 * Revolutionary War:

Breaking down the definition to prove the Revolutionary War __was__ a revolution:

overthrow or repudiation [defeat or disown(rejection of any force or authority)] - the war began with the thirteen colonies fighting for their rights against their mother country, Great Britain. The colonists and their allies defeated British control, and repudiated(rejected their force of authority), as they were now an independent country.

thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed (complete replacement; installed and secure government) - at this time in 1775 until 1776 the people being governed were the colonists by the established government of Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence was consisted in this war and was signed and completed in 1776 when the thirteen colonies became independent, replacing the British government completely.

Easier terms : The englishman of the thirteen colonies, the overruled people, fought and defeated their mother country and received rights for everyone and created their own government in replacement of their once powerless selves. They revolted to receive the rights they deserved, and they succeeded with victory of the war, and got the chance to create their own goverment. The englishmen had no intent of receiving an independent country before the revolution started, and it wasn't even considered a revolution until many years later. If the englishmen just fought for what they wanted I believe that it wouldn't be considered a revolution for, as you know the revolution is and overthrow or repudation, which is a synonym for defeat and disown. The englishmen were just fighting for less taxes and such, but turned out with greater ideas. After the overall story of the fight between the biggest military in the world, and the minutemen of the thirteen colonies, it was classified as a revolution for the events that occurred within the war. They fought for rights, they got freedom. They fought for no taxes, they got their own government. They repudiated and thoroughly replaced an established government themselves.

Final Script:

Defeat. Rejection. Replacement. Colonists. British Parliament. The question is: Was the Revolutionary War really a revolution? I believe so. Here's your proof. The definition of revolution is an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed. The war began with governed minutemen and regular working citizens from the thirteen colonies fighting for the rights of all englishmen, there was no intent of being an independent free country. Before the war started much of the controversy was between getting rid of a few taxes. Some people were loyal to the King and claimed the taxes were just something that was needed to paid, but others like the patriots of the colonies were against British rule and were prepared to fight. What started out so small of an argument to fight, turned into the biggest change at the time, and has affected our country greatly. In my opinion, the American Revolution could be classified as the greatest revolution ever. The comparison within the fight was completely imbalanced. This war was between Britain, the biggest and most powerful army in the world, against the militia of the thirteen colonies and their small group of allies after it became a global war in 1781. Normal blacksmiths, silversmiths, farmers, and many more inexperienced workers prepared to fight in a minutes notice, hence the name minutemen. I say it can be classified as the greatest revolution ever, because those inexperienced colonists defeated the great and powerful British military. They fought with what they had and they were the ones prepared. The Britains were along the lines of this wasn't even a fight for them. The colonists caught them off guard and they fought with heart and desire. They got what they could while they were ahead. Therefore, in 1776, the confidence within the colonists was so great, they decided to create the Declaration of Independence and go from getting their rights to becoming their own country. In 1783, the war was ended in favor of the minutemen of the thirteen colonies. They defeated the British, and replaced their ruling with their own government, which was soon fully created in 1787 by the Constitution. The minutemen, being the people governed, defeated the British, rejected their force of authority, and completely replaced an established government, being the ruling British. So, as the Revolutionary War events fit the definition perfectly, was it really a revolution?**
