| - The Continental Army was formed after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War by the colonies that became the United States of America. Established by a resolution of the Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, it was created to coordinate the military efforts of the Thirteen Colonies in their revolt against the rule of Great Britain. The Continental Army was supplemented by local militias and other troops that remained under control of the individual states. General George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the army throughout the war. Most of the Continental Army was disbanded in 1783 after the Treaty of Paris ended the war. The 1st and 2nd Regiments went on to form the nucleus of the Legion of the United States in 1792 under General Anthony Wayne. This became the foundation of the United States Army in 1796.
- The Continental Army was the main military force of the newly formed United States during the American Revolutionary War. George Washington was elected as the Commander-in-Chief of the army by the Continental Congress in 1775, who created it for the purpose of engaging in combat with the armed forces of the British Empire. After six years of fighting, the British forces were eventually defeated in 1781. The Continental forces were greatly assisted by the Kingdom of France, which provided men and supplies. The Kingdom of Spain and the Dutch Republic also helped to distract the mighty Royal Navy at sea, meaning that the British were unable to bring their full strength to the Colonies. In 1783, after American and French military successes, coupled with French and Spanish threats to the British mainland, the British Parliament were forced to give up the Thirteen Colonies. The British then withdrew from the rebellious American colonies after the Treaty of Paris ended the war, but maintained control of many West Indies and British North American colonies. Following this, the majority of the soldiers from the Continental Army went home to their families, and the few units remaining later formed the nucleus of the United States Army.
