- Capture_of_Grenada_(1779) abstract "The Capture of Grenada was an amphibious expedition in July 1779 by French forces of the comte D'Estaing against the British-held West Indies island of Grenada during the American War of Independence. Having landed on 2 July, the French forces assaulted British fortifications on Hospital Hill, overlooking the island capital Saint George's on the night of 3–4 July. Cannons captured there were turned against Fort George, and Governor Lord Macartney opened negotiations to surrender.Admiral d'Estaing controversially rejected Macartney's terms of capitulation, insisting on adoption of the harsh terms he had written. Macartney rejected these, choosing instead to surrender unconditionally. D'Estaing thereafter permitted his forces to loot the town, and Macartney was sent to France as a prisoner of war.French forces were reembarked on the fleet on 5 July when word arrived that a British fleet under Admiral John Byron was approaching. The two fleets battled the next day, with the French severely damaging several British ships. Both fleets then returned to their bases. Grenada was returned to British control at the end of the war, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris.".
