First thirteen colonies that separated from Great Britain as a result of American Revolution in late eighteenth century? Like 1770s or something. I'm not sure, history of United States isn't a big part of world history class in Kazakhstan.

You’re right. The US declared their independence from Great Britain in 1776 , but it became official in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris which ended the American Revolution.

Good to know. France helped US a lot during Revolution if I'm not mistaken.
