    The American War of Independence began as a conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and 13 British colonies over taxation and representation. The colonies did not want to be subjected to the British army or forced to purchase British goods. General George Washington led the American forces, while the French, Germans, and Spanish supported the Americans in order to weaken British influence. The war ended in 1783 with American victories at Yorktown and the capitulation of remaining British forces in New York and Philadelphia, culminating in the Treaty of Paris that recognized American independence. The war resulted in 65,000 casualties between American and British forces and devastated the colonies, taking 7 years for Americans and 12 years for the British to recover.
