America fought the British Empire for independance in 1775-9.
It was the Battle of Bunker Hill where the British realized, despite their victory, that defeating the Americans would not be easy. The battle occurred on June 17, 1775.
The Battle of Bunker Hill was a fierce battle fought between the British and the Americans in 1775. The British won this battle despite taking a substantial amount of casualties.
The first fighting of the Revolutionary War broke out in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. On April 19, 1775, British soldiers confronted local militia in an attempt to seize weapons and supplies. This skirmish marked the beginning of the armed conflict between the American colonists and British forces.
In terms of the actual fighting, the first shot fired was the so-called "shot heard 'round the world" which was fired by an unknown person (could be British or American) in Lexington, Massachusetts in 1775. In terms of the grievances, both the Americans and the British faulted the other for a long list of historical issues, so it is unclear who started the American Revolution in that sense.
