In this episode I take on the beginning of the American Revolution. This is first of two episodes on the American Revolution. The causes of the separation are varied and I begin as the 7 Years' War is winding down throughout the world in the year 1761. This episode covers the events and growing tension between Great Britain and the American Colonies from 1761-1770. Come back for part two to learn what spurred America to declare independence and exactly how the War of Independence was won.
