The outbreak of the War of Independence was because British colonial oppression hindered the development of capitalist economy in North America. The British government continuously increased taxes on the colonies in North America, implemented a high-handed policy, and oppressed and brutally exploited the colonies. Britain hopes that North America will always be its raw material producing area and commodity market, and tries its best to suppress the economic development of the colonies and seek more wealth from them. The colonial people were dissatisfied with British exploitation and slavery, and the contradiction between the two sides became increasingly acute, which eventually led to the outbreak of war.

At that time, the capitalist economy of British North American colonies developed rapidly and became the mainstream of economic development. At the same time, there are also many backward economic components. After 100 years of development, the economic exchanges between British colonies in North America have become increasingly close, and a unified domestic market has initially formed. At the same time, in the process of long-term communication and integration, English has also changed from various colonies to the same language and gradually produced the same culture. On this basis, the American nation began to form. The national consciousness is gradually awakening. /kloc-In the first half of the 8th century, the Enlightenment spread in the British North American colonies, and some outstanding thinkers emerged, such as Franklin and Jefferson. The national and democratic consciousness of British North American colonies is increasing day by day. So the War of Independence finally broke out.

The outbreak of the American War of Independence promoted the modern bourgeois democratic revolution in continental Europe and Latin America. It ended British colonial rule, realized national independence, established a more democratic modern political system, and promoted the future revolutions in Europe and Latin America.

At first, the war mainly attacked British economic policies. Later, because France, Spain and the Netherlands joined the war against Britain, the scope of the war far exceeded Britain's North America. At the same time, many Indians fight for both sides. The American War of Independence did not solve the problem of land, nor did it solve the problem of slavery. After the independence of the United States, the north and the south developed into two different economic roads, which eventually led to the outbreak of the American Civil War.

The victory of the War of Independence freed the United States from British colonial rule, realized national independence and established a more democratic political system, which set an example for the national independence movement of the American people in Latin America and promoted the European revolution. 18th century. The declaration of independence, the constitution of 1787, and the new political system established by it, the separation of powers, are valuable legacies of human civilization.

The American War of Independence was the first large-scale colonial war for national independence in the history of the world. Its victory opened a huge gap in the British colonial system and set an example for the colonial national independence war in Latin America. It overthrew the British colonial rule and founded the first federal presidential country in the world-the United States of America.
