The coming of independence- causes and effects of the revolutionary war- chapter 2 section.

The American Revolutionary War was a war fought between 1775 and 1783, primarily between Great Britain and thirteen British colonies in North America that had declared their independence as the United States of America. The war began with the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775 and escalated into a full-scale conflict, with significant battles including Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and Yorktown. The war was fought in many parts of North America, with key theaters of conflict including New England, the Mid-Atlantic region, the South, and the frontier areas. The war ultimately resulted in the United States gaining its independence from Great Britain, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
