The American Revolution, fought from 1775 to 1783, was a conflict between Great Britain and its thirteen North American colonies, driven by grievances over representation and various acts imposed by Britain. Key battles resulted in numerous victories for the colonists, notably the Battle of Yorktown, which culminated in the signing of the Treaty of Paris and secured independence for the colonies. The revolution prompted significant societal changes, including: establishing new governments, addressing debts, and igniting discussions around rights and representation, although the benefits of liberty did not extend to all, particularly slaves.
