The American Revolution, or Revolution of the Thirteen Colonies, was the process by which the United States achieved independence. This European country had begun the process of colonization during the seventeenth century and, over the following decades, established thirteen different colonies on the Atlantic coast.The British need to recover economically caused it to impose a series of taxes on the colonists. These, who did not even have representation in London, began to protest.The Tea Party in 1773 was one of the most significant protests to occur in the British territories in North America. The events in Boston marked a turning point and led to the outbreak of the War of Independence in 1775. The rebels declared independence the following year, although the conflict continued until 1783.The final victory went to the independentists. These, influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment, promulgated the constitution of the Enlightenment.
