Distance produces beauty, this is life, this is the old saying, this is the ordinary people’s view of things! But when this sentence is applied to national and regional relations, especially between colonies and suzerain countries, the situation in the world undergoes strange changes!
Seven Years War
1775 Britain just ended its 7 Years War. Although it won the victory, Industrial Revolution has not yet entered the official period. France is still the most powerful country in the mainland, and its former maritime overlord is still glorious! As the country of , such a British country, not only cannot bring more security and resources to the colonies, but instead continues to suck blood and continuously strengthen its ability to suck blood. So in this faraway place, the positive influence of Britain was blocked and the independence movement began!
With the gunshots of Lexington in , the world began to change wonderfully! A new place begins to be favored by the world!
Looking back at the history of human development, human beings first rose in Africa, and later achieved glory in Asia to create immortal civilizations. However, civilization did not seize its own opportunity and did not make a successful leap. Instead, it was in the wilderness of Europe. Taking the industrial revolution as an opportunity, civilization began to leap, and the center of the world came to Europe! The same story continues to take place.
When the old continent could not fully lead the world to continue to develop, the new continent began to be favored by the world. The sentence "Thirty years, the east, the west, the west, the east, the west."
Declaration of Independence
When the second continental conference George Washington issued the Declaration of Independence, he would never have thought that a group of fugitives like them, a group of businessmen who are unwilling to pay taxes and ordinary people will become a new option in the future world.
But rebirth is rebirth. After the seedlings are planted, they are likely to grow into towering trees! Especially in such a fertile land, it is difficult to have great intervention without external forces! On this new world, the favor of the world begins to cover.
When George Washington, a rich widow enthusiast, the publisher of the newly established country's Declaration of Independence, the highest military commander of the newly established country (although he was just an ordinary officer of the second-rate colonial army before he retired, he had the wife of a rich widow), the military talent of the new commander-in-chief was constantly inspired in the failures of the war against Britain again and again. Although the troops under his command were almost wiped out several times. But he still persevered!
There is no regret in fighting for the dragon, either success or death! This is a tradition in China. The same is true for the American War of Independence . When this group of merchants who hoped to be exempted from taxes began their rebellion in this colony far away from their motherland, they had no choice but to succeed.
But they were lucky. They were far away from the insufficient place of local British military power. In addition, the previous seven years of war, Britain's vitality has not recovered. In addition, George Washington, who has been defeated repeatedly, fought repeatedly and fought repeatedly, and was persistent in spirit. So they persevered!
Washington was lucky because the War of Independence kidnapped all participants. After the war began, all the merchants who were tax-free could only support him with all their might. Even if he was defeated many times, it was in the defeat and persistence that the opponents of the Sect Master discovered his extraordinaryness and began to help him. So his army began to become more professional, and victory slowly came!
Today, it is hard for us to imagine how such a strange man who chose a rich widow with a child as his wife for the sake of glory and wealth (perhaps love), and did not have his own children, persisted in failures again and again.
Because according to his marriage choice, he should be cowardly. In order to live a wealthy life, he can tolerate many things that ordinary people cannot tolerate - a playboy without descendants. But he just persevered and wrote the legend of his life.
