Définition

  • The Revolutionary War was the military phase of a much larger and longer conflict between Great Britain and its 13 North American colonies over the constitutional nature of the British Empire and the proper relationship of the colonies to the mother country. The conflict had its immediate roots in the aftermath of the French and Indian War—known also as the Seven Years’ War or the Great War for Empire—when a series of parliamentary acts intended to reform imperial governance and increase revenues to service wartime debts provoked widespread colonial protests.
