The document summarizes the key events leading up to the American Revolution from the 1760s through the early 1780s. Dissatisfaction grew among colonists in response to new taxes imposed by the British Parliament and a sense that their rights were not being respected. Events like the Stamp Act, Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, and Intolerable Acts inflamed tensions and protests. The Continental Congresses formed an alliance with France and officially declared independence in 1776. After early setbacks, American and French forces were victorious over the British at Saratoga and Yorktown, leading to recognition of independence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
