I have no clue just press c
First of all, (just to clear this up) the conflict and tension between GB and the colonies was a lot more complex than 2 events. The ones I will name here are important, but take them more as a symbol of the breaking ties of GB and the colonies than the only 2 things that led to the American Revolution (aka take this answer with a grain of salt, it is too simple to be complete).
1) The Sugar Acts/Stamp Acts/Townsend Acts (1763-66): Following the French and Indian war (also known as the 7 years war) Britain had huge amounts of debt from fighting overseas. Many British were outraged that they had to pay the tax alone, because they believed the colonists were responsible for the war. So the British government did what it thought was right and taxed the colonists through 3 direct taxes. These taxes (named above) taxed sugar, paper goods, tea, paper, paint, some metals, and a variety of other things. Colonists were outraged that they were being directly taxed without representation in the British Government and rebelled by boycotting goods, and harming tax collectors, but one especially good example was the Boston tea party, in which Colonists dumped entire cases of British tea into the Boston Harbor to rebel against taxes.
2) Intolerable acts: As a result of the Boston Tea Party, Britain created a series of laws aimed at punishing the colonies for their rebellious behaviour. These were known as the Intolerable acts by colonists and included such things as closing down the Boston Harbor and requiring that the dumped tea be paid for. This was the last straw for many radical colonists, as they believed that their basic rights had been clearly infringed. These radicals used ideas from the Enlightenment to justify trying to sever ties with Great Britain.
1) why did you decide that standing in the snow would gain peoples forgiveness?
2) why (in that time) was it appropriate to excommunicate people?
3) what did you do to be excommunicated?
Answer:
With the failure of the so-called "Spring Offensive" on the western front.
Explanation:
Also called Kaiserschlacht (translated as "Battle of the Emperors" or "The Battle of the Kaiser", and referred to by the British as "The Great March Retreat"
it would be the last great offensive of the German army during the First World War in honor of the Kaiser William II. It lasted from March 21 to April 5, 1918, being the largest isolated attack of the entire war.
The main objective was to conquer the city of Amiens but after hard and long fighting, General Ludendorff gave up the battle and with it the necessary progress to stop the Allied troops.
Despite this setback, the Germans were very close to achieving their goal of giving the Allies a hard setback. The land gains were higher than all those made by British and French on the western front since the beginning of the war, reaching some points to deepen almost 60 km. The allies suffered about 250,000 casualties, including 90,000 captured British soldiers. For their part, the Germans also suffered a high number of casualties, 240,000.
It is possible that if Amiens had succeeded, the result of the offensive would have been completely different, but the truth is that Ludendorff had not realized the importance of this strategic point. Now the Germans, despite still having the initiative, were in a very vulnerable position.
