French-Indian War and culminating with actions at Lexington and Concord.

Info: The War in the North, 1775-1777. This would address the initial force distributions on both
sides, the formalization of American military forces, British operations in New England, and the
American reactions to those operations.

Info: War in the South and Victory, 1778-1783. Thwarted in the North, the British turned their focus to the southern colonies, where they believed loyalty to the crown remained strong. Despite early successes, the British were ultimately bested by very clever generalship and the combined might of the American and French forces. Military action culminated at Yorktown (1771), though the war wasn't formally concluded until the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783.
