The support of France was an important factor. The French Navy had a large affect on the surrender at Yorktown, as they prevented the British from being able to evacuate by sea. Lafayette was a big help.

Should the American Revolution be called the British revolution because marked changes in British colonial policy were more responsible for the final political division?

It was the people of the 13 Colonies who fought for and gained their freedom; it was THEIR revolution, their victory and their freedom. Now, it so happens that the colonies were provoked by the British government, which later learned a thing or two from the events of 1775-83, but that doesn't make it their revolution. In fact, the thinking behind it is odd. Would it occur to you to call the slaves' rebellion in Haiti 'French', for example? Yes, it's true. British policy changed following the American Revolution, but it SHOULD be called the American Revolution, because it was the AMERICANS who revolted.

1778 and North America would correspond to the American Revolution where 13 of the British/American colonies were seeking independence from Britain (Canada was a British/American colony that wasn't particularly interested in independence). The French were not initially convinced that the Rebel forces could succeed in the American Revolution, but after the Battle of Saratoga, the French leadership changed their minds and began contributing to the Rebels.
