  Introduction
  
  The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was the military component of the American Revolutin. It was fought primarily between Great Britain and revolutionaries within the 13 British colonies in North America who declared their independence with the Declaration of Independence as the United States of America early in the war. The war began largely as a colonial revolt against the mercantile and economic policies of the British Empire, and eventually widened far beyond British North America, with France, Spain, and the Nethetrlands entering the war against Great Britain. Additionally, many Native Americans in the United States fought on both sides of the conflict.
