- The American Revolutionary War
- Started because of the Seven Years War
- British won and lost a ton of money
- Britain fought against France to gain control of what is now the United States
- Because Britain lost so much money, they decided to tax the American colonies on basic everyday things.
- The colonies didn't like this, not so much because they were being taxed, more because they were not being represented in British court.
- The Colonies began to protest and wanted their independence from Great Britain. They wrote the Declaration of Independence to declare freedom.
- The King basically said, "over my dead body!" They started to fight.
- At the battle of Yorktown, General Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington.
- After this, the Treaty of Paris was signed, marking the end of the Revolution.
