	American Revolutionary War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a war fought primarily between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies in North America.
		The war began largely as a colonial revolt against the economic policies of the British Empire, and eventually widened far beyond British North America, with France, Spain, and the Netherlands entering the war against Great Britain.
		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.

		The Mexican-American War was the first major conflict driven by the idea of "Manifest Destiny"; the belief that America had a God-given right, or destiny, to expand the country's borders from 'sea to shining sea'.
		First, the desire of the U.S. to expand across the North American continent to the Pacific Ocean caused conflict with all of its neighbors; from the British in Canada and Oregon to the Mexicans in the southwest and, of course, with the Native Americans.
		The second basic cause of the war was the Texas War of Independence and the subsequent annexation of that area to the United States.

		While many people compare the war in Iraq to Vietnam, the Algerian War of Independence a half century ago provides striking similarities to the difficulties the United States has encountered during its military engagement in the Middle East, journalist and scholar David Ottaway told a AAAS audience.
		Ottaway, a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, contended that the current war in Iraq and the Algerian War of Independence share a common thread: Both the US and France achieved significant early military victories, but strong guerrilla insurgencies arose because they were unable to win the war of ideology.
		Another similarity between the Algerian War of Independence and the Iraq War is the use of torture by Western powers which had been declared supporters of human rights.
