Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Franco-Spanish reconquest of Menorca (historically called "Minorca" in English) 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.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

La toma de Menorca (del 19 de agosto de 1781 al 5 de febrero de 1782) fue un enfrentamiento bélico entre tropas británicas y una coalición de fuerzas españolas y francesas por el control de la isla de Menorca (parte del archipiélago balear). El conflicto, vinculado con el desarrollo de la guerra de Independencia de los Estados Unidos, se saldó con la victoria del ejército hispano-francés, y supuso el retorno de la isla a la corona española, hecho ratificado en 1783 en el Tratado de París.
