(1775-1783) The American Revolution, war in which American colonists fought for and won independence from Great Britain
The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a
war between the
Kingdom of Great Britain and
thirteen British colonies on the North American continent (as well as some naval conflict). The war was the culmination of the political
American Revolution, whereby the colonists overthrew British rule. In 1775, Revolutionaries seized control of each of the thirteen colonial governments, set up the
Second Continental Congress, and formed a
Continental Army. The following year, they formally
declared their independence as a new nation, the
United States of America. From 1778 onward, other European powers would fight on the American side in the war. Meanwhile,
Native Americans and
African Americans served on both sides.
