	The '''American Revolutionary War''' (1775 – 1783), also known as the '''American War for Independence''', began as a conflict between the [[British Empire]] and the [[United Kingdom\|British]] [[United States\|colonies]] in [[North America]], soon developing into a clash on a [[Earth\|global]] scale that involved several of the great [[Europe]]an powers. Following its conclusion, many of the European powers officially recognized the independence of the newly formed United States of America.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>		The '''American Revolutionary War''' (1775 – 1783), also known as the '''American War for Independence''', began as a conflict between the [[British Empire]] and the [[United Kingdom\|British]] [[United States\|colonies]] in [[North America]], soon developing into a clash on a [[Earth\|global]] scale that involved several of the great [[Europe]]an powers.

	The war was a result of the [[American Revolution\|political revolution]] stemming from the {{Wiki\|Stamp Act 1765\|Stamp Act}} of 1765, which the colonists held as unconstitutional because of their lack of representation in the Parliament of Great Britain. The colonists claimed that there could be no taxation without representation and that they had the right to a degree of self-governance, while the Parliament claimed that they represented all [[Civilians\|citizens]] of the British Empire, granting them "virtual representation" ~~- a~~ practice the colonists translated into "taxation without representation".<ref name="AC3" />		The war was a result of the [[American Revolution\|political revolution]] stemming from the {{Wiki\|Stamp Act 1765\|Stamp Act}} of 1765, which the colonists held as unconstitutional because of their lack of representation in the Parliament of Great Britain.

	Thus, the Parliament continued to tax the colonists, until the tax on tea led to the [[Boston Tea Party]] in 1773, which was followed promptly by the Intolerable Acts as a punishment for the movement. Parliament also disbanded the civilian colonial government in [[Massachusetts]] and put the colony under the direct military control of [[British Army]] General [[Thomas Gage]], headquartered in [[Boston]].<ref name="AC3" />		Thus, the Parliament continued to tax the colonists, until the tax on tea led to the [[Boston Tea Party]] in 1773, which was followed promptly by the Intolerable Acts as a punishment for the movement.
