Correct Answer - Option 1 : Thirteen Colonies

• The people of the United States fought against the British by forming an alliance with France.
• The Americans defeated the British in the American Revolutionary War, and thus became the United States of America.
• On 3 September 1783, the belligerent parties signed the Treaty of Paris, in which the United Kingdom agreed to accept the authority of the United States and officially put an end to the war.
