American European history
Judging from the present development history of the United States, the United States in the past was independent from 13 British colonies. Now it has become the world's top superpower. More than 200 years ago, the rulers of America were Indians. After Columbus discovered this land, 1607, about 100 British people came to the Atlantic coast to establish colonies here, which officially marked the establishment of British colonization in this area.

1. British Colony 1607 years later, Britain established Nicchia Colony in North America, and with the rapid development of colonial industry in this land, it gradually expanded from 1730 to 13 colony. After 1730, a large number of British whites, European immigrants and blacks came here. It has promoted the development of early capitalist economy. After the first industrial revolution, Britain officially began? Empire when the sun never sets? At this point, with France, Austria, Russia and other countries began to compete for colonial rights in Europe, North America, India and other places. Britain's colonization of North America mainly focused on developing the bourgeois market, especially at that time, the region was developed and planted as crops, and the goods were reprocessed and sold to European countries, so as to curb the economic development of North America.

Second, the first boycott of Britain's economic and military containment of North America has a long history. 1765, Britain promulgated the Stamp Duty Act, with the purpose of implementing a heavy economic containment again. This law was unanimously resisted by many colonies, or in desperation, the British Parliament revised this legislation and introduced a new law, the Townsend Tax Act, a year later. Because of the introduction of this new law, North America once again launched a large-scale boycott movement, but at this time Britain launched the first military sanctions against North America because of its strength. 1773, with the development of the British army in the eastern colonies, especially India, a new plan was made for the cultivation of agricultural plants, which greatly disturbed the North American market, so North America launched a rebellion against this incident and dumped tea from three ships transported by Indian companies into the sea. Subsequently, the British artificially punished North America and closed the largest port in North America.

3. The American War of Independence was launched in April 1775. When the British army was investigating the secret arsenal in the small village of Niechendo, it was stopped by the local militia. Then, under the dispute between the two sides, someone fired the first shot. It was this shot that marked the official outbreak of the American War of Independence, which lasted for seven years. 1782, 1654381On October 30th, the British government signed an armistice agreement with North America, and on September 3rd, 1783, the two sides signed the Paris Peace Treaty, and Britain was forced to recognize American independence.
