The American Revolution or American War of Independence was when the tension between Britain and its thirteen American colonies snapped, especially because of many taxes, which were protested because the Americans had no representation in Parliament. When the British invaded Massachusetts in 1775, the war was essentially started. The war ended and Britain officially recognized the United States with the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
