1776, American President Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence.

1783, the United States officially became independent.

The period from 1700 to 1799 is called18th century. This century pays attention to "stability" and "harmony", but it is also the embryonic period for people to explore nature. Politically, European countries started small-scale trade with China, Indian and Turkish, and continued to establish colonial strongholds in Southeast Asia and Oceania. At this time, most monarchical countries (such as Qing Dynasty, Mongolian Empire, French Empire, Ottoman Turkey, Austrian Empire and Russian Empire) were in their heyday, but the democratic trend of thought was gradually ignited, and the American War of Independence and the French Revolution had the deepest influence. Academically, the Enlightenment in Western Europe began to challenge the ideological system of the Christian church, which made scientific achievements infect all levels of society. The regions outside Europe also came into contact with this trend of thought through missionary work and trade, which led to a small-scale academic revival. In addition, due to business needs, some technologies were born and became the origin of the industrial revolution. In addition to technology, the mode of production and operation in western Europe has gradually changed: the traditional hereditary apprenticeship system has gradually been destroyed, and the division of labor and factory production methods have begun to rise. In terms of art and culture, neoclassicism, which pursues the Greco-Roman style, prevails in the western world and has influenced the court art in India and China. But also, the cultural goods from China and Oceania flowed into Europe, which made the upper class in the western world blow a very superficial exotic wind.
