The Second Continental Congress, convened in May 1775, made several crucial decisions in response to escalating tensions with Britain. It established the Continental Army, appointing George Washington as its commander, and began to manage the war effort against British forces. Additionally, the Congress issued the Olive Branch Petition in July 1775, seeking to reconcile with Britain, but ultimately moved towards declaring independence, culminating in the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in July 1776.
