The American Revolutionary War marked a pivotal moment in history, beginning with the First Continental Congress in 1774, which created the Declaration and Resolves asserting colonist rights. The war ignited with the battles of Lexington and Concord after British attempts to seize rebel weapons. Significant events continued as George Washington led the Continental Army, facing challenges like the Battle of Bunker Hill. The Declaration of Independence in 1776 formally severed ties with Britain. Ultimately, the war concluded with British surrender at Yorktown and the Treaty of Paris in 1783, establishing American independence.
