Question 20

Why do you think America won against the British

Answer 20

I think the reason that America won the war against the Great forces and warfare of the British was because of the contrast between the two forces.
America used guerrilla warfare which was one of the most effective ways to fight the British.
The British force was more trained in warfare and fighting, having the strongest Navy in the world.
But Britain was unfamiliar to the military tactics the guerrilla group used with ambushes, raids and “protests” such as the tea protest, where the Americans called for the British to lower the unfair taxes. This was what America could use to their advantage. As they knew the weak and strong points of their country, they could fight the British with effective tactics the British weren’t familiar with, - they would easily lose if it were a usual battle
