The American Revolution began in 1775 as open conflict between the united North American thirteen colonies and Great Britain. By the Treaty of Paris that ended the war in 1783, the colonies had won their independence. With this treaty, the British parliament officially recognized the sovereignty of the United States.
At the same time, Britain feared that if it lost the American colonies, it would lose the entire British Empire. In 1776, Britain did not have 13 New World colonies, it had 30. The American Revolution raised the specter of the loss of Ireland and the British West Indies. series of British political missteps, outright blunders, and heavy-handedness stirred the colonists to become patriots. By 1776, a growing number of Americans, including George Washington, were convinced that Britain was embarked on a systematic plan to strip them of their property and reduce them to slavery.
