The American Revolution
The United States military was established on June 14, 1775, during the American Revolution, by the Continental Army, which was the country’s first organized fighting force. Washington led the Revolution, carrying it out from 1775 to 1783. The nation and its armed forces were molded by many major wars that occurred during the revolution.
At the Battles of Lexington and Concord, there was “the shot heard round the world” that started the war. The United States of America gained independence from Great Britain in 1783 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which marked the end of the conflict. During the American Revolution, 4,435 US military personnel lost their lives.
United States Armed Forces
More than a year before the Declaration of Independence, on June 14, 1775, the U.S. Army was formally established, and it has since been essential to the expansion and advancement of the American people. After a difficult eight-year battle with Great Britain, it achieved the independence of the new republic by drawing on both long-standing militia traditions and recently adopted professional standards.
