The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a war fought primarily between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies in North America. The war began largely as a colonial revolt against the economic policies of the British Empire, and eventually widened far beyond British North America, with France, Spain, and the Netherlands entering the war against Great Britain. Additionally, many American Indians fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture colonial coastal cities, but control of the countryside largely eluded them. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States of America. Because a great number of colonists fled the thirteen colonies and settled in the north, the war also paved the way for the eventual creation of what would become Canada.

Yorktown\nAmerican Revolution, 1781\n\nThe Battle of Yorktown was the climax of the American Revolution and directly led to the independence of the United States of America. While others may have been larger and more dramatic, no battle in history has been more influential. From the days following their victory at Yorktown, Americans have steadily gained power and influence up to their present role as the world's most prosperous nation and the only military superpower.\n\nThe idea that a group of poorly armed, loosely organized colonists would have the audacity to challenge the massive, experienced army and navy of their rulers seemed impossible when the revolution's first shots rang out at Lexington and Concord in 1775. The rebels' chances of success seemed even more remote when the American colonies formally declared their independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776.\n\nDespite the huge imbalance of power, the Americans understood that time was on their side. As long as George Washington and his army remained in the field, the newly declared republic survived. Washington did not have to defeat the British; he simply had to avoid having the British defeat him. The longer the war lasted, the greater the odds that the British would become involved in wars that threatened their own islands and that the British public would tire of the war and its costs.\n\nDuring the first year of the war, Washington had lost a series of battles around New York but had withdrawn the bulk of his army to fight another day. Many British commanders had unintentionally aided the American effort with their military ineptness and their belief that the rebels would diplomatically end their revolt.\n\nParticipants on both sides, as well as observers around the world, had begun to take the possibility of American independence seriously only with their victory at Saratoga in October 1777. The poorly executed plan by the British to divide New England from the southern colonies by occupying New York's Hudson River Valley had resulted not only in the surrender of nearly six thousand British soldiers but also in the recognition of the United States as an independent nation by France. The American victory at Saratoga and the entrance of the French into the war also drew Spain and the Netherlands into the fight against England.\n\nBy 1778, neither the British nor the Americans could gain the upper hand, as the war in the northern colonies had come to a stalemate. The British continued to occupy New York and Boston, but they were too weak to crush the rebel army. Washington similarly lacked the strength to attack the British fortresses.\n\nIn late 1778, British commander General Henry Clinton used his superior sea mobility to transfer much of his army under Lord Charles Cornwallis to the southern colonies, where they occupied Savannah and then Charleston the following year. Clinton's plan was for Cornwallis to neutralize the southern colonies, which would cut off supplies to Washington and isolate his army.\n\nWashington countered by dispatching Nathanael Greene, one of his ablest generals, to command the American troops in the South. From 1779 to 1781, Greene and other American commanders fought a guerrilla-like campaign of hit-and-run maneuvers that depleted and exhausted the British. In the spring of 1781, Cornwallis marched into North Carolina and then into Yorktown on the Virginia peninsula flanked by the York and James Rivers. Although his army outnumbered the Americans two to one, Cornwallis fortified the small town and waited for additional men and supplies to arrive by ship.\n\nMeanwhile, more than seven thousand French infantrymen, commanded by Jean Baptiste de Rochambeau, joined Washington's army outside New York, and a French fleet led by Admiral Paul de Grasse waited in the Caribbean, preparing to sail northward. Washington wanted de Grasse to blockade New York while the combined American-French armies attacked Clinton&#39

Any search engine will work (Google, Yahoo, etc).  You might want to narrow down the topic a bit (ex. battles in NJ, Deborah Sampson, or Fort Ticonderoga).  PBS did a television series called Liberty! which was very good, and there is also info on their website (www.pbs.org).

==============================================\nThe American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence,[1] was a war between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies, who declared their independence as the United States of America in 1776.\n\nThe war was the culmination of the American Revolution, a colonial struggle against political and economic policies of the British Empire. The war eventually widened far beyond British North America; many Native Americans also fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where most of the population lived) largely eluded them.

Check out 'The War for American Independence' by Samuel Griffith II, a former USMC Brigadier General, he writes a readable informative accurate account examining opinions on both sides of the Atlantic.    One 'ugly secret' that The Republicans wish you would ignore is that America's founding Fathers (and Mothers) were -  - - LIBERALS.   \n(Yikes)  Many Englishmen/women then and now view the American Revolutionary War  as an extension of The English struggle for Liberty - - - radical notions such as a majority of the citizens having a voice in Parliament, a say on matters such as taxation, tariffs, how to conduct War and when and against who, etc.   Many Englishmen then saw a Strong Independent America as a better ally to Britain than a weak colony, a view vindicated by America's air during World War One & Two.\n\nPeace...

I think it is clear that the key was the fact the British and French were at war, so the French joined us.\n\nThe real turning point was the victory at Cowpens, where an American Army, using the same tactics as the British defeated a british army in the field.  So tatics weren't a big factor.\n\nThat was followed up by the surrender at Yorktown.  Where a French fleet prevented an English retreat by sea and thousands of French troops helped to secure the seige.  American troops did most of the fighting but the presence of the French troops insured the surrender.\n\nAfter all at the time the British were the worlds greatest Military power.  \n\nEven during the war of 1812 the British could not focus on their battle with the Americans with Napleon running amuck in Europe.
