American Revolution as such was a real war that had its origins in the
mercantile and tax prohibitions, which the British demanded from their
colonies in America. The
reasons why the 13 colonies became independent was because they sought
to have political and economic independence, and was achieved through
years of war against Britain. The
revolution in India was in another sense a struggle, more as a civil
and ideological movement, than war itself, because the British Empire
had its military forces involved in the Second World War, and the great
civil resistance of the Hindus, commanding the Gandhi, it was a political and religious struggle. While
a man like Washington won by military strategies, Gandhi won by the
union of the Hindu people, and the faith that all the Indians had in
him. The
problems after obtaining freedom were due, in large part, to the many
castes and peoples with different ideas and ethnic origins in India; whereas, in America, the dominant force was of European and English origin, with ideas, religion and common goals. <span>Gandhi
was accused of dividing India with his revolution, which led to his
assassination, while Thomas Jefferson and George Washington are seen by
all Americans as heroes, as the 13 Colonies shared the same ideals and
desires.</span></span>
The United States finally decided to join the World War I on side of the Allies mainly because of the following 2 reasons:
* The first one was the proposal made to Mexico in order to join the war against the allies, which meant the war was getting closer to American land.
* The second one was the German submarine attacks on American merchant ships.
After these two events took place, Woodrow Wilson the American president at the time talked to the Congress and requested it to declare war on Germany. And finally the Congress declared the war on April 6th, 1917.
