In what year did 13 British colonies declare independence to form the United States?

1776
1783
1765
1790

The correct answer is: 1776

In 1776, 13 British colonies declared their independence from British rule, marking the beginning of the United States. This is known as the Independence Day and is celebrated on July 4th every year. Option B (1783) is incorrect as it marks the year the Treaty of Paris was signed, officially ending the American Revolutionary War and recognizing the United States as an independent nation, but the colonies had already declared independence 7 years prior. Option C (1765) is incorrect as it marks the year of the Stamp Act Congress, which was a protest against taxation without representation, but the colonies had not yet declared independence. Option D (1790) is incorrect as it is the year of the first United States census, which took place after the country was already established.
