It is most accurate to say that the American War for Independence ended not in a surrender by the British but, rather, with a British acknowledgement of defeat. After eight long years of hostilities, the British were war-weary and otherwise exhausted with the effort. Further, their military was also over-stretched due to its many other commitments around the globe -- and could not achieve its aim of subduing the American rebellion.

∙ 12y agoSlowly, the colonists began to wear them down. Then, the french came to the aid of America, and the british were up against a tougher army. It ended when General Cornwallis went to Yorktown and waited near the water for reinforcements and supplies. French ships had just arrived, and Americans blocked a route by land. Cornwallis surrendered and Americans won 900 prisoners.
