What was the nature of the war between England and her North American colonies? Can this war be considered a form of bourgeois revolution?
From the point of view of the Thirteen Colonies, the war of the North American territories with the mother country was in the nature of a national liberation struggle, while the British would call it rather a “separatist mutiny” (which is essentially the same thing). We can talk about some form of civil war, since the peoples of the metropolis and the colonies were slightly different from each other.
Yes – you can. We know of an example when the war for independence grew into a bourgeois revolution – the Dutch Revolution. Bourgeois and commercial circles played an active role in the American Revolution, and in many ways the war was associated with the unfavorable economic conditions of British rule.
