The American War of Independence broke out in 1775. 1775 In April, gunshots rang out in Lexington, North America, and the American War of Independence officially broke out.
The outbreak of this war seems to be just an ordinary little event. At first, it was only to resist the British economic policy towards North America, and later it became a war of the colonial people of North America 13 States in Britain against British rule.
At that time, Britain was strong, and the British regular army was well-equipped and well-trained. It is not difficult to deal with these North American militia with backward weapons and lack of training.
However, France, which failed in the war with Britain not long ago, seemed to see the opportunity to spoil Britain and began to support the militia in North America 13 States against the British.
1778, France went to war against Britain directly, followed by Spain and the Netherlands in 1779 and 1780. The powers in continental Europe helped thirteen States in North America to fight against Britain, which directly turned this war into a multi-country war against Britain. The long-term war consumption caused great losses to the British army, and finally it was forced to give up the colonies of thirteen States in North America, and the American War of Independence won.
Next, let's take a look at 1775 in the same period, what is happening in the history of our country.
1775 General Agui occupied Wulewei. For China, 1775 is the forty years of the Qing Dynasty in the history of China.
This year, the famous princess of Emperor Qianlong passed away at the age of 49. Also in the second half of this year, General A Gui led the army to successfully capture Le Wuwei, the official village of Dajinchuan.
Lewuwei is the fortified city of the rebels, and the rebels in Dajinchuan are also guarding the city. General A Gui ordered the army to bombard the walled city with artillery after surrounding the martial arts in July.
After a month of siege and consumption by the enemy, General A Gui issued a general order on August 15, and the rebels could not resist. The Qing army led by A Gui successfully occupied Le Wu Wai on August 16, 2006.
Time difference caused by spatial contact isolation. In the same year 1775, the United States waged an independent war against Britain, and in China, General A Gui captured Le Wuwei.
Why do two things that happened in the same period feel different in the same era? It is mainly because of the isolation of spatial connection that the relative time difference is generated.
The American War of Independence belongs to the modern history of the world and the modern history of the West. At this time, the west is marching into capitalist society. At this time, China belonged to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which was the ancient history of China and the feudal society of China.
From the time point of view, the two events are indeed the same period, but one is the modern world history of capitalist society and the other is the feudal society in ancient history. The time difference caused by different social development makes people feel that the two events are not the same era.
What do you think of this? How to treat two things that happen simultaneously in China and the United States? Don't you feel that you are in an era?
