~Depending on which dates you select for the prosecution of the War for American Independence (it was NOT a revolution), there were either 3 or 4 or 5 of them. Just pop British Prime Ministers into a search engine and you can find their names and dates in office. Tuff job, that. Hey, if you're too lazy to do your own homework, here they are:
Lord Oliver North - 1770 to 1782
Lord Archibald Easten - 1782
Earl Syndey Shelburne - 1782-83
Duke Winston Portland - 1783
William Pitt (the Younger) 1783/1801
As to which ones you use, it depends on if you terminate the war with Parliament's edict to stop fighting, the signing of the Treaty of Paris, the ratification of the treaty or the exchange of ratified signed copies. I'll leave it to you to figure that part out, as well as to find the various dates.
Of course, if you refer to the Glorious Revolution, there wasn't one, the modern office of Prime Minister not have been created until 1721. The same is true of the English Revolution.
