The Struggles of the American Revolution

Since the 17th century, one of the main concepts of Britain, France, Spain at the time was Mercantilism. These were the three most powerful and most blooming countries at the time. From the early 16th century, these three countries will soon compete for new lands. Only one country can win. Despite its success, there is a possibility that even the strongest one will be the weakest. This is pursuit of wealth and convenient products. All three countries want to develop colonies from which they can access natural resources and bring them back home.

The standard theory on the origin of the nation-state in the 19th century is controversial. One of the problems is that the South American independence struggle and the American independence revolution are earlier than most European nationalists. Several countries like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom seem to have a clear national identity before the 19th century. By the end of the nineteenth century, nationalistic ideas began to spread to Asia. In India, nationalism began calling for the call for the abolition of British rule. Many other leaders were involved, but Indian nationalist movement in the 20th century was usually related to Mahatma Gandhi. In China, nationalism influenced the revolution of 1911. In Japan, nationalism and Japanese "exceptionalism" influenced Japanese imperialism.

For the most part of the 19th century, serious historians regarded the American Revolution as a grand story of idealism, nationalism, progress. This magnificent story explains the revolution as a struggle for freedom, retrograde, corruption and moral bankruptcy between modern power (America) and the old world (UK). Needless to say, this view is unilateral. These early history belonged entirely to Whigg School. Historians see history, especially the American Revolution, as a journey of progress and progress. The Whig Party believes that human society is improving, moving towards political and social realization, and the United States is at the forefront of this progress.

Historians are actively discussing how American revolution contributed to democracy. Some people think that the revolution is a struggle for autonomy and others believe that this is a class struggle that occurred in violence. Regardless of its origins and the factors of some competition and cooperation that produced it, the American Revolutionary War actually produced a new democracy. Of course, the concept of government's power from Thomas Jefferson's "all equal" and "consent of control" in the Declaration of Independence is an ideal of revolutionary democracy. However, in more than 10 years 1789, the constitutional approval of the United States was officially born. Without the Constitution guaranteeing the protection of the people's rights and the restrictions on the state, democracy originally created the "declaration" that existed only in rhetoric.
