Key battles included Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown, culminating in American victory and independence from Britain as outlined in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
Spies
Several spies played important roles in helping the American colonists gain intelligence and defeat the British during the Revolutionary War:

- Nathan Hale volunteered for an intelligence mission but was caught and hanged, uttering the famous line "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
- The Culper Ring, organized by Benjamin Tallmadge and Abraham Woodhull, operated covertly in British-occupied New York and provided General Washington with valuable intelligence until the end of the war.

The Declaration of Independence was ratified in 1776 declaring the colonies independent states. While the British army was powerful, the colonists used guerrilla tactics and received aid from France and Spain to eventually force Britain's surrender at Yorktown in 1781, recognizing American independence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
