American Revolutionary war ends

• American Revolutionary war ends as British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, October 1781, peace treaty signed, 1783.

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a war between the Kingdom of Great Britain and thirteen British colonies on the North American continent.

Throughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities. In early 1778, France entered the war against Britain; Spain and the Netherlands joined as allies of France over the next two years. French involvement proved decisive, with a French naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 ended the war and recognized the sovereignty of the United States over the territory bounded by what is now Canada to the north, Florida to the south, and the Mississippi River to the west.
