@864cd05e: To add to what you said, the American Revolution began in 1775 and lasted until 1783. It was a result of growing tensions between the American colonies and the British government over issues such as taxation without representation and the colonists' desire for greater autonomy. The war was fought both on land and at sea, and it involved several key battles, including the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Battle of Saratoga, and the Battle of Yorktown. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which recognized the United States as an independent nation. Do you have any other questions on this topic, or is there something else you'd like to discuss?
