Invasion of Minorca (1781)
The Franco-Spanish reconquest of Menorca (historically called "Minorca" by the British) from the British in February 1782, after the Siege of Fort St. Philip lasting over five months, was an important step in the achievement of Spain's aims in its alliance with France against Britain during the American Revolutionary War. The ultimate result was the devolution of the island to Spain in the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
