The American Revolutionary War was a war between the United Colonies of America and their "Mother Country," which was Great Britain. It was also a war between settlers in western parts of the colonies and some native American tribes. And was also a civil war between supporters of independence, later called Patriots, and those who were loyal to the British Empire, called Tories and, later, Empire Loyalists.
