The war lasted for eight years, from 1775 to 1783. It was a war between Britain and its colonies in North America which wanted to be free. George Washington was commander-in-chief of the North American army and he did very much for the victory of the colonists.
In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson and some other people and adopted on July 4. That is why July 4 is a national holiday in the United States, it is Independence Day and the birthday of the American nation.
After the end of the War for Independence in 1783, 16 states were formed and they chose George Washington as their first President.
