The '''American Revolutionary War''', also known as the '''Revolutionary War''' or '''American War of Independence''', was fought from 1775 to 1783 between the Thirteen American Colonies and the British Empire. It secured American independence from Great Britain and resulted in the creation of the United States of America. It is considered the most important war in the history of the United States (alongside the [[American Civil War]], to a lesser extent.)

Line 21: Line 21:
Although the British wars with France and Spain continued for another two years, Britain's forces in America were generally confined to several harbors and western forts, while fighting in North America largely ceased. In April 1782, the North ministry was replaced by a new British government which accepted American independence and began negotiating the Treaty of Paris. With the treaty's ratification on September 3, 1783, Britain accepted American independence, and the war officially ended. The Treaties of Versailles resolved separate conflicts with France and Spain.
