"I would like to speak about the topic Turning points in American history. First I will say some info about the first inhabitants and first Europeans in America, then I will mention the War for Independence and A Civil War. I’d like to end with World Wars and modern history.
Should I speak about the first inhabitants, I’d firstly mention Indians, now called as Native Americans. They came about 40 000 thousand years ago from Asia and they crossed the Bering Strait. Much more years later- about the year 1000-the Vikings discovered American continent. They were the first Europeans that saw this continent. After that, Columbus landed on Bahamas in 1492. That was the start of the European colonization of the America.
In addition, I’d like to say few words about the War for Independence. 13 American colonies were under the rule of the British government. The government increased taxes, however, the colonists didn’t want to pay it, so the British soldiers were sent to Boston and there was the first conflict. Colonists dressed up as Indians and threw all the British tea into Boston Harbour. This event is known as the Boston Tea Party. The war itself began in 1775. On 4 July 1776, the colonists declared their independence from Britain and the United States of America was founded. The first president of US was George Washington."
