Question

In the american revolution, a disorganized group of thirteen colonies bested the strongest military power in the world. Why did the rebels win the American Revolution?

Answer 1

The Anerican revolution was mainly the revolt of 13 colonies which took place between 1765 and 1783.In this war, the colonial group defeated Britishers with the help of France.As a result of the war, United states of America was established. The colonial group states that there would be no taxation without representation. This was because of the reason that the colonists doesnot have any representation in the governing body. There was one incident known as Boston massacre when Britishers fired colonists resulting in death of 5 colonists.Another incident was Boston Tea party where 342 chests of tea was dumped into Boston Harbour by Bostonians .It results in severe actions taken by Britishers. There were many reasons which results in the victory of the colonies:

1. The colonies were fighting for their freedom and country. Because of this reason they give their best for the freedom of their country and to establish their own country. Even sometimes they felt that they were losing,still they fought with full enthusiasm.

2. Another reason was that Britishers had to take support from their own country and Britain was 3,000 miles away.It took almost 3 months for them to bring their army force.This was advantageous for the 13 colonies.

3. The Britishers had a large navy but for army they took the support of Germans. The Germans were paid in order to fight.This also added fuel to the fire.The colonial groups were very angry that Britishers were not using their own army.

4. There were many Loyal groups who were ready to support Britishers against colonists but Britishers were not ready to trust them.This was also a reason for the victory of 13 colonies.

5. The Americans had learnt the guerrilla tactics during the war with India. It helped them during the war with Britishers.They knew when to attack,when to hide in the forest.

6. The support from France,Spain and Netherland changed the entire picture. This was one of the crucial reason for the victory of Americans.France supported Americans in 1778 and civil war turned into international conflict.

7. One of the most important factor was the participation of labourers, artisans,farmers for national cause had changed the entire picture .Thousands of ordinary Americans fully devoted them in the revolution.

All these factors ultimately results in the victory of 13 colonies.But with a passage of time, United states of America was formed.Today America is seen as one of the most powerful country in the world.
