Fort Mark is the British name for the star-shaped Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine.

The geopolitical landscape of the American Revolution was deeply rooted in the aftermath of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763). A global conflict primarily pitting Great Britain and Prussia against France, Austria, and Russia, with Spain joining the Bourbon alliance later in the war.
