This is kind of incoherent @wikipedia - it's written from an American point of view and doesn't make clear at all what Britain's and France's war was in the first place - it needs an introduction that would précis the whole thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-French/War/(1778%E2%80%931783)

Bring it up in the edits.

The lead in is very poorly written, the next section "Background" seems fine though.

@Cheradenine I don't know enough about that war; it seems to haul in America from the outside, though - very confusing
