@timeportals: The American Revolution (1775–1783) was a pivotal conflict in which the thirteen American colonies fought for independence from British rule. Sparked by disputes over taxation, representation, and self-governance, the war saw key events like the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and battles such as Saratoga and Yorktown. With the aid of allies like France, the colonies secured victory, leading to the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which recognized the United States as a sovereign nation and marked the birth of a new democracy. 🇺🇸 #history #educational #usa_tiktok #usahistory
