Why did the Thirteen British Colonies become an Independent nation?​

History

DochEvi [55]3 years ago

In 1774 the First Philadelphia Congress was held, in which the settlers drafted a document protesting the intolerable laws and sent them to the English. However, the government did not give in, and on July 4, 1776, the Second Philadelphia Congress took place, in which the colonists broke with the English, proclaiming their independence, with George Washington as the leader of the troops. England once again did not give in and the War of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies began. With French support, the colonies won in 1781 and their independence was recognized in 1783.

In 1787, a constitutional charter was enacted, which made the country a Presidential Federative Republic, with George Washington as its first president; it ensured civil rights and freedom and divided power into executive, legislative and judiciary. However, this freedom was relative, as slavery continued, women did not have the same rights as men, and Indians continued to be driven from their lands.

Even with their independence, the colonies continued to diverge in politics and economics, leading to conflicts that led to the Civil War.

lora16 [44]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>The two things He did was he affirmed the building of iron curtain by soviet and that the Europe would be against it.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

In his Iron Curtain speech, Winston Churchill affirmed his wish to side with the United States against the Soviet Union  and his belief that only the United States possessed nuclear weapons.

Winston Churchill used the Iron Curtain expression to refer to the border, not only physical but also ideological, that divided Europe into two blocks after World War II. Churchill popularized the term at a conference in the United States in 1946, when he said:

"From Stettin, in the Baltic, to Trieste, in the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has fallen on the continent"

<em>The frontier of which Churchill spoke divided the socialist states, headed politically, economically and militarily by the Soviet Union, and the capitalist states, aligned with the United States.</em>
