Abstract

Tema završnog rada je usporedba američkog rata za neovisnost i obrambenog Domovinskog rata. U radu je obrađeno nekoliko parametara vezanih za sličnosti u oba rata (uzroci rata, stjecanje neovisnosti, ustroj vojske, vrhovni zapovjednici, odlučujuće bitke, rezultati rata).
Američki rat za neovisnost je ključan događaj za Sjedinjene Američke Države. Trajao je od 1775. do 1783. godine. Ovaj rat koji je poznat još pod imenom Američka revolucija je borba Velike Britanije i trinaest kolonija koje su htjele okončati britansku vladavinu, oformiti modernu državu i steći neovisnost, što su na kraju i uspjele.
Hrvatski narod je stoljećima težio za svojom suverenom i neovisnom državom kao jedan od najstarijih naroda u Europi, ali je uvijek služio drugim gospodarima i bio potlačen i iskorištavan. Svi pokušaji su propali do Domovinskog rata i jednog od najvećih sinova hrvatskog naroda, doktora Franje Tuđmana.
Cilj rada je upoznati osobe neupućene u zbivanja na ovim prostorima 1990-tih godina, osobito mlađe generacije, studente, što se to točno dogodilo i usporediti naš obrambeni Domovinski rat s građanskim ratom u Americi.

Abstract (english)

The subject of this final paper is a comparison of the American War of Independence and of the Croatian Homeland War. The paper deals with several parameters related to similarities in both wars (causes of war, securing independence, establishing an army, supreme commanders, decisive battles, results of the war).
The American War of Independence is a key event for the United States. It lasted from 1775 to 1783. This war, which is still known as the American Revolution, is the battle between Great Britain and thirteen colonies that wanted to end British rule, to create a modern state and gain independence, which eventually succeeded.
For centuries, the Croatian people have longed for their sovereign and independent state as one of the oldest peoples in Europe but have always served other lords and were oppressed and exploited. All attempts have failed until the Homeland War and one of the greatest sons of the Croatian people, Dr. Franjo Tudjman.
The aim of the paper is to inform the uninitiated of events which occurred in the 1990s, especially younger generations and students, and to compare our defensive homeland war with the civil war in America.
