I seem to remember reading that the early American colonists didn't much like the principle of taxation without representation. \n\nThe US role as "the world police" is purely self appointed and purely in the interests of protecting the American Empire, which has at it's heart the protection of the American economy and globalisation.\n\nIf you bother reading a slight amount of world history, you will see that the US used to complain about us Brits doing exactly the thing.

==============================================\nThe American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence,[1] was a war between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies, who declared their independence as the United States of America in 1776.\n\nThe war was the culmination of the American Revolution, a colonial struggle against political and economic policies of the British Empire. The war eventually widened far beyond British North America; many Native Americans also fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where most of the population lived) largely eluded them. After an American victory at Saratoga in 1777, France, Spain, and the Netherlands entered the war against Great Britain. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States.\n\n\n==============================================\n\nA GOOD ONE ABOUT  Revolutionary War

The Americans were trying to overthrow a government that refused to allow the people equal representation in parliament. \nThe French were trying to overthrow a government that refused to allow the people equal representation in parliament.\nSound familiar?

Couple of reasons.\n\nFirst, we had closer economic ties to Great Britain.\n\nSecond, Great Britain and France had a better propaganda machine, and made US citizens think of the war in terms of the evil German Empire versus the noble French and English democracies.\n\nThird, the Germans eventually adopted unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917, which meant that civilian American ships carrying goods to Britain and France were sunk.\n\nFourth, also in early 1917 (January 16), the British interecepted a telegram from the German Empire to the German ambassador in Mexico saying that if Mexico would declare war on theside of Germany and attack the US, they would be rewarded with the return of the terrority Mexico lost in the Mexican-American War. The British promptly gave this information to the US, and combined with the sinking of American ships by German subs, this caused the entry of the US into WWI on the side of the Allies.

The steps leading up to the war and their consequences are as follows:\n1. Proclomation of 1763 which prohibited the colonist from living west of the Appalachian Mts.-made the colonist mad and many disregarded the proclomation.\n2. Britain raising taxes on the colonist to help defray the costs of the French and Indian War-the colonist protested and refused to pay the taxes.\n3. Boston Massacre in 1770 which was used as American propoganda against the British when in fact it was a large crowd threatening a small group of British soldiers who either fired accidently or out of fear for their lives\n4. Quartering of British soldiers in colonists homes-caused great resentment against the British.\n5. Boston Tea Party in which colonist threw tea into Boston Harbor to protest the monopoly given the British East India Trading Company causing the British to pass the Coercive Acts which severly punished Boston.\n6.  To show support for the Mass. colony all of the colonies except one met at the first Continental Congress and authorized colonies to raise militias, and to boycott British tea.\n7. Lexington and Concord April 1775-British troops attempted to capture Sam Adams and a store of arms and powder at Concord, Mass.  The British were met at Lexington, Mass. on April 19th by a small group of "minute men", resulting in the death of several colonist.\n8. Second Continental Congress-creates an army and names George Washington as commander.\n9. Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

Congress hold the purse strings.  A big problem for George's war.

Cause France and Britain were fighting at the time and Britain was blockading our trade with France and kidnapping Our sailors and forcing them into the British Navy to Fight. USA declared war on British and the British Burned down DC, and teh President had to abandon the Capital, the only time in Hirstory that happened, Then in Baltimore they heard what happened in DC and the British were heading their to destroy the port of Baltimore, but Baltimorons were not afraid to fight and repelled the British afetr setting up defensive positions

As an American I have to add that I believe it is better for the American people that the British government  to be more leery in their support of American government.  When your government doesn't openly question my government, American and British citizens both lose.\n\nLet's face it, we have fought together in many battles, we have pledge our lives to protect each other...why can't we disagree on some issues?  Wouldn't disagreement on some issues be more healthy?

One of the fine points people fail to realize is that setting up a democracy is hard.  Really hard.  Just look at the United States: it took nine years as an ineffectual confederacy, seventy years of political ambiguity over regional over federal authority, many terrible compromises, and a civil war--that to most experts--that is considered the bloodiest civil war ever to be fought to get all the kinks out for us; and we originated the idea of modern democracy!  No, democracy--like any other idea system--should not be "pushed" on anyone unprepared.\n\nIf we was to be serious about seeding the idea of democracy, I think the following prerequisites would be required:\n1) A strong, charismatic, modest leader.  In the United States, we had George Washington, the general who led the Revolutionary Army (with the help of the French) to victory over the British.  His modesty and confidence in his cause was so great that he turned down dominion over the land he just fought for when the American kingship was offered to him, and this act helped to sway the people and give them faith.  To this date, George Washington is the only President to be unanimously elected and reelected to office.  Without his cult of personality and his humanity to turn down power when offered, the United States as is it known now would not have happened.\n2) A strong tradition of law and representational government.  Even though the United States is the first federal democracy, it is directly based on the principles of the British Parliament and British Common Law.  It is doubtful if the colonists would have accepted the new government if it didn't bear a resemblance to something they already knew.\n3) A desperate need to trust your own countrymen.  In the years following the Revolution, there was a real fear--that was well founded--that England sought to recapture the States and its resources and regroup it with its holdings in Canada.  The only way the former colonies would survive is together, even though the Southern States hated the Northern States' banking economy, the Northern States hated the Southern States use of slavery, etc., etc..\n4) A homogenized populace...at least originally.  Originally, the voting populace in America was white, Protestant Anglo-Saxon (or Western European) men; it would be daunting to face how a viable compromise could be made if multiple ethnicity's, both genders, and different perspective on religion and personal liberties had to be factor in at the same time the balance between the states and the federal government had to be hammered out.  Finally,\n5) A will to do it.  If England was the one that forced democracy on the colonies, it would have failed--it would have been an idea that the colonists did not want and was resistant to.  Revolutions of this type have to be bred from the inside, among the populace itself; it has to be the people's idea.\n\nI hope that helps.

1.  The logic used to go to war in Iraq (WMD, Inspectors, UN, etc.)\n2.  Using 9/11 to polarize the country rather than bring it together\n3.  Not being fiscally responsible

Back in the seventeen hundreds we were being bled dry by England. Was war a bad idea ?\n  In the eighteen hundreds half of our country wanted to break away and form a country of their own .Was war a bad idea to keep the country together ?\n  Wars aren't fought just people enjoy killing each other.

This is ridiculous.  There have been times when the US has got itself involved in armed conflicts that Britain started (not least two world wars) and also times when Britain has got involved in conflicts at the behest of America.  The two countries are very close allies and the current anti-Americanism in Britain is very worrying.\n\nIf we weren't so closely allied to our great transatlantic ally, I think we would quickly end up being just one state in the United States of Europe, which would be a tragedy.

Poland sent us Thaddeus Kosciusko, he was a General.  There's a statue to him at the US Military Academy at West Point.\n\nFrance sent us LaFayette.  He became like a son to General George Washington.  LaFayette gave Washington a key to the Bastille.  The key is on the wall at Mount Vernon, Washington's home.\n\nThe British used German Troops and the US countered by using German-American Troops.

The extent to which we satisfied our objectives was less than satisfactory.  We did put a halt to German submarine aggression in the North Atlantic, but Wilson's goals of forming a working League of Nations and having the US as a charter member were only partially realized.  The Leauge was formed, but the US Congress failed to adopt the Leaue's charter.  On the bright side, the US exited the war with relatively few casualties and its economic and physical infrastructures intact.  We had established ourselves as a super power.

England has Chamberlain in the 1930's, he was the one that declared peace in our time after making deals with Hitler. England let its guard down arfter being led into a false peace. \n\nChamberlain was the worst UK Prime Minister ever....even the English will tell you that.\n\nWarren Harding and Herbert Hoover were the worst US presidents ever.\n\nHarding and his cabinet was very corrupt(the Teapot dome scandal). Hoover did little to ease the pain of the depression.
