Read the text below and answer the following questions:

a. What was George Washington asked to do when the American War of Independence began?
b. What did George Washington know?
c. What plan did George Washington think of?

In 1775, when the American War of Independence began, George Washington was chosen to lead the American army. Washington knew his job would be difficult because the army was small and the soldiers were untrained and had few guns. The British army was large and strong and its soldiers were very well trained.

Early Battles showed Washington had problems. His army was easily defeated in the Battle of New York. Then Washington thought of a plan. On Christmas night in 1776, he had his soldiers attack the enemy in the city of Trenton, New Jersey. The British soldiers never expected an attack on such a night. They were having a Christmas party. Washington won his first victory. His army won the final battle in Yorktown in 1781.

In 1789 leaders from all the states met to choose the first president of the United States. Everyone voted for George Washington and he became the country's first president, and is remembered as the "father of the country".

George Washington was a great leader and was respected by all his men. He was not interested in fame or money, but only in helping his country.
