War of Independence

The War of Independence refers to various conflicts where a group seeks to gain freedom from colonial or foreign rule. The most notable example is the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), where the thirteen American colonies fought against British control to establish the United States. Key factors included issues like taxation without representation and desires for self-governance. The conflict resulted in the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and ultimately led to the creation of a new nation. Other countries have also had their own wars of independence, each driven by similar desires for autonomy and self-determination.
