George Washington was made the Commander in Chief of the American forces at the Second Continental Congress in 1775.

The Second Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia starting in May 1775, shortly after the Battles of Lexington and Concord had initiated the American Revolutionary War. One of its crucial early decisions was to establish a unified Continental Army and appoint a commander.

On June 15, 1775, John Adams nominated George Washington of Virginia to be Commander-in-Chief of the newly formed Continental Army. Washington accepted the appointment and took command in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in July 1775. The Boston Tea Party occurred in December 1773, the First Continental Congress was in September 1774, and the Declaration of Independence was issued on July 4, 1776, all prior to or separate from the appointment date.
