Best Answer

While the American Revolution started in 1765, the colonies did not officially declare independence from British rule until 1776 (argubably because they had been operating independentlylong before then). In 1783, their independence was officially recognized when the war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris.

on the 4th July 1776
The United States declared itself to be independent of England on July 4, 1776. However, since England did not accept their sovereignty, they had to fight a war to truly achieve independence. The Revolutionary War was ended by the Treaty of Paris, which was ratified by the King of England on April 9, 1784. That was the moment when England officially recognized the United States as a sovereign nation.
