The Newburgh Conspiracy was a failed apparent threat by leaders of the Continental Army in March 1783, at the end of the American Revolutionary War. The Army's commander, George Washington, successfully calmed the soldiers and helped secure back pay. The conspiracy may have been instigated by members in the Congress of the Confederation, who circulated an anonymous letter in the army camp at Newburgh, New York, on March 10, 1783. Soldiers were unhappy that they had not been paid for some time and that pensions that had been promised remained unfunded. The letter suggested that they should take unspecified action against Congress to resolve the issue. The letter was said to have been written by Major John Armstrong, aide to General Horatio Gates, although the authorship and underlying ideas

  • Die Newburgh-Verschwörung (englisch: Newburgh Conspiracy) war eine Verschwörung der , Unzufriedenheit in der Kontinentalarmee zu nutzen um den Kontinentalkongress so sehr zu bedrohen, dass es die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen der Nationalisten annimmt. Ob die Kontinentalarmee einen echten Coup d’Etat vorbereitete ist unter Historikern umstritten. (de)
  • La cosiddetta cospirazione di Newburgh è un episodio controverso avvenuto durante la fase ultima della rivoluzione americana, ovvero nel marzo 1783, quando numerosi ufficiali dell'Esercito Continentale di stanza a Newburgh, risposero ad un appello anonima scritto in due lettere, per organizzare una vera e propria sedizione nei confronti del Congresso degli Stati Uniti d'America, colpevole di aver deliberato il mancato pagamento degli stipendi arretrati a tutti i militari, come rimedio estremo per sopperire a gravi problemi di finanza pubblica. Dallo storico, come dell'Università di Pittsburgh, esso può essere considerato come l'episodio più vicino a un tentato colpo di Stato nella storia degli Stati Uniti d'America. (it)
  • La conspiració de Newburgh (Newburgh conspiration) és una conspiració organitzada el març de 1783 al final de la Guerra d'Independència dels Estats Units provocada pel descontentament d'oficials i soldats de l'Exèrcit Continental que feia uns quants anys que no cobraven. La revolta encara roman avui en part inexplicable: el gener de 1783, els oficials nord-americans van enviar al Congrés la llista de les seves demandes que van quedar sense resposta. Al març, una carta anònima va circular entre els soldats de Newburgh que va predir que l'exèrcit es negaria a dispersar-se si no es complien les seves demandes econòmiques; en el cas d'una represa de les hostilitats amb Anglaterra, es refusaria de lluitar.

  • La conspiration de Newburgh (en anglais : Newburgh's conspiracy) est un complot organisé en mars 1783 à la fin de la guerre d'indépendance américaine provoqué par le mécontentement des officiers et des soldats de l'armée continentale qui n'avaient pas reçu de solde depuis plusieurs années. La révolte reste encore aujourd'hui en partie inexpliquée : en janvier 1783, les officiers américains envoyèrent au Congrès la liste de leurs revendications qui resta sans réponse. En mars, une lettre anonyme circula parmi les soldats à Newburgh qui prévoyait que l’armée refuserait de se disperser si ses revendications économiques n’étaient pas satisfaites ; en cas de reprise des hostilités avec l'Angleterre, elle refuserait de combattre.

  • Ньюбургский заговор (англ. Newburgh conspiracy) был попыткой восстания Континентальной армии США в военном лагере в Ньюбурге, в штате Нью-Йорк. В конце войны за независимость США среди военных, вполне возможно, с подачи политических деятелей Конгресса Конфедерации, были распространены два анонимных письма, вошедшие в историю как «Ньюбургские письма» (англ. Newburgh Letters). (ru)
