when did the revolutionary war end

The American Revolutionary War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on September 3, 1783. This treaty was signed by representatives of King George III and the United States, formally ending the conflict and recognizing American independence. Although major hostilities largely ended with the American victory at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781, some fighting continued until the treaty was signed in 1783, which marked the formal conclusion of the war.
