Who was fighting the Revolutionary War and why?
The people who fought in the revolutionary war were the British and the Colonists. They went to war because King George III would enforce laws and taxes to the Colonists without there representation. Taxation without representation" meant that the colonists were being taxed and given laws without any representation, meaning that the laws given to them were just given without even letting the colonists knowing. This was unfair to the colonists so they boycotted (rebelled) on all British laws, taxes, and goods. The British could see that the colonists would never give up fighting for their liberty, so they kept fighting, more people died, but in the end, the colonists had won, and liberty was theirs. No longer did they have a monarchy (When a king and or queen runs a nation or country), but now they had a democracy. (people would vote for a leader to represent their country.)

Around 1500 out of 5000 British troops were killed and only around 100 of the colonies were shot.
Why is it called the American War for Independence?
Because Americans lived on the continent of NORTH AMERICA and were fighting the British who OWNED most of NORTH AMERICA...Americans were COLONIES of Great Britain.
