Night came quietly.Time passed while Long Ao and the others were chatting, and at this time they all entered into cultivation, and even those who did not practice fell asleep.

……

Nothing to say all night.At this time, people from the dragon group and people from other countries gathered together, because today there will be a four-in-two game, and the country's team leaders will draw lots here to determine their opponents.

"Third brother, who do you think our opponent will be this time?" Xing Hu quietly asked Zhu Zihong beside him.

"How do I know, but no matter who they are, they will be defeated by us. They are all the same, it's just a matter of later or sooner." Zhu Zihong said confidently, he must have sufficient confidence, no Speaking of Long Ao, the pervert, let's talk about him, Wu Xuan, and Xing Hu. Among the people who participated in the ability user competition, the strength of the three of them is also top-notch.

"It's a big breath, and I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue." At this time, a very annoying voice sounded.The voice sounds a bit awkward, definitely not Chinese.

Zhu Zihong and Xing Hu turned their heads and saw a white-skinned, blond-haired young man in his twenties with an arrogant expression looking at them with his nostrils upturned. The voice just now should be from his Out of the mouth.No wonder the words are so awkward.

"American? British?" Xing Hu asked.

"Listen clearly. I'm from the British Empire. The victory this time will definitely belong to our British Empire. Hurry up and admit defeat. It won't be good if the provincial government dies." The voice was still arrogant.

"So you're from the empire on which the sun never sets. I thought you were an American. You speak so arrogantly, it's not pleasing to the eye." Zhu Zihong said flatly.

"Hmph! Our British Empire has a history of thousands of years, unlike the United States, which only has a short history of a few hundred years. How can they compare with our British Empire?" The man heard that Zhu Zihong looked down on them. People, on the contrary, think highly of Americans, so they despise the United States.

Zhu Zihong also knows the history of the United States and Britain, and he also knows that this person is right.

More than 2 years ago, there was a group of vagrants from Asia who traveled to Central and South America via North America. These people were the ancestors of the Indians.

When Columbus discovered the New World, there were about 2 million Indians living in America, of which about 000 million lived in what is now Canada and the north-central United States, and most of the rest lived in what is now Mexico and the southern United States.About 100 years ago, another group of Asians immigrated to the northern part of North America. This is the later Eskimos.

The earliest Caucasians to America were probably the Vikings, a group of adventurous fishermen. Some people think that they visited the east coast of North America 1 years ago.Colonial Period (000~1607) In 1753, a colony group of about 1607 people was forced to return to England because of the cold. In 100, 1587 men, 91 women, and 17 children came and established the Zhan on Chesapeake Beach. Jamestown, the first permanent British colony in North America.

In the next 150 years, many colonists came and settled in the coastal areas, most of them came from Britain, and some came from France, Germany, Holland, Ireland and other countries. In the middle of the 18th century, 13 British colonies gradually formed, and they had their own governments and parliaments under the supreme sovereignty of the United Kingdom.

Due to the differences in climate and geographical environment of these 13 colonial areas, the differences in economic forms, political systems and concepts were caused.

In the early seventeenth century, England began to colonize North America.The original North American immigrants were mainly farmers who lost their land, workers who lived in hardship and Puritans who were persecuted by religion. In 1620, they took the "Mayflower" to North America and formulated the "Mayflower Convention" on board.Landing at Plymouth on November 11, the Puritans signed the Mayflower Covenant with 21 free men.The content is organizing citizen groups; formulating laws and regulations, etc.Lay the foundations of self-government.

In the colonial era, along with the long war with the Native American Indians in North America, the severe labor shortage produced unfree labor such as slaves and indentured slaves, while the British government's laissez-faire policy allowed the unique American spirit and culture to flourish. develop its uniqueness.The evil slave trade flourished in the United States.

From 1607 to 1733, British colonists successively established thirteen colonies on the east coast of North America (the Atlantic coast).because

[-]. British immigrants immigrated to North America in pursuit of freedom and wealth, such as the persecuted Puritans and poor farmers.

[-]. Local governments enjoy autonomy.

[-]. Colonial residents have more opportunities and rights to participate in politics than the British, and have cultivated the awareness and ability of self-government. Therefore, they believe that in the social contract, the government is formed only when the people need protection and support from the people.

In the mid-eighteenth century, the economy, culture, and politics of the colonies were relatively mature. The colonial parliaments still believed in King George III, but they pursued the same status as the British Parliament and did not want to become British second-class citizens. After the end of the 1775 war, the eagerness to consolidate the territory led to heavy taxes on the people of the North American colonies and King George III of England changed his laissez-faire policy and advocated high-handed means.As a result, the colonial people rebelled, such as the declaration of "No Taxation Without Representation", "Boston Massacre", "Intolerable Act" and so on.The "Shot of Lexington" was fired at Lexington and Concord in April 4, the prelude to the American Revolutionary War.Later, these colonies became the original thirteen states of the Thirteen Independent States of North America.

In the mid-18th century, there was a rift between the British colonies in America and Britain.

The expansion of the colony gave them a certain sense of persecution by Britain, and they had the idea of ​​independence.

In 1774, representatives from 12 states gathered in Philadelphia to hold the so-called First Continental Congress, hoping to find a reasonable way to resolve the issue peacefully with Britain. Accept punishment.

In 1775, the flames of war were ignited in Massachusetts. In May, the Second Continental Congress was held, which strengthened the determination of war and independence, and drafted the famous Declaration of Independence, and put forward sufficient reasons to fight this war, which is also the element of final victory. .
