struggle for american independ

Within the history of all nations there exist occasions which show a sense of nationalism by its citizens. These occasions show how people pull together to show or celebrate all of their pride for their nation. Some of these occasions mark a nations break from an oppressing country that may have had a hold on the smaller nation. Such an occasion was that of July 4th in the United States, which marks the break away from the English and their rule over all of the new settlers of the New World. Another such occasion in an Eastern European nation is that of the Velvet Revolution of 1989 in Czechoslovakia. This revolution marks the break away from the Soviet Communism by the Czechoslovakia citizens.

Comparisons of the revolutions in Czechoslovakia and in America enable us to look in some detail at their attempts to vanquish two of the strictest regimes in Eastern Europe and in Northern America . The events took them in opposing directions, yet united them in their hopes. These two countries, despite sharing the same objectives, are now remembered very differently.

The American war for independence can be dated back to times of the British victory in the French and Indian War. It had a great impact on the British Empire. Firstly, it meant a great expansion of British territorial claims in the New World. But the cost of the war had greatly enlarged Britain's debt. Moreover, the war generated substantial resenment towards the colonists among English leaders, who were not satisfied with the financial and military help they had received from the colonists during the war. All these factors combined to persuade many English leaders that the colonies needed a major reorganization and that the central authority should be in London. The English leaders set in motion plans to give London more control over the government of the colonies and these plans were eventually a big part of the colonial resentment towards British imperial policies that led to the American Revolution. The British got a sense of ruling their colonies effectively and the sense of imposing a strict and tight control. On the other hand, American colonies got a feeling of being no more dependent on Britain’s military aid, and the struggle for independence could have been started in the minds of most of the people.

The war had an equally profound but very different effect on the American colonists. First of all, the colonists had learned to unite against a common foe. Before the war, the thirteen colonies had found almost no common ground and they coexisted in mutual distrust. But now thay had seen that together they could be a power to be reckoned with. And the next common foe would be Britain.
