Detailed explanation-1: -After French assistance helped the Continental Army force the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, the Americans had effectively won their independence, though fighting would not formally end until 1783.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inability to Efficiently Supply the British Army Cornwallis had stretched his supply lines so thin that anything less than a total victory against Nathanael Greene meant the end of his surge. This left him pinned at Yorktown and surrounded by the French Navy. His surrender would end the American Revolutionary War.
Detailed explanation-3: -The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war’s expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.
Detailed explanation-4: -In April 1782, the North ministry was replaced by a new British government which accepted American independence and began negotiating the Treaty of Paris. With the treaty’s ratification on September 3, 1783, Britain accepted American independence, and the war officially ended.
