  American Revolutionary War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The war was the culmination of the American Revolution, a colonial struggle against political and economic policies of the British Empire.
Throughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where most of the population lived) largely eluded them.
The northern, southern, and naval theaters of the war converged in 1781 at Yorktown, Virginia.

Normans began to identify themselves as Anglo-Norman; indeed, the Anglo-Norman language was considerably distinct from the "Parisian French" which was the subject of some humour by Geoffrey Chaucer.
Eventually, even this distinction largely disappeared in the course of the Hundred Years war, and by the 15th century the Anglo-Normans had merged with the Anglo-Saxons to form the English.
Anglo-Norman barons also settled in Ireland from the 12th century, initially to support Irish regional kings such as Diarmuid MacMorrough, then to support Henry II of England and his son John as Lord of Ireland.
