Patriot officers threatened not to disband after the war ended due to concerns over unpaid salaries, lack of pensions, and the perceived failure of Congress to address their grievances. They feared that without military backing, their sacrifices during the war would be forgotten, and they would be left vulnerable to economic instability and potential tyranny. This unrest highlighted the broader issues of governance and the challenges faced by the fledgling United States in maintaining order and fulfilling promises to its military personnel.
Washington ended the threat of American soldiers refusing to disband by addressing their grievances and demonstrating strong leadership. He understood the soldiers' frustrations over unpaid wages and lack of support, so he advocated for their concerns to Congress while also asserting the need for discipline and order. By emphasizing the importance of unity and the larger cause of the nation, he was able to persuade the troops to disband peacefully, ensuring a stable transition post-war. His actions helped to establish the precedent for civilian control over the military.
The patriot victory that effectively ended the American War of Independence was the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. American and French forces, led by General George Washington and General Rochambeau, surrounded British General Cornwallis's troops. The British surrender on October 19, 1781, marked a decisive turning point, leading to negotiations that ultimately resulted in the Treaty of Paris in 1783, formally recognizing American independence.
The IRA disbanded in 1923 after the civil war. The modern equivalents of the IRA such as the Provisional IRA decommissioned their arms and ended their service in 2005. Splinter groups like the Real IRA and Continuity IRA are still active, just about. But are not currently engaged in an armed campaign.
In 1653 Oliver Cromwell forced the Rump Parliament to disband and was made Lord Protector of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
Benjamin Franklin was a key American patriot who helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Alongside John Jay and Henry Laurens, he played a crucial role in securing American independence from British rule. The treaty officially ended the Revolutionary War and recognized the United States as a sovereign nation. Franklin's diplomatic skills and experience were instrumental in achieving favorable terms for the new nation.
