The history of New York City had begun with the voyage of the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. In the honor of Francis I of France, King of France and count of Angouleme in the Charente region in France, Giovanni had named the present-day New York City as New Angouleme. New Angouleme had acquired its name from the French word Nouvelle-Angouleme in 1524. After 1625, this place was referred to as New Amsterdam as it had become a Dutch colonial settlement. In 1664 the English conquered it and renamed it New York.
New York City area had faced numerous battles of the American Revolutionary War in which one of the largest battles was the Battle of Brooklyn. The American Revolutionary War, also known as American War of Independence (1775-1783), was the war between Great Britain and 13 British colonies in North America, but it ended up as the Global War between many European powers. The Battle of Brooklyn or Battle of Brooklyn Heights was one of the largest battles of the American Revolutionary War. After the battle was fought, on August 27, 1776, the United States was declared as an independent nation.
