Revolutionary War:
The war for American independence from Britain. The fighting began
with the Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1775, and lasted through
the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. General George Washington commanded
the American forces, assisted by Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold,
Horatio Gates, John Paul Jones, and others. The leaders of the
British included Charles Cornwallis, John Burgoyne, Thomas Gage,
and William Howe, among others. The American cause was greatly
aided by French ships and troops and by the presence of the French
nobleman and soldier the Marquis de Lafayette. The Treaty of Paris
in 1783 officially ended the war.
