When I said that the war of independence never occured, I meant it never occured in any of the media released by Code Geass. However, America did exist when the Britannians still ruled over the British Isles in Europe. When Napoleon began its invasion and took over Europe and Africa, the remnants of the British Empire, later known as Britannians, than escaped to the continent of America. In order to survive, they took on the idea of Social Darwinism, and built the Holy Britannian Empire. I think what you meant was the Washington Rebellion. Many people believe that the "Washington Rebellion" which occurred in the timeline of Code Geass, is the same as the Revolution of Independence that occurred in our real world.
