Description
The Revolutionary War started as a conflict when the English colonists in the New World demanded better representation in the British Parliament. The First Continental Congress organized by the colonists in 1774 issued a statement seeking reconciliation with the British crown and led to a fierce war pitting the colonists against the British superpower. The colonists won the American War for Independence and set in motion a new way of thinking which encouraged ongoing reforms for women and minorities throughout Europe, changing the course of world history.
