why did the american revolution start?how did it end?

The British Parliament was exploiting its colonies to pay for the war debt acrued from the French and Indian War. The American colonist had began to develop their own national idenity and did not think it fare that they had to pay these taxes.

The actually fighting started in 1775 in Massachusetts (at Lexington and Concord) when British soldiers were ordered to confiscate munition being stored there. American minute men moved to stop them.

The fighting ended in 1781 when the British General Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington at the Siege of Yorktown. This was in no way a desisive battle, the British had not been defeated, they simply wanted to stop fighting.

A peace treaty wasn’t signed until two years later, when Great Britain formally recognzied independence.
