What country did the US defeat in the Revolutionary Wa?

Answer 1

The Revolutionary War was fought for American Independence from Britain. The war lasted from 1775-1783. Victory was won, due in large part to the cooperation of the French and their allies; Spain and the Netherlands. Britain was able to defeat many American ships, but was not able to defeat land forces as easily. Therefore, when the French ships entered Chesapeake Bay and defeated the British, the Brits knew the war was over and surrendered in Yorktown in 1781. The war lasted longer because the Treaty of Paris was not signed by both nations until 1783, which ultimately ended the Revolutionary War.
