Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
American political thought emerged from Europe's beliefs and attitudes towards self rule. John Locke's theory of social contract served as an impetus to the movement regarding God-given rights to life, liberty, and property.
Long enshrined Colonial belief that people should govern themselves led to the call for independence in America. It draws inspiration from British empire but provides its own definition. The colonists were convinced that British Parliament is denying their natural rights that reduced their status as free men. American Revolution began with the desire to limit authoritarian government which is closely linked to the the idea of self governance.
Important events that led to American Revolution:
1) Imposition of Direct Taxes - Stamp Act (1765) and Townshend Acts (1767)
2) Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770- The resistance to British rule in the colony of Massachusetts that killed many Americans.
3) Coercive Acts 1774- abolished town meetings in Massachusetts to punish for the rebellion against the British crown.
4) First Continental Congress- created a unified resistance against the Colony.
5) Declaration of Independence, July 2, 1776- Congress declared American independence from Britain drafted by Thomas Jefferson
6) American Independence- the Declaration of Independence was signed on 4th July, 1776
I think it’s Connecticut Colony, the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Massachusetts Bay Colony, Plymouth Colony, and the Province of New Hampshire. (I hope this helps)
they wanted to go to war they were scared because there army was huge
Answer:
Doolittle Raid, Surprise attack on Tokyo by U.S. bombers in 1942 during World War II. After Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, U.S Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt demanded that the U.S. military find a way to strike back directly at Japan. The only possible method was with carrier-borne aircraft, but standard naval planes had too short a range; carriers launching them would have to sail dangerously close to Japan’s well-defended coast. A special unit of 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers, far larger than naval aircraft, was trained under Col. James Doolittle to take off from the carrier USS Hornet and drop their bombs on Japan and then fly on to land in an area of China controlled by the pro-Allied Nationalists. They took off successfully on April 18 and arrived over Japan in daylight. They succeeded in bombing almost all Japanese targets, most in Tokyo but also in Kōbe, Yokosuka, and Ōsaka. Thirteen B-25s reached Chinese-held territory; among the crews of these aircraft, there were three fatalities from accidents during bail-outs or crash landings. One plane landed in the Soviet Union, and its crew was interned by Soviet authorities. Two planes went down in Japanese-controlled territory, and the crews were captured. Three raiders were executed by the Japanese and one died in captivity; the remaining four remained prisoners of war until the conclusion of hostilities. Little damage resulted, but the raid was a boost to American morale at a low point in the war.
