Good questions all around, but can't just believe that you didn't check Wikipedia before this

General Tso's chicken is a sweet and spicy deep-fried Hunan Chinese dish that is popularly served in American and Canadian Chinese restaurants. The origins of the dish are unclear. The dish was previously largely unknown in China and other lands home to the Chinese diaspora. [1]
One theory is that the dish was a classic specialty from Hunan province, invented by General Tso's wife and served for him and his officers upon every military victory, although this theory is generally considered to be apocryphal.[2] Many sources claim it was introduced to New York City in the early 1970s as an example of Hunan and Szechuan-style cooking.[1][3]
