The American Revolution, 1763 - 1783

The American Revolution was a political and military conflict between Great Britain and the Thirteen Colonies in North America, lasting from 1763 to 1783.

The United States Declaration of Independence, signed on July 4, 1776, declared the colonies to be independent states and no longer a part of the British Empire.

The British responded with a massive military effort, leading to the battles of Lexington and Concord and the Siege of Boston in 1775.

In 1776, with the help of France, the Continental Army and Navy defeated the British at the Battle of Saratoga, marking the first decisive American victory of the war.

In 1781, with the combined forces of the Continental Army, France and Spain, the British were defeated at the Siege of Yorktown.

The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1783, officially ended the conflict, granting independence to the United States.

The American Revolution saw the emergence of a new nation, the United States of America, formed from the former colonies.
