When did the US gain its independence?

Answer 1

One may argue that we never have been completely independent. Since the purported Declaration of Independence in 1776, that piece of paper did not change physically change anything. During and after the Revolutionary War, economic dependence on Europe and the Caribbean was still critical to survival of the United States, which still weren't completely united by law until the Constitution of 1787. Leading up to the War of 1812, America was still dependent on foreign trade.

Tracing history all the way to the present day, it's obvious that we are neither self-sufficient nor independent. International trade is still critical to the American economy and way of life. Also, America still gets into worldwide conflicts and face consequences of global issues. In that sense, America never has been, nor likely ever will be truly independent.

The English surrendered in Yorktown, VA in 1781, thus ending the American Revolution. The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783.

Answer 2

The USA declared independence July 4th, 1776. But was not actually independent until we kick the the British out which was just after the Battle of Yorktown in Virginia in 1781.

I hope this answers your question.
