sure thing, comrade

I barely know the russian revolution that lead to the Soviet Union. All I know about that was that the majority was proletariat. Farmers, poor workers. But also the petty burgoise, and was lead by some academics. Am I rigt about that?
How did it go for the americans? The spanish? The french? Etc etc
I know Very little about all these. For the americans all i know was that t had a lot to do with taxation
there were a few things for the americans
Taxation, and a lack of local government representation
for one, it was felt that they had to defend themselves from indian raids and warring, so why are they paying for the empire? and also, the lack of voting rights, and also, the forcing of locals to host british troops
i think the last one was what finally tipped a lot of people over the edge
Not to mention being ruled over by some cunt they didnt even know 7,000 miles away
and also british soldiers stationed in the colonies, if they committed a crime they were whisked away to be tried in england
Where they were aquitted, ofc
yes
Because stinky colonial peasants
The start of the american revolution was throwing the tea in the harbor eight?
I believe thats as the catalyst to the test, is thats right?
Boston Massacre
THEN the other stuff
British troops fired on unarmed colonials who were protesting the imports tax
Oh!
And the whole revolution was done mostly by āthe proletariatā right? Farmers, inner city workers, etc? But also landowners?
I donāt know hiw the US looked at this time. Most were agricultural workers with their own land right? Or did most live in large cities?
Landowners funded it, proletariat carried it out
Till the french started giving us guns/training/artillery/loans
Mostly farmers/sharecroppers. Yeah
I see. Seems pretty sane.
You could completely avoid all forms of politics/policy just by riding a wagon 40 or 50 miles away from the major cities
Which is why lots of englishmen/women moved to the US to escape the nonsense of Europe
Were there any people who were the āleadersā of this, or was it just people banding together?
Ahhhh i understand
Banding together at first, till the continental army
When the colonies declared themselves impartial to british rule and cut ties with England
I see. So a large difference between this and the russians is that the landowners were on the workers side too
Did the americans have a large academic community at this time?
Ummm. I think so? Most of the founding fathers were well to do scholars/international businessmen/philosophers
Or ex military men
@MountainMan 90% of people would have been farm workers at that time tbh
probably similar in russia
Ahhhhh! Thank you @Tero
