American Revolutionary War

The American Revolutionary War was a conflict from 1775 to 1783 in which American Patriot forces led by George Washington defeated the British Army. The war was fought in North America, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic Ocean, with the outcome uncertain for most of the conflict. The decisive victory of Washington and the Continental Army in the Siege of Yorktown in 1781 led to the British monarchy negotiating an end to the war in the Treaty of Paris, in which the British recognized the independence of the Thirteen Colonies and the establishment of the United States as a sovereign nation.learn more on wikipedia
