Sovereignty and independence from the British Empire.
Americans usually call the war for its independence, "The American Revolution". British usually call it "The War of American Independence". Both names are useful in finding sources for research.
Yes after it declared independence and had a war then it split away from the british colony
Admiral Elmo Zumwalt Jr.
The years of 1780 and 1781 during the War of Independence saw the largest British Victory and also the end of the war. British troops captured South Carolina during 1780 but ultimately lost the war in 1781.
They are NOT the same. However Civil war may pave way for Independence like Bangladesh. And civil war may not lead to independence at all. After Independence civil war may happen like US of America, which did not result in another spell of Independence. The American War of Independence in 1775 was a civil war. The colonists were British just as much as the British in Barbados or the Isle of Wight. The only became "Americans" after they had gained their independence and been recognised as a new country.
There were several Admirals during the Pacific Theater actions in World War 2. Admiral Halsey, Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Spruance, and others. They were the top Admirals.
Admiral John Tovey was the Admiral of the Fleet in the Atlantic during World War 2. He served in the Royal Navy. He retired after the war ended. Admiral Ernest J. King was assigned Fleet Commander of the Fleet for the United States once the US entered the war. They did not have one Admiral to control the fleets of the Allies as they did for the land forces.
No - though they share the same last name, they weren't related.
A Vice Admiral outranks a Rear Admiral. An Admiral is the highest peace time rank. Fleet Admiral is the highest during war.
It didn't exist. The British ruled America, so if you mean the British Navy, it was the biggest in the world. The American rebels had some pirates/privateers however, in the war of Independence.
No US president was ever in prison as a criminal. Andrew Jackson was a prisoner of war as a boy of 13 after he was captured by the British in the war for independence.
