Yep, it's history. Revolutionary War, a big thing not only to the USA, but also the world. Historians say that the Revolutionary War showed the world that it was possible to topple even the most powerful government. At the time, the USA was just 13 colonies on the east coast with a militia, not yet an army (until the Declaration of Independence), against England, probably one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time. But we're not on that, we're asking, who started it?
Who started the Revolutionary War?
If you don't know, it began at the Battle of Lexington and Concord. About 700 Redcoats (British) led by Francis Smith were sent to Concord to take back some military supplies reportedly seen there. The Minutemen (USA) found out weeks before and the night before, a la Paul Revere. Needless to say, it was 400 Redcoats vs. 77 Minutemen. And than they were face to face, the Earth was silent. All of the eyes of the world were on that single field of earth, and all of them waited silently... Until one musket was fired, and one man who shot it. This man began my homeland's and The Revolutionary War.
But who was it and why (write why you believe your choice started it):
A.The British, wanting their subject of the colonies to follow them?
B.The Minutemen, who were tired of the British crown's treatment of the colonials?
C.an unwitting Native American, who was hunting for game and got lucky near Concord whose shot happened to be heard by those two factions?
Or D. Some sinister third party who had big plans for the US...but who? And for what? (Abstergo? Illuminati? Nazis? A really, really, REALLY dumb Doctor Who?)
Or possibly E. The godless Belgians, who wanted America all to themselves and thought that if a war was provoked between America and the British, no one would be left to challenge their claims to America.
Please, all stereotypes aside. This is real, this isn't time for some kind of US vs. UK theme. It's YOUR opinion, that YOU made using what YOU know of both sides at that time and the tension between them, not about how the US stereotype is guns&money and The UK stereotype is fish&chips(or isn't i don't know what a stereotypical Englishman or Scottish(thank you for correcting me GBlair88) might be). Use your head, someone put it there for a reason.
