American Revolutionary War

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was a conflict between the thirteen American colonies and Great Britain. Colonists sought independence due to issues like taxation without representation and British interference in local affairs. Key events included the Boston Tea Party, battles of Lexington and Concord, and the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The colonies received support from France and other nations. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783, recognizing the United States as an independent nation and establishing boundaries. This laid the foundation for the development of American democracy and governance.
