Canada also speaks English names.

American War of Independence (American War of Independence,1775–1783).

The seven-year war between Britain and France for maritime hegemony and plundering colonies ended in the victory of the United States. Britain took over Canada in North America, controlled New France east of the Mississippi River, strengthened its control over the North American colonies in an all-round way, and declared the west of the Appalachian Mountains a royal manor, banning colonial people from getting their hands on it. It also imposed heavy taxes, severely suppressed smuggling and restricted economic activities, which seriously harmed the economic interests of people of all walks of life in the colonies. Since 16 19 Virginia established parliament, the colonies have successively established parliaments to compete with Britain. 1765, nine colonies held protests against stamp duty, which set off a wave of anger.

18 In the 1970s, Britain further implemented the high-pressure policy, and 1770 witnessed the Boston Massacre. The tea tax law was passed on 1773, which caused the Boston tea party. 1774, five intolerable laws were promulgated (such as closing Boston harbor, sending more British troops, abolishing Massachusetts autonomy, establishing British judicial power over colonies, etc.). ), from the political and military stepped up control and repression of the colonies. 1772- 1774, the colonies generally set up communication committees to lead the anti-British struggle. 1On September 5, 774, representatives of colonies except Georgia held the first continental congress in Philadelphia, and adopted a resolution to sever all trade relations with Britain, followed by the Declaration on Colonial Rights and Hatred, and submitted a petition to the king of England. On April 1775, 18, in Lexington and Concord, near Boston, colonial patriots fired their guns of resistance, which started the war of independence. In May, the Second Continental Congress was held. In July of the following year, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring that 13 colonies were independent from Britain.

At the beginning of the war of independence, the strength of the two sides was very different. With the joining of France and Spain, Britain was gradually in a weak position, and the war lasted for 8 years. In the month of 178 1, 10, Rochambeau, commander of the French army, led the American-French allied forces (the main navy and army on the battlefield were regular French troops) to capture the British stronghold of Yorktown. In fact, the surrender ceremony was presided over by the British general O 'Hara, and Lincoln, Washington's deputy, was in charge. The French commander refused to accept Cornwally's surrender and ordered him to surrender to Washington, but Cornwally did not want to surrender.

Although new york was still occupied by British troops at that time, Cornwallis decided to surrender the day after Clinton's reinforcements set out in new york. After the reinforcements arrived, they had to retreat under the strong pressure of the left-behind French Lu Haijun, and the large-scale war of independence basically ended. 1783 Britain and the United States signed the Paris Peace Treaty. During the War of Independence, a number of outstanding politicians emerged, such as George Washington, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, Thomas Jefferson, the drafter of the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin, a diplomat, and Thomas Paine, a cultural warrior.

1775, the war of independence broke out: (Lexington gunfire: the war of independence began) Thirteen-state militia failed to attack Canada.

1776, Britain sent more troops to North America, and Washington led 18000 troops to defend new york, which was defeated by the British. When we retreated across the Delaware River, there were only 4,000 people left, and France and Spain began to provide financial assistance to the United States.

1777, the British army occupied Philadelphia, the seat of the Continental Congress, and Washington tried to counterattack Philadelphia. As a result, the troops actually opened fire on themselves in the dense fog, and the counterattack failed. The American army defeated a British army sweeping the floor in the mainland and won the battle of Saratoga (Saratoga: the turning point of the War of Independence).

1778, France recognized the independence of the United States and signed a treaty of alliance between France and the United States, which stipulated that "France guarantees the independence of the United States and its territory determined at the end of the war with Britain". Subsequently, France declared war on Britain, and there were many naval battles between Britain and France. After learning that the French fleet was sent to North America, the British government ordered the British troops stationed in Philadelphia to retreat to new york, and the US military "recovered" Philadelphia: Britain occupied several strongholds in the West Indies and India; At the end of the year, the British army captured Savannah, an important city in Georgia, and the Continental Army lost more than 5,000 people.

1779, France occupied St. Louis in Senegal and several islands in the West Indies; France and Spain formed a humanoid joint fleet to attack the British mainland, and the British main force concentrated on defending the mainland: France and Britain fought many naval battles; The French-American joint attack on Savannah failed.

1780, the British army captured Charleston, an important city in South Carolina; Britain and France fought many naval battles in the West Indies; In July, the French special expeditionary force led by Rochambeau landed in Newport.

178 1 year, the French army failed to attack Jersey (this is an island in the English Channel and the only way for the French army to land in Britain); The French Grasett Fleet came to North America, fought with the British Navy for many times, and gained the absolute sea control right of chesapeake bay in a short time. Subsequently, the French-American Coalition forces forced Yorktown defenders to surrender under the coordination of Grasett Fleet, and the large-scale fighting in North America ended: the French-American Coalition forces occupied Pensacola, Florida, and the French-British navy broke out several times in the West Indies and Cape Verde waters.

1782, the French-Spanish allied forces occupied the san felipe fortress in Minoka, an island in the middle and west of the sea: France occupied several islands in the West Indies and trincomalee in Sri Lanka: France and Britain fought many naval battles along the coast of India: the French occupied and destroyed many British fortresses of Canaanites; In Gibraltar, 33,000 French-Spanish troops launched a general attack on the British defenders and were repelled.

1783 France and Britain launched a sea-land tug-of-war in Kudrol, India, and Britain lost.

1On September 3, 783, the Paris Peace Treaty was signed, and France and Britain stopped fighting (the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty officially recognized the independence of the United States).

In fact, the North American War of Independence was a large-scale confrontation between Britain and France, and the United States coincided with it. Strangely, the independence of the United States can only be achieved by the weak will of the militia and parliamentarians who may defect at any time in 13 state.

In fact, I have this information on the Internet. ...
