American Revolution (7h 40min, nov 1, 1765 y – 3h 52min, sep 3, 1783 y)
Description:
After the French and Indian War, England desperately needed money. To increase the taxes on it's colonies, England passed the Stamp Act in 1765 without having colonial representation in parliament. This led to many protests, which only resulted in further acts. The Boston massacre and the Boston tea party all led to the gunshots fired at Lexington and Concord which initiated the American War for Independence. The revolution ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, through which the United States was recognized as a nation.
