How Did George Washington Change The World

On February 22, 1732, a boy by the name of George Washington was born in the New World. Washington was born in Virginia to Augustine Washington and his second wife, Mary Ball Washington. While growing up, George had no idea that one day he will change the world forever. In 1753, Washington gained a vast amount of military experience in the French and Indian War with a commission as a major in the militia of the British Province of Virginia. Ultimately, this led him to the Revolutionary War of 1775 where he was chosen by the Continental Congress to be commander in chief of the continental army.
