American History
From wars from the beginning to the current time, the USA is turning 250 years old. But where did it all start and how did the USA come this far?
Well to start from the beginning when America first started as a colony. During this time period, America wasn’t even named America, it was named 13 colonies by Great Britain. The 13 colonies consisted of: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
7 Year War Belief Explanation
The 7 year war was a war with Great Britain (now known as the United Kingdom) and the Kingdom of France (now known as France) along with the allies both kingdoms had, which let the war have a globe scope. The war would include places in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The war began in 1756 for the globe scope part, but even so in North America it has started more early on, instead of 1756 it started 2 years earlier in 1754.
The war is also known as the French and Indian War in North America. The war happens with countries/empires wanting more land and territories across the globe
These colonies were adopted after the 7 year war with Great Britain (now known as the United Kingdom) and the Kingdom of France (now known as France). The 7 year war would leave Great Britain in debt which would later on cause a revolution.
After the 7 year war with KoF, Great Britain king at the time King George the 3rd would tax the 13 colonies to earn back the money they have lost due to the 7 year war.
American Revolution
The first act of Great Britain to tax the colonies would be the Sugar Act.
