The American
Revolution began at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts
on 19 April 1775. It ended on 26 November 1783 when
the British Army withdrew from New York City. In
those 8 years and 7 months a great many military actions
occurred in both America and Europe.
At present we do not show all the actions engaged in by our
allies (France and Spain). There were many of these, in the
Carribean, India and other places around the world. They added
to the British woes and finally induced them to stop the war.
Here is a summary
table showing where these actions occurred by location
(state, province, or at sea), and a chart showing the
number of actions in each two month interval.
