American Revolutionary War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The French became involved as allies of the Americans after the victory of the Continental Army at the Battle of Saratoga, proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. On November 30, 1782 preliminary peace articles were signed in Paris; the formal end of The Revolutionary War did not occur until the Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783 and the United States Congress ratified the treaty on January 14, 1784. Full of resentment, Native Americans reluctantly confirmed these land cessions with the United States in a series of treaties, but the result was essentially an armed truce—the fighting would be renewed in conflicts along the frontier, the largest being the Northwest Indian War. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/American_Revolutionary_War   (5364 words)
