The War of Independence (American Revolutionary War)

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was a conflict between the thirteen British colonies in North America and Great Britain. Colonists sought independence due to issues like taxation without representation and desire for self-governance. They organized militias, issued the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and fought to establish their own nation. After years of battle, the colonies succeeded, and the United States was born, establishing a new country based on principles of liberty and democratic governance.
