Continental Army

The Continental Army was an army containing many world nations. The army was formed to fight against Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War. Various nations disliked the British. The idea of creating an army was pure genius. King George III wanted to keep fighting, but the prime minister didn’t. The British signed the Treaty of Peace with the United States in the year of 1782. In reality, the real peace resulted from the Treaty of Paris which gave the United States it’s independence.

The British were basically against the world. Nations in this army included: the United States (1775-1783), France (1778-1783), Spain (1779-1783), and Holland (1779-1783). Other nations joined the army, but did not participate in the actual fighting. The Continental army helped the United States “defeat” the British. I think that if this army had not been formed, the United States may have lost the war.
