The causes of the American War of Independence

The reason of American War of Independence: British colonial oppression hindered the development of capitalist economy in North America.

The British government constantly raised taxes on the North American colonies, implemented a high-handed policy, and arbitrarily oppressed and brutally exploited the colonies.

Britain hopes that North America will always be its raw material producing area and commodity market, and tries its best to suppress the economic development of the colonies and seek more wealth from them. The colonial people were dissatisfied with British exploitation and slavery, and the contradiction between the two sides became increasingly acute, which eventually led to the outbreak of war.

Evaluation of American War of Independence;

As the first large-scale colonial war for national independence in the history of the world, the American War of Independence opened a huge gap in the colonial system of the British Empire and set an example for the colonial national independence war in Latin America.

The American War of Independence overthrew British colonial rule and created the first federal presidential country in the world-the United States of America. At the same time, the old colonial system, such as eldest son inheritance law, restricted inheritance law and service tax, was eradicated, and the slavery contract was basically abolished. Thus liberating the productive forces and opening up a broad road for the development of the American economy.
