The main result of the U.S.'s War of Independence from Britain was the establishment of the United States as an independent nation. The conflict, which lasted from 1775 to 1783, resulted in the colonies breaking free from British rule and asserting their right to self-governance. The war culminated in the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which recognized American sovereignty. This independence prompted the development of a new government framework, ultimately leading to the creation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, laying the foundation for modern democracy in the U.S.
