Years ago, after the discovery of the American continent, colonies from Europe were settled region

by region. Young George also lived in the Virginia area. Although he initially managed his family’s
farm, he later joined the military units.

He fought with the French for the British while in the military. He later got into politics. While dealing
with politics, they focused on some ideas with the society they were in. Most importantly, he no
longer wanted to fight for Britain, but to obey their rules and pay taxes. Because the rules and taxes
they were subject to were very heavy. They no longer wanted to be dependent on Britain. They were
of the opinion that they could be self-sufficient.

First of all, they exchanged ideas in the first congress to get along with the British. They tried to
decide on this issue. But because they could not find any middle ground with the British, they fought
in April 1775. Later, they made a more systematic plan. They chose George Washington as their
general. Then for a few years the British and the Americans fought. A few years later, George
Washington hired the French Marquis de Lafayette as a consultant. After a while, he became his most
reliable advisor. While fighting the British, the French came to aid the Americans. If the French
weren’t for help, the Americans would hardly have progressed. Because despite the cold winter
conditions, insufficient equipment, military fatigue were not enough to fight the British. They won
the war and declared their independence against the British.

Next was to establish the country systematically. Some statesmen asked who would be king, while
others were offering kingdom to George Washington. But George Washington argued that this
country needed a republic, not a kingdom. Thus, they created a new state with a modern
understanding of state. I think the best form of government is the state administration that favors
democracy. It is governed by democracy in many developed states in the world. In such a way, the
royal states could not resist this innovation and switched to semi-democratic regime and monarchy.
Although there are states ruled by monarchy now, the influence of royal families in these
administrations is less than fifty percent. It is mostly continued in touristic and cultural terms.
