What country did you fight during the American Revolution?

I did not fight any country during the American Revolution; it occurred nearly two centuries before I was born. If the question is asking who the national combatants were in the American Revolution, see the Related Question below. If you mean America, the Americans fought the British government, and a few native Indian tribes that were allied to the British. The embroynic US however, were not 100% and many Americans fought with the British.


Why did the Native Americans unite under Pontiac to fight the British?

Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa led forces with many allies to fight the British.
