America Declares Independence From Great Britain - July 4, 1776
Today in History, the Continental Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims the United Staes independence from Great Britain and its king. There were many tensions between England and the American colonies, which led to the American Revolution, which started 442 prior to this day. The American War for Independence would last another 5 years, and in 1783, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris with Britain, America finally became a fully independent and free nation.
