The American War of Independence (1775-1783), also known as the American Revolutionary War or the North American Revolutionary War, was a revolutionary war fought by revolutionaries in the thirteen colonies of North America against British rule and for national independence, as well as a war between several other European powers. This war began as a struggle against British economic policies, but later spread far beyond the British North American colonies as France joined the war against Britain. Due to Britain's long-standing restrictions on the rights and interests of the people in the colonies, which severely hindered the economic development of the North American colonies, the North American people rose up to resist Britain's economic policies. The gunfire of Lexington began in April 1775, and on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress passed the Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson, declaring the birth of the United States.
In this fictional historical story, the key factor changed in the outbreak of the American Revolution is the involvement of France from the very beginning. This altered the course of events and led to a different outcome for both the revolution and future developments.
