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)
The overweight rambling lead is unfortunately a bit of a common problem. I would do something to fix it (this is one of my usual topics) but alas I’m not keen to blow my cover here! It might get a tidy-up if you lobby for it hard enough on the talk page. Alternatively, consider doing it yourself, just make sure to announce your plans first.
That’s why I’m not doing the edit either…
