The War for Independence The War for Independence was the result of political clashes between Great Britain and the American colonists. The War for Independence lasted eight and a half years, with successes and defeats on both sides. America looked to another enemy of the British, France, for help in their struggle for independence. The American and French alliance would lead to victory.
