The famous battle fought between Britain and the American colonies in 1775 was the Battle of Lexington and Concord. This confrontation marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. Tensions had been mounting as American colonists protested British policies and taxations, leading to armed resistance. The British aimed to seize colonial military supplies stored in Concord. However, an early skirmish at Lexington sparked a broader conflict, with colonial militias successfully forcing British troops to retreat back to Boston. This battle symbolized the colonial struggle for independence and unity against British rule.
