Several different Commander-in-Chiefs led the British Military in America. General Thomas Gage led the British at the beginning during 1775. Then Richard Howe took over with his brother, William Howe, as Admiral of the Navy. Sir Henry Clinton took command in 1778 until 1782 when Sir Guy Carleton commanded for the remainder of the war.

Other notable leaders include John Burgoyne and Charles Cornwallis.

George the Third reigned as King of England throughout the war.
