First Answer1799

They just settled the war in 1776, so most people think it's that year.

Better Answer

The American Colonies unilaterally declared their independence from England on July 4, 1776. Not surprisingly, the British did not accept that declaration and used military force to suppress the rebellion. The war dragged on for years. Ultimately, the British were unsuccessful. The Revolutionary War ended with the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, October 19, 1781. The Kingdom of Great Britain formally recognized the United States as an independent country with the Treaty of Paris, September 3, 1783.

The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation for the United States of America in 1777, which formally organized the government. After the Revolution, a much stronger document, the United States Constitution, was adopted in 1789.

Any one of those dates could be accepted as the date upon which the United States of America was formed. Traditionally, however, we tend to recognize the earliest date, July 4, 1776, as the birth date of the nation.
