Content fork

This article is a direct content fork of the article American Revolutionary War, any information found here not there should be merged into that article and this article redirected to that one.XavierGreen (talk) 18:45, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

I disagree. SuffrenXXI (talk) 20:01, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

This article is not before time, and is crucial to a proper understanding that there were many more facets to the so-called American Revolutionary War than merely those that took place on the American continent. The events of this war are only cursorily covered in the main artical on the American Revolutuion so any attempt to integrate them should be rigorously opposed.--Godwhale (talk) 17:34, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

There's also the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, First Anglo-Maratha War, Second Anglo-Mysore War and maybe more. Pretend that every concomitant war with the ARW is the same thing make no sense at all. And the ARW article is pretty crowded as it is now. SuffrenXXI (talk) 19:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

This article is a recently created content fork of France in the American Revolutionary War, an article around since 2005. A merge discussion was started at Talk:American Revolutionary War#Merger proposal; I encourage editors to discuss the proposal there. I'm taking the liberty of notifying wikiprojects associated with all three pagespaces. BusterD (talk) 21:03, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

The Netherlands and Mysore were never officially aligned with the Spanish, French, and Americans and did not directly participate in the main conflict. They were merely co-belligerents in common cause against the british and primarily fought their own seperate conflicts. This is not the case in regards to France, the French signed treaties of alliance with the United States and Spain and fought the war together. There was no seperate Anglo-French War as this page asserts, France's participation in the war was joined at the begining as a direct part of the same conflict America was fighting.XavierGreen (talk) 17:30, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

This is just wrong. Spain never assigned a alliance treaty with the US, and nether it participated in the "main conflict", all its alliance was with France and all its dwellings were with France too. About this being a separate conflict, when I came back with some time I'll show a dozen article~s where wars by countries are treated in separate. SuffrenXXI (talk) 20:04, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

About other wars being treated as separated articles from broad subjects:

Finnish War

Third Anglo-Dutch War

Fourth Anglo-Dutch War

Anglo-French War (1627–29)

Anglo-Spanish War (1796–1808)

Anglo-Spanish War (1762–63)

Anglo-Spanish War (1654–60)

Anglo-Spanish War (1625–30)

Neapolitan War

Anglo-Turkish War (1807–09)

Anglo-Russian War (1807–12)

Swedish–Norwegian War (1814)

Anglo-Swedish War (1810–12)

There's plenty more, just got those in a 30 secs search. As anyone can see, they are all pretty valid and common practice everywhere. Americans should not be so touch about this one specifically. SuffrenXXI (talk) 03:02, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Combatants

The Spanish should be listed on the article.

Treaties of Versailles, not Treaty of Versailles

This is only a minor issue, but the Treaty of Versailles was the treaty that ended WW1, while the Treaties of Versailles ended the 1778-1783 war between Britain in France. Maybe to avoid confusion, call it the Treaty of Paris. This is in the results piece in the short information box.
