English to Arabic: A simple from my recent work General field: Other Detailed field: History
Source text - English The complex situation of Catholicism in Great Britain had results in their Colonies.
At the time of the American revolution, Catholics formed approximately 1.6% of the total American population of the original 13 colonies.
If Catholics were seen as potential enemies of the British state, Irish Catholics, subject to British rule, were doubly-damned.
In Ireland they had been subject to British domination.
In America Catholics were still forbidden from settling in some of the colonies.
Although the head of their faith dwelt in Rome, they were under the official representation of the Catholic Bishop of the London diocese, one James Talbot.
When War began, Bishop Talbot declared his faithfulness to the British Crown.
(If he had done otherwise, Catholics in England would have been in trouble. Anti-Catholic sentiment still ran high.)
He forbade any Colonial priest to serve Communion.
This made practice of the faith impossible.
This created sympathy for the Colonial rebels.
The Continental Army's alliance with the French increased sympathy for the faith.
When the French fleet arrived in Newport, Rhode Island, the colony repealed the Act of 1664 and allowed citizenship to Catholics.
(This anticipated the provision of the Constitutional Bill of Rights which would strike anti-Catholic laws from the books.)
After the war, the Pope created an American Bishop, John Carroll -- a descendant of the same Carrolls who had helped found Maryland -- and an American Diocese communicating directly with Rome.
The British government commanded General Thomas Gage to enforce the Intolerable Acts and shut down the Massachusetts legislature.
Gage decided to confiscate a stockpile of colonial arms located in Concord.
On April 19, 1775, Gage's troops marched to Concord.
On the way, at the town of Lexington, Americans who had been warned in advance by Paul Revere and others of the British movements made an attempt to stop the troops.
No one knows which side fired the first shot, but it sparked battle on Lexington Green between the British and the Minutemen.
Faced against an overwhelmingly superior number of British regular troops in an open field, the Minutemen were quickly routed.
Nevertheless, alarms sounded through the countryside.
The colonial militias poured in and were able to launch guerrilla attacks on the British while they marched on to Concord.
The colonials amassed of troops at Concord.
They engaged the British in force there, and they were able to repulse them.
They then claimed the contents of the armory.
The British retreated to Boston under a constant and withering fire from all sides.
Only a reinforcing column with artillery support on the outskirts of Boston prevented the British withdrawal from becoming a total rout.
The following day the British woke up to find Boston surrounded by 20,000 armed colonists, occupying the neck of land extending to the peninsula the city stood on.
Translation - Arabic لقد أسفر الموقف المعقد للمذهب الكاثوليكي في بريطانيا العظمى عن نتائج على مستعمراتها.
إذ شكل الكاثوليكيون ما يقرب من 1,6٪ من مجموع السكان الأمريكيين في المستعمرات الثلاث عشرة الأصلية في وقت الثورة الأمريكية.
وإذا كان الكاثوليكيون عمومًا يُعتبرون أعداءً محتملين للدولة البريطانية، فإن الكاثوليكيين الأيرلنديين، الخاضعين للحكم البريطاني، قد كانوا مكروهين كرهًا مضاعفًا.
إذ إن الكاثوليكيين في أيرلندا خاضعون للهيمنة البريطانية.
أما الكاثوليكيون في أمريكا، فقد ظلّوا ممنوعين من الاستقرار في بعض المستعمرات.
وعلى الرغم من أن رأس مذهبهم كان يسكن روما، فإنهم كانوا تحت وطأة التمثيل الرسمي للأسقف الكاثوليكي لأسقفية لندن، وهو شخص ما يُدعى جيمس تالبوت.
وقد أعلن الأسقف تالبوت إخلاصه للتاج البريطاني لمّا بدأت الحرب.
(فلو لم يفعل ذلك، لوقع الكاثوليكيون في إنجلترا في ورطة. إذ ما تزال مشاعر معادة المذهب الكاثوليكي مشتعلة.)
وقد حرّم على قساوسة المستعمارات إجراء "المناولة المقدسة".
ما جعل ممارسة المذهب الكاثوليكي أمرًا مستحيلاً.
وهو ما خلق تعاطفًا تجاه متمردي المستعمرات.
وقد زاد تحالف "الجيش القاري" مع الفرنسيين من التعاطف مع المذهب.
لمّا وصل الأسطول الفرنسي إلى نيوبورت، بولاية رود آيلاند الأمريكية، ألغت المستعمرة قانون 1664، وسمحت للكاثوليكين بالحصول على الجنسية.
(وهو ما سبق إصدار وثيقة حقوق الولايات المتحدة التي ستلغي القوانين المعادية للكاثوليكية من الكتب فيما بعد).
وقد عيَّن البابا (أسقف روما ورأس الكنيسة الكاثوليكية) أسقفًا أمريكيًا، بعد الحرب، هو جون كارول - سليل آل كارول ذاتهم الذين ساعدوا في تأسيس ولاية ماريلاند الأمريكية - وأنشأ أسقفية أمريكية تتواصل مباشرة مع روما.
ثم أمرت الحكومة البريطانية الجنرالَ، توماس جايج، بإنفاذ "القوانين التي لا تطاق" وإغلاق الهيئة التشريعية في ولاية ماساتشوستس الأمريكية.
وقد قرر جايج مصادرة مخزون من أسلحة المستعمرة، الموجود في بلدة كونكورد، بولاية ماساتشوستس الأمريكية.
ثم سارت قوات جايج قاصدةً بلدة كونكورد في التاسع عشر من أبريل عام 1775 م.
وفي طريقهم، تحديدًا في مدينة ليكسينغتون الأمريكية، حاول الأمريكيون - الذين حذرهم بول ريفير، وآخرون من المنتمين إلى الحركات البريطانية، في وقت سابق - وقف القوات.
لا أحد يعلم أي الجانبين أطلق الطلقة الأولى، لكنها أثارت معركةً على أرض "ليكسينغتون باتل جرين" بين البريطانيين ومقاتلي الثورة الأمريكية (Minutemen).
وسرعان ما هُزم مقاتلو الثورة الأمريكية؛ من جرّاء مواجهة عدد أكبر بكثير من القوات النظامية البريطانية في حقل مفتوح.
إلا أن أصوات الإنذارات ترددت على طول الريف الأمريكي.
فتدفقت ميليشيات المستعمرة وتمكنوا من شن هجمات على البريطانيين، بأسلوب حرب العصابات، في أثناء سيرهم إلى بلدة كونكورد.
وتجمّعت قوات المستعمرة في بلدة كونكورد.
واشتبكوا مع البريطانيين بأعداد كبيرة، وتمكنوا من صدهم.
ثم استولوا على محتويات مخزن أسلحتهم.
فتراجع البريطانيون إلى مدينة بوسطن تحت وطأة نيران مستمرة ومهلكة من جميع الجهات.
وكان طابور دعم واحد مسلح بالمدفعية، في ضواحي مدينة بوسطن، هو ما منع الانسحاب البريطاني من أن يتحول إلى هزيمة شاملة.
ثم استيقظ البريطانيون، في اليوم التالي، ليجدوا مدينة بوسطن محاطةً بعشرين ألفًا من سكان المستعمرة مدججين بالسلاح، يحتلون ممرها الممتد إلى شبه الجزيرة حيث توجد مدينة المدينة.
