The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a pivotal conflict in world history that

led to the independence of the United States from British rule. The revolution was
fueled by tensions over taxation, representation, and colonial autonomy.

The slogan 'No taxation without representation' emerged as the colonies resisted
British policies like the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. Events like the Boston
Tea Party further escalated tensions.

The war began in 1775 at Lexington and Concord. Under the leadership of figures
like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, the colonies declared independence in
1776.

After years of conflict, the Treaty of Paris (1783) recognized American


independence. The revolution inspired democratic movements worldwide and laid the
foundation for the U.S. Constitution.
