What were the short-term and long-term impact of the American revolution?

Answer 1

The American Revolution's most important short-term effect was the creation of a small but resourceful new nation in North America, with the corollary effect of shutting out the British from the richest portion of North American lands and resources. The long-term effects of the American Revolution are difficult to summarize cogently, as they have been so many and so important, such as the rise to super-power status of the United States in the 20th century and the gradual spread of American political ideals throughout the world.
