officially started April 19, 1775. |
| Where? |
In
the American Colonies. |
| Why? |
It
was ignited by the British government trying to take control of the
Colonies by passing laws. It also started by the the Rebellion in
resistance the the laws and taxes. |
| How? |
Americans
were not prepared for the war that broke out because of the lack of
government, a navy, and an army. George washington was appointed the
military officer. British, although much more powerful, had to ship all
supplies and troops over. Although they won many battles, they were
almost pointless and they did not gain much. After the Amercan win at
Saratoga, the French became involved and gave supplies and money much
needed to win. The British made the Treaty of Paris. |
