Three ways WW1 went from being a localized European conflict to a global one:
The declaration of war by Britain in 1914 brought the Commonwealth into the war involving far-away countries like Canada and Australia and India.
One method used by the Germans to defeat Britain was sea blockade; by the German High Seas Fleet at the beginning of the war then with submarines later... this was counters by the British Home Fleet based at Scapa Flow. By trying to cut off goods being sent to Britain the war was fought at sea also in the Channel and in the Atlantic.
Neutral countries like the USA joining later in the war in 1917 make WW1 an even bigger global conflict.
A forth way is how the British, French and Germans all had colonies in Africa - and fought each other there also.
Hope that helps :)
George Washington was the<u> American military leader responsible for the defeat of the British in the American Revolution.</u> He was the first president of the United States of America, considered the “Father of the Nation”. He chaired the convention that drafted the “Constitution”. The country's Federal Capital was named after him.
In the year 1765, the British Parliament passed the “Stamp Law”, which established the obligation of English stamps on all documents circulating in the colony. The proceeds were intended to sponsor British military forces. The law generated immediate dissatisfaction among the settlers and Washington took the lead to overturn the English measure.
As a great landowner and skilled negotiator, he moderately articulated himself against British taxes and laws applied in the colony.
This question is probably connected to a story in whatever class your in but speaking for my immigrant parents.
They were probably scared crossing and getting caught being here. Keep in mind that many immigrants come here because this country is full of opportunities for a better for people’s future generations. Wherever they came from was keeping them away from that.
