Definition of American Revolution in US English:American Revolutionproper nounəˈmerəkən ˌrevəˈlo͞oSHən North American

Following disturbances such as the Boston Tea Party of 1773, fighting broke out in 1775; a year later the Declaration of Independence was signed. The Americans gained the support of France and Spain, and French sea power eventually played a crucial role in the decisive surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781 |
