Revolutionary War (American Revolutionary War)

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was a conflict between the Thirteen American colonies and Britain. Colonists sought independence due to issues like taxes without representation, British military presence, and laws restricting their freedoms. They fought to establish a new nation where they could govern themselves. The war involved battles, alliances (notably with France), and significant sacrifices. In 1783, Britain recognized American independence with the Treaty of Paris. This conflict marked the birth of the United States and highlighted the colonies' desire for self-determination and democratic principles.
