The British Army during the American Revolutionary War served for eight years in campaigns fought around the globe. Defeat at the Siege of Yorktown to a combined Franco-US force ultimately led to the loss of the Thirteen Colonies in eastern North America, and the concluding Treaty of Paris deprived Britain of many of the gains achieved in the Seven Years' War. However several victories elsewhere meant that much of the British Empire remained intact.

  • شارك الجيش البريطاني في حرب الاستقلال الأمريكية بعدة حملات قتالية استمرت لثمان سنوات في العديد من الدول حول العالم. أدت الهزيمة في معركة يوركتاون، عام 1781، أمام قوة فرنسية أمريكية مشتركة، إلى خسارة المستعمرات الثلاث عشرة الواقعة شرق أمريكا الشمالية، وحال إبرام معاهدة باريس، في عام 1783، دون تحصيل بريطانيا للعديد من المكاسب التي حققتها خلال حرب السنوات السبع. مع ذلك، كانت الانتصارات التي حققها الجيش البريطاني في أماكن أخرى من العالم سببًا في بقاء جزء كبير من أراضي الإمبراطورية البريطانية على حاله.

  • L'armée britannique (British Army) dans la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis est la force militaire terrestre envoyée par le royaume de Grande-Bretagne pour combattre les insurgés nord-américains et leurs alliés entre 1775 et 1783. Elle obéit au gouvernement royal sous le contrôle du Parlement de Grande-Bretagne. Un corps d'officiers nobles, souvent plus soucieux de prestige social que d'efficacité, encadre une troupe mal payée et assez peu considérée. Un gros effort de recrutement, fondé sur les primes et l'enrôlement forcé, lui permet de doubler son effectif pendant le conflit. Initialement supérieure en nombre, armement et professionnalisme à l'armée indépendantiste levée par le Congrès continental, elle remporte plusieurs victoires mais, malgré l'appui de mercenaires allemands, de l (fr)
