1. the people joining the american revolution were the english and french.
2. reasons for the AR are that the people were tired of doing what England told them to do and wanted their own freedom to do what they wanted. The revolution in the middle eat is happening because they also want freedom and democracy instead of a monarchy much like the AR.
3. the current revolutions in the middle east are happening in Iraq and surrounding areas.
4. The AR lead to the thirteen colonies becoming America, we became our own country. And the revolutions in the middle east hopefully end up the same, where the people are free and can do what they want.
5. yes i believe that America should help the middle east when it come down to fighting for freedom. America should be fighting because sometimes people cant do things for themselfs and others need to help. The U.S. isnt the only country helping the people of the middle east so obviously others think we should be there too.

1. George Washington and King george

2. The british Government tried to pass some laws but the colonies objected the laws and taxes. The rebels hold large parts of libya and it also started because of the nato bombings.

3. Tripoli,libya

4. They both are fighting for a piece of land but the rebels r taking control of libya and the british didn't take control of americans.

5. The united states should help the middle eastern countries because we can solve there problems and then have them be our allies and not our enemies.

1.The people joining the american revolution were the common people farmers and just almost everyone who wanted freedom and rights.

Both the revolutions are being lead by the natives of that country. One of the reasons for both revolutions is that the people are unhappy with their current leaders. The current revolutions are taking place in Lybia, Syria, and are beginning to spread. Both revolutions have resulted in war with the leaders not wanting to let go of what they think is theirs. The United States should only help the countries if they start having genocides a a result of either party involved in the actions. With that being said intervention should also occur if the country has the capabilities of striking the European or American countries in acts of mass murder. If neither of these occur the people need to take their country back and restart their country the way they want to so that they can fight for what they believe in and not get assistance from a foreign country that is likely to push their political regime on them after the fighting is over. They have to push their own regime into power, that is why they are revolting because someone has already pushed their regime upon them and if another country puts their regime into effect all those lives lost in revolt, all the innocents deaths who were caught in the cross-fire will be for nothing.

1.) a. Colonists, French, English Empire
b. U.S., Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Israel, Iraq,

2.) a. The American Revolution was caused by the English having unrelenting control on the Colonists by taxing them constantly. When the Colonists finally said enough was enough, and both sides met in Lexington, Massachusetts, the battles began with that one shot.
b. The Middle Eastern conflict was caused by 2 main things: THe attacks in the U.S. and religious intolerance in the south western Asian countries. After 9/11, the U.S., we chose to invade Iraq to takedown Saddam Hussein (took us a few years, but we got him). At the same time, the Al-Qaeda government was attacking the Jewish state of Israel because the Islamic extremists were not particularly fond of the Israelis.

3.) Currently, the U.S. has completed their mission in killing Osama bin Laden. However, we are still trying to get rid of the Al-Queda government within the Middle Eastern countries. Israel is still trying to protect themselves form bombings from both Iran and Lybia because they all want Israels "holy land" (because Jerusalem is their capital, they sit on the Holy Land that people have fought for for hundreds of years.)

4.) The outcome of the American Revolution was a full victory, while the conflict in the Middle East is still in effect and hasn't ended yet. However, both wars have been in favor of the American people.

5.) I believe we should. Yes, it means putting peoples lives on the line but you're protecting others in return. The U.S. is somewhat of a humanitarian country, meaning that we will go and aid allied countries if needed. We went to the Middle East to take out their government and not only protect our country and the ones around the Middle East, but also save the Islamic people from a tyrannic government and allow them to prosper. (Not to mention the fact that Pakistan is a nuclear state, and with their government in complete turmoil at the moment, this leaves their nuclear weapons a little more unguarded. leaving all around them in possible great danger.)

1) the people joining the American Revolution are the people from the middle east, they didnt agree upon our actions or the way our government had treated and enforced things. therefor the American Revolution started to show the government not to do things like this to people.
2) neither one agreed upon how the government ran things, so the people showed them that its the peoples decision.
3) Libya, syria yemen, bahrain, egypt, iraq, tunisia, jordan, saudi arabia and morocco.
4) were going through economical problems while there having government problems.
5) i'm not 100% sure because if we get involved there's a possibility that we can make friends with some but if we fight we could have more people hate us.

1.)The red coats and patriots were the one who joined the revolutionary war.

4.)american revolution compared to the middle Eastern is some what similar. we fought for freedom and legislative placement and now the middle east is doing the sam but the middle eastern war seems more horrid
5.) i think the us should but should not help because in order to help we need money and we are already in debt but then no one really deserves to suffer the way the middle east is

1-The people who joined the American revolution were those people who didn't want to be subjugated by the power of England. The people who are joining the Middle Eastern Revolutions are those citizens of several countries who can't accept to be under the power of a dictatorship.

2- The American Revolution started because the colonists wanted to gain the indipendence from England. The Middle East Revolutions started because the citizens want to gain freedom from a dictatorship.

3- Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, UAE, Yemen.

4- While the American Revolution began to gain indipendence from another country, the Middle Eastern Revolutions began to change the government and gain freedom.

5- I think that not only the USA Army, but the other countries too should help those countries. The Middle Eastern countries are in big troubles, if the war ends now, a lot of lifes will be saved.

1. The people joining the American revolution were the colonist in America, patriot type people versus the British army enforced by their harsh government.
The people joining the Middle Eastern Revolution were everyday people that wanted to protest against an unfair government.

2. The reasons for the American revolution was that the Americas wanted to become independent from mother England and have their own laws and choices and get out from under the tyrant like King who would push unwanted taxes and laws on the colonist.
The reasons for the Middle Eastern revolution was the want to protect against an unfair government who had a total disregard for their people.

3. The current revolutions occurring in the middle east is mainly in places like Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, etc.

4. The outcome of the American revolution was a free country without the taxes and laws coming in from another country and the Americas were now led by their own people.
The outcome of the middle East revolution was the death of many innocent protesters, the government they were protesting were openly shooting into crowds in an effort to take back the reins of its citizens but are still out there trying to get the dictator like leader to step down from power.

5. The United states should help in probably helping those that are injured during protest but I think actually going in there and fighting with the government is going to start an unnecessary war that will affect the Americans with more taxes. I think this is a situation where the people from the middle east need to handle their own.

1. The people joining the American Revolution were many of the Colonists, George Washington, and Ben Franklin.

2. The reason for the American Revolution was the Colonists wanted independence from England. They wanted their freedom. The Middle Eastern Revolutions reasons vary depending on where and what the cause is for. But many of them revolve around the disagreement of the government, and wanting it to change.

3. The current revolutions in the Middle Eastern are Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Bahrain are some of the few places.

4. The American Revolution was started because the people wanted to be free, and the Middle Eastern revolutions began with disagreements of the government. They are similar when it comes to the disagreement, but they didn't start for the same reasons.

5. I don't think that the US shouldn't help the Middle Eastern revolutions because our country is involved with enough world affairs.

1. Farmers and the common people were the ones that joined the american revolution.
2. The americans were tired of England pushing them around and telling them what to do, So the americans revolted against England. The war in the middle east is much like the AR because they also want freedom.
3. The war in the middle east are happening in iraq and places near iraq.

1.) Those who joined the American Revolution were unsettled citizens seeking change; Those who are joining the Middle Eastern Revolutions are likewise citizens who are outraged and seek change (Government wise)
2.) The reasons behind the American Revolution was to gain independence & sovereignty in order to benefit the previous colonies both economically as well as politicly. The middle eastern revolutions however are seeking to change the sometime decade long totalitarian-esq regimes however a majority of the time it seems they have no predetermined blue print for a self relying government.
3.) The areas within the middle east who are currently undergoing revolution are: Libya,Yemen, Syria,Bahrain,Egypt,Iraq,Tunisia,Jordan,Saudi Arabia and Morocco
4.)The outcome of the American revolution came the greatest nation on earth, The United States of America--where as the Middle East revolutions not as detailed in planning which on certain occasions leads to even worse governments/dictatorships under the guise of hope and change.
5.)Seeing the United States is the major world super being the number one provider of foreign aid in the world. I'd say we've essentially become the U.Ns "come to" for taking lead of both combat and peace operations. We've aided not only the Middle East but several other areas from coast to coast. This is the standard we uphold and represent for nations abroad.

the people in the american revolution and the middle east revolution are very much the same people. they are people with the need for freedom from their monarchy. their rights were being abused and they were getting little out of it. The causes of both revolutions were due to poor leadership of their "colonies" or country. They were and are trying to overthrow their government for the better of themselves as a group, at least in their opinion. the middle east revolution is taking place in Egypt. even though i feel that both revolutions have similarities, i think that the american revolution was better executed and was a war nonetheless but much more graceful. they middle east revolution looks like a lot of angry people, who are not thinking out a neat and well thought plan. i see the middle east affairs ended quite poorly. i believe that the middle east should not be helped by the united states, only because they simply have pushed themselves into too much of a mess all on their own.

The people joining the American revolution were American Patriots who no longer wanted England to rule. The people joining the Middle Eastern Revolutions are the men called Rebels who basically are following one person trying to take complete power with the use of Dictatorship.
The reasons for the American Revolution were that the British Government tried to enforce more laws, increase the taxes and to have more power over the colonies. But the colonies were just not having it. They soon revolted against them. The current revolutions are occurring in Libya, Syria, Egypt, Yemen, and Iraq and a few others. Basically the outcomes in the American Revolution was that America was soon formed after coming out of power from England for the better. I think the outcome from the Middle east is that soon the other countries will realize that the change could be for the worst, and therefor will do their best to try and stop the revolution from going any further and turning into something not wanted or needed.
I think the U.S should help because being a country with our kind of power, we need to put it to better use and help our fellow countries gain their own power. Once they gain their own power back, they will themselves be able to look out for themselves and fend off enemies on their own.

1. The people joining the American Revolution were the American Patriots, British soldiers, and the french. The people who joined the Middle Eastern Revolution were civilians and common people.

2. The American revolution was fought because the colonist were tired of being told what to do by a nation that was 3,400 miles away. The Middle Eastern revolution is being fought because the people are tired of a corrupt government.

3. Egypt, Libya

4. The American Revolution ended in the colonists finally having independence and their own country. The Middle Eastern revolution will hopefully turn out the same where the people can govern their own country.

5. The U.S. should not help the Middle Eastern countries because we have our own problems to worry about and they middle east needs to learn how to figure things out for themselves.

4.In effect of the American Revolution, the 13 Colonies became America. W can only hope that the revolutions going on today end in peace and freedom.

5. No i don't think America should help the middle east for fighting for their peace. They can fight their own fights and we shouldn't get involved or it could be bad for us.

People involved in the revolutions were American citizens and British Soldiers. The revolutions in the middle east consist of the people fighting against the government. The reason for the middle eastern revolutions is because the government is killing their people and bombing them. For the american revolution, the reason it started was because of colonial distress. In other words, the people were not happy! The outcome of the american revolution was that Britain recognized americas independence and the treaty of paris ended the actual revolution. As for the middle eastern revolution, it is still going on but the president of Egypt resigned allowing the vice president to become president making the situation over there a lot calmer. The united states should help out the middle east because not only is it nice to have an extra ally but we'd be helping a ton of people!

1. a) It wasn't so much the average person as it was the Columbus and all the politicians. The politicians believed since they were so far from the Mother Land that they could do what ever they want. So, they tried to create their own Government.
b) Most of the people that fought in the Middle Eastern Revolutions were the very poor and average every day male.

2. a) The reason for the American Revolution was to make the 13 colonies become independent from the Mother Land. America want to have its own independent government.
b) The reason for the Middle Eastern Revolution is to obtain their own government and to rid their countries of American control.

3. The current middle eastern revolutions are taking place in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait.

4. The American Revolution had led to the 13 colonies and our own Government. So , hopefully the Middle Eastern Revolution ends up the same, so they can govern themselves instead of the U.S. having to waste so much money to keep troops their to keep them in order.

5. No, they are their own countries with their own armies. So , why should we take the chance in fighting with them when they have the ability to do so by themselves. The fact there is no stable government is not our problem. The chaos can cause a person of their own country to step in and take action. Therefore the U.S. should not interfere and let the countries fight for themselves.

1) a) People in the American Revolution were colonist who opposed King George.

b) Those in the Middle Eastern Revolution were those who opposed their state law/rulers.

2)The American Revolution as well as the Middle East Revolutions were fought based off the neglect from their superiors and their need for independence and freedom.

3)Lybia, Syria, Iraq etc.

4)The American Revolution ended in success and therefore we became a free country. The Middle Eastern revolutions however, are still in effect and have not yet come to a conclusion.

5) It all depends on whether or not we gain anything beneficial from entering into foreign affairs. We as a country need to decide if we want to send off our men and soldiers to an affair that doesn't directly affect us.

1- The people who joined either revolutions were the natives of the surrounding area and fellow allies. And in the middle east the people fighting are mainly the natives of their country.

2- The cause for the American Revolution was that there was a mass growth of colonial unhappiness and in the Middle East, their government has chosen to imprison people and kill them.

3- The current Revolutions are being held in Iraq and Egypt.

4- The American Revolution i believe was less bloody as the Middle Eastern revolution.

5- Yes/no because helping others will help us be allies but its cost a lot to help other countries and lives.

1. The people who were fighting in the war were the people were the commoners. Mainly the lower and middle classes. The people who wanted to fight for their countries freedom.
2. The purpose for the America Revolution was to break away from Britain's rule. The 13 colonies were tired of living under Britain's eye. They wanted freedom. The Middle Eastern Revolutions were revolts against their leaders. They also wanted their freedom. The didn't like the rule they were under. They wanted t change it.
3. The current Middle Eastern revolution is the war in Iraq.
4. After the Revolutions in America we finally got our freedom. We are are considered a free country. The Middle Eastern Countries are not. However, many of the Middle Eastern countries are no longer under monarchy rule and neither is America.
5.I don't believe the United States should help other countries fight. After a while it doesn't become us just helping, but it becomes war on us too. I do believe that there are some exceptions, but sometimes I wish we were just a neutral country like Switzerland.

1.Our revolution was between the colonists and the British Monarchy, in the middle east ti is between the Sunnite and the Shiite(radicals) groups.
2.The American revolution was for freedom form the British who were controlling us and telling us what to do even though we were doing just fine on out own, The revolutions in the middle east are due to the leaders of the area getting fat while the regular people are barely getting by, without our involvement in Libya, they would not have succeeded.
3.One revolution that is just calming down is the Libyan rebels against the Gaddafi regime, now Gaddafi is challenging bin Ladin hide and seek record.
4.The out comes of the American revolution and the middle east revolution are, we think, going the way they should be, the people wanted to change the government and the kicked out the bad guy.
5.As long as we don't end up arming the local military enough to take us on, then i see no problem in crushing communism.

4. When the American Revolution ended the United States was born. However, the Middle Eastern Revolutions haven't ended yet so there is no outcome to them.

The people that join the Revolution War were the English and French and some of them were pretty much regular people that wanted their freedom over England.The American Revolution and the Middle Eastern Revolution happen in different places.Cause of this Revolution we became our own country giving us our freedom and will to do things.I don't know for sure but I'm guessing the outcome for both Revolution were the same gaining freedom...I hope.I think the U.S. should help the Middle Eastern countries depending on the situation.

1. The people who fought in the revolutionary war were the Americans, French and the English.

2. The reasons for the American Revolution are the americans wanted no taxes and they wanted freedom from their government. The reasons for the Middle Eastern Revolution are they want a democracy instead of a monarchy.

3. The revolutions in the middle east are in Iraq, Lybia, and many surrounding countries.

4. The American Revolution happened because the English were trying to make the colonies listen even if they were thousands of miles away. The middle east revolutions are happening because they want to change their form of government.

5. The United States shouldn't help the middle eastern revolution because that could lead towards a third world war. Other countries that are not democratic could look at that as a sign that if the U.S. are helping the revolution then it could be a matter of time before they will have to change their government.

Well the american revolution was nessecery for their freedom and right to be happy and it insured that laws were still to be followed and as for the middle eastern revolution I dont know much(anything) about what happened there but when a nation is formed a figurative map must be formed to keep everyone safe.

The concern in the points that it may not work out perfectly with no blood shed and no lives lost is imposible but it musst happen for the good of their nation and her interest.

The people joining the American Revolution were the colonist that thought British rule over the colonies was unfair. the reasons for the American Revolution were; unfair taxes, British soldiers sleeping in colonists homes even though they were not welcome, strict rules and policies, and that the colonists were given hardly any freedom
The reasons for the Middle East Revolutions are slightly for the same reasons. The people of these countries have no say in there government and have asked for change too many times to just stand by and watch their government run lives of many innocent, hard working civilians.The American Revolution ended in a success after several battles on colonist soil. On the other hand the Revolutions in the Middle East is being handled differently. The Revolutionaries are planing violent attacks on there government as well as protesting. I don't believe that the United States should help because we have enough problems of our own right now. i believe we should suspend military activity for awhile and focus on our homeland.

1.) The American Rev. was fought by the Americans and the British lobster backs. The people joining the Middle East Rev. are, U.S.A, Afghanistan, and Iraq (And I'm sure theirs more).
2.) The reasons for the American Revolution was the the Americans left Britain for a reason and then they get to America and the king is still trying to control them and they don't like it. The Middle East Rev. is going on because Iraq was under bad leadership and we were trying to help them out of it.
3.) Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Iran (and others).
4.) The outcome of the American Rev. was we gained our freedom and the outcome of the Middle East though there hasn't necessarily happened yet would be the other countries freedom. We don't really gain anything beside knowing we helped.
5.) I honestly don't know what my opinion on this war would be. I think its great we are helping other countries, but we should help ourselves get out of debt before we get into more. But i do think it is a really good thing we are doing for them i just hope when its over we aren't to much more over our heads in debt that we can't get out...

The people joining the war for the American Revolution was the British and the Americans the colonies wanted to break free from England. And in the Middle Eastern was about all the middle eastern states like Arabia.The reason for the American Revolution was for breaking free from taxes in the Great Britian. The reason for the Eastern war was for bombing NATO.The current place that the wars in the eastern part of the world is iran and iraq. Which the U.s is invovled in.I think the U.S should not help because is a war we shouldn't be in because when we help we get into stuff we should be in that make are country go into bigger debt than we are now.

1. Colonists and the British are those who joined the American Revolution. The people joining the Middle Eastern Revolutions are Afghanistan, Iran U.S., Packistan, Iraq and Israel Egypt.

2. Reasons for the American Revolution are the people wanted to be independent. They did not want to listen to the government anymore. The Middle East Revolution reasons are the governments imprisoned individuals without reason. So therefore, they also want their freedom.

3. Libya, Siberia and Iraq.

4. The American Revolution was only inside of America, and the Middle East occured all over the Countries.

5. The U.S. should help out the Middle Eastern countries because we have power and what they need in order to finish the war.

3) Some current revolutions are in Libya, Syria, Yemen, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco.
4) The colonists ended up winning and forming the 13 colonies which started our country. The Middle Eastern Revolutions are still happening so we all hope they come to an end soon.

1) The French and English who opposed King George 3; Joint U.S.(NATO forces included) and middle eastern 'government' forces.( unless its the Iraqi government "iraqi freedom")
2)The American revolution was purely for the indepence of an American state and its freedom to govern itself as a nation. In the middle east, it is more a battle against corruption in a degrading middle east as revolutions arise for change, which is for the most part supported by NATO forces.
3)Lybia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Syria.
4)Well, the 13 colonies became wholly independent of foreign influence, I cannot say the same for middle eastern nations. NATO seems to try to control what happens in the middle east. everything from government affairs to militarism.
5)No. I understand the need for the United States to maintain the role of peacekeeper in the world, but that does not mean we need to establish a significant military presence wherever we are needed. The tools of war are a drain on economic production graphs. I believe a certain amount of help should be allowed if the other country allows it. I believe in the need to distribute instruments that support a majority revolution. That is strictly supplies and airstrikes if need be.

1. The people joining the American revolution were the colonists who wanted to be their own country apart from England. The people in modern day Middle Eastern revolutions are the people of the countries in protest.
2. The AR was to gain independence as their own country while the middle eastern revolution is to change what is already in progress in their government.
3. The current middle eastern revolutions are taking place in Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Syria, Iraq and many others.
4. In the American Revolution the colonists died during battle for independence where in the middle east hundreds of people are dying in riots for change in the government.
5. I think the United States have done as much as we can in helping the middle eastern countries but since our soldiers are dying and there seems to be no change in their government, it should be left to their own country to fix the problems.

People from the middle east were plain sick if the dictators they have nothing they are treated cruel and they have no way of making money.

Andrea Hickman:
We should not help the Middle East. All America has done since we've gained our freedom is poke our nose into the business of other countries. America used to be considered a powerful country, when other countries herd that America was coming they'd stop what they're doing out of fear. Now America is the laughing stock of the world. we've been in the Middle East for several years now and have accomplished next to nothing besides anger a lot of people.

1) People in the American Revolution were the original settlers (george washington, ben franklin, etc.)-And in the Middle East there is Kidaffi's son and followers i believe.

2) The American Revolution happened because people were tired of England's system of power, so they wanted their own country. They knew about the Americas, so they settled there. - And in the Middle East it is because Kidaffi's rule and how terrible of a leader he is.

3) In the Middle East, revolutions are happening in Iraq, although we are helping. Then there is revolution in Libya.

4. The outcome of the American Revolution was that the Declaration of Independence was adopted, and the colonies declared their independence from England. With this, a new country was born. In the Middle East, the people also gained some freedom from their leaders.
5. The U.S. should help the Middle East fight because freedom is an extremely important issue that deserves fighting for.

2. AR: They wanted they own freedom and they no longer wanted to be dependent on England. MER: They want a democraty and their own freedom, too.
3. Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Tunisia, Jordan Saudi Arabia and Morocco. (THe middle east)
4. They all wanted / want they're own freedom. The diference is that england controled america, but the countries in the middle east arn't controled by an other country like england, they control each other with things like threads.
5. I think they should help. There are so many troubles and and I guess that a county that isn't envolved can help the most.
