Revolutionary war
The war most American schoolkids have continuously hammered into their brains, without really understanding.In brief and colloquial terms for slow-witted teens:Colonists were pretty pissed off at mama-san Britain for the policies she created after the French & Indian War, so toss in a shitload of taxes and acts, and you've got even more rage. Colonists start getting bratty in regards to
paying the taxes and obeying the acts they see as unfair, and British throw even more at the bastards, without warning. Now REALLY angry, colonists start banding together thus boycotts and protests (think Boston Tea Party) erupt.
Thomas Paine steps in with "Common Sense" and says "Hey, colonial dudes, independence from the Brits = pretty sweet idea." At first people call him insane, but soon enough THE WAR BEGINS. Yada yada Loyalists and Patriots yada George III. Ben Franklin goes to France and gets them to help the colonists out. Brits first seem to take the lead. Colonists eventually regain strength and topple Brits in the end. July 4th, 1776 = Declaration of Independence, among other things, but hey man, THE WAR WAS STILL GOING ON WHEN THEY WROTE IT.
Articles of Confederation (American Constitution Sr.) is pretty much the nail in the Brit/Colonial connection coffin.Voilà. A new nation.note: I'm not a professor, so this of course is not some exact,
blow-by-blow description of the war.

Example:
America: ...You
wernt big enough *has a Revolutionary War and wins* I shall break away, and show you how big I can be.
England: Will you come back?
America: I shall, and I'll fuck you with it.
Years later,
England's sucking on America's 'Florida'

The revolution war was the one war that made Britain lose everything. It all started after the French and Indian War. The
colonists had no representatives or anything. So they fight the British and won 8 of 10 major battles that actually counted. France helped the colonists after they won the Battle of
Saratoga.

Yes, Britian won almost all of the battles, but they were defeated at the battles that actually meant anything. France helped yes, but in the end they gained nothing other than kicking britian in the dick. although this war could have been avoidable because it was started almost entirely because of
samuel adams. adams led a secret
groud that constantly tryed to
start a revolution, it is beilved adams or one of his men fired the first shot at lexington. Amusing.
Example:
Although this war could very well have been an english victory, they were
taking care of
the Napoleon wars. Thus causing
britian to lose this war.
