	Although technically correct, "American revolutionary battles" is a little misleading. Most of these encounters were between Britain and either France or Spain who both happened to support the American colonists. No Americans were involved in the battles. I did learn some things from the quiz and the research it provoked me to do.

	Accept St Vincent for St Vincent and the Grenadines.

	I'm not so sure I agree with this quiz as titled and agree with chriskotx that it should be changed. Most of these battles are not considered part of the American Revolution but were rather part of the British empire's global war against France and her allies. While they did impact that England's actions in the colonies, they were part of a different war. Calling those American revolutionary war battles would be like titling a quiz "1848 European uprisings" and including the Mexican-American War.

	@christkotx i agree but what should I call it since I can't find an offical name besides American Revolutionary War for the battles in the carribbean, europe, africa & asia. @bsd987 I disagree tecnically there all part of the same war its like calling the war in europe and the war in asia in world war 2 as different unrealted wars

	The American Revolutionary War wound up ballooning into another British-French global war that grew directly out of France siding with the colonists, so it is one continuous war. But the title does imply battles involving Americans, so maybe rephrase it like "battles of the American Revolutionary War(s)?"

	I wouldn't say technically they are part of the same war. Arguably they are. But the American revolution refers solely to the struggle for independence of the colonies that now make up the United States. Battles in South Africa between the British and the Dutch, while arguably part of the same overall war, were in no way part of the American revolution. I'm not sure what the title should be, but those are not battles of the American revolution.
