American Revolutionary War - Wikipedia

Many scholars consider George Washington as the best revolutionary in world history.

Excellent American history share sir, have a great afternoon sir.

After the French & Indian War (1755-63), there were a lot of little things that had the British Government handled them differently, we would probably now be in the position of Canada, maybe part of the Commonwealth and acknowledging Queen Elizabeth as our monarch. For example, all George Washington wanted was a regular King's Commission as British officer, but he was spurned as a provincial. He was the key to the later American patriot victory, so you can imagine what might have happened had he been commissioned an officer in a British regiment and been deployed away from America with his unit. The British Parliament wanted to recoup the national treasure (lives, money and supplies) it had expended to defend its American colonies from the French, but it went about it arbitrarily and arrogantly (and this was no different from the way they treated the Scots, the Irish, the Welsh and other "foreigners"). Had it not tried to ram fund-raising schemes down the colonists throats and granted the colonies one Member of Parliament per colony, there probably would have been no revolution. Lord North was the British prime minister for most of this period and he had King George firmly in his pocket, so it is no wonder that the King was leading the band in its anti-colonial efforts, and was ultimately responsible for losing the colonies (i.e., the first British Empire). Had he and his Parliament gone about things a little differently, there may have been no United States.
