on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, and are ready to start fighting for their freedom. The colonists form many rebellious groups such as the Sons of Liberty, to protest and rebel against the British involvement in their country. They hold meetings and help carry out acts against the British such as the Boston Tea Party. When the British don't change their ways it is time for war. The fighting starts at Lexington and Concord in the spring of 1775 with the first shots being fired. People all over wanted to help in the war effort by joining the army and forming small militia groups to fight the British. Benjamin Martin's army was one of these groups. The British won many battles
Signed on the third of September 1783, The Treaty of Paris brought the Revolutionary War had finally concluded. April 19, 1775 is when the Revolutionary war against Great Britain and America came to be. The thirteen colonies had a rebellion in opposition to England to be liberated from under their rule; this is what had started the war. "The people of America were angry; they did not like the idea of paying taxes to the King of England'' (The). The King ended up sending an army to America and tried to make the colonies pay the taxes, but the colonists refused, they wanted to be free from England once and for all. The Americans started to come to blows with the British soldiers and declared freedom. The man known as our very first president; George Washington, was an American statesman and soldier who served as the leader of the American military. George Washington was also one of the seven founding fathers. The French played a vital role in helping the colonies, because of their bad relationship with the British, "they backed up the United States in its military efforts until the U.S. had full independence from Great Britain" (France). This made the United States and France
‘What is the Treaty of Paris? Why does it matter to me?’ Well, to answer these questions, the Treaty of Paris was a document signed on September 3, 1783. This document was a significant event in history because it represented the British acknowledgment of American Independence. The French and Indian War (the cause for the treaty) was the result of France and Great Britain’s conflict mainly over Ohio River Valley and one other territory. Without it, who knows what America would be like today.
Both sources say that the British soldier on duty and a colonist had an altercation. After the altercation both men sent for their friends and fellow soldiers. When the friends and soldiers arrived the altercation escalated. Both sources claim that British soldiers were the first to fire into the crowd of colonists. In conclusion this was the unofficial start to the Revolutionary war. With 3 dead the war had been initiated.
On September 3, 1783, the problem between the Unites States and Great Britian ended the Revolutionary War and recongnized American Independence. Unites States used their power to end their problem by State and Local Government. The articles of peace was signed by Adams, Franklin, Jay, and Henry Laurens on November 30, 1782. But the final treaty was signed on September 3 1783, and it was ratified in the early 1784.
Before the Treaty of Paris, The Revolutionary war was between the American, British, and a little bit of France. The Americans were fighting for their land and rights. The British wanted to control the colonist for their money. The French helped the Americans at almost the end of the war. The Americans with the aid of French helping to fight the British
When the war was over Britain was the chief victor, but the costs of war would have a greater impact than the victories. Having lost all major allies and trying to pay off a crippling debt Britain was alone in an effort to save their own government. They had to find a source of revenue and they did, in the form of taxes.
In 1763, the treaty of Paris ended the French and Indian War between Great Britain and France, along with their allies. During the war, British forces had gained important victories against France overseas. They had also captured
The Treaty of Paris saw an effective end to the American Revolutionary War and brought relative peace to the United States of America and Great Britain. The treaty was officially signed on September 3, 1783 by one representative from Great Britain: David Hartley, and three American representatives: John Adams, John Jay, and Benjamin Franklin. All three of the American representatives played important roles in bringing about the treaty, but Benjamin Franklin, the senior of the three, was particularly crucial to their endeavours. Franklin worked toward the ending of the American Revolution as a brilliant diplomat, the first American Minister to France, and other roles.
The Treaty of Paris was the official peace treaty between the United States and Britain that ended the American Revolutionary War. It was signed on September 3, 1783. The Congress of the Confederation ratified the treaty on January 14, 1784. King George III ratified the treaty on April 9, 1784. This was five weeks after the deadline, but nobody complained.
I agree with your discussion and here is the reason why. When the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1763, brought the end to the Seven Years' War between France and Great Britain. France surrendered majority of its territorial possession in North America; exchanging a number of these possessions to Great Britain. British colonists in America did not have anyone concerns about the threat of the French in the continental area because the areas between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains, several islands in the Caribbean, and Canada all fell under the control of the British because of the treaty. In the long run, the Treaty of 1763 led to friction between
