The American Revolution proved the stronger Nation not only in spirit but also in willpower. Each side had their advantages and weakness's but I want to talk about Great Britain's points. First off, Great Britain is an entire international Empire, having colonies in lands from the Caribbean to India. At the time, they were known as one of the most, if not the most, dangerous and threatening nations of its time. With superior naval power, England ruled the seas of trade and in war. Great Britain also had a plethora of recourses due to their Empire. Americans had significantly less guns, ammo, uniforms, food and people than Great Britain. As mighty as they seemed, Great Britain suffered many weaknesses too. They were not in a good position for winning this war against American colonists. They wanted to defeat America, but not badly enough that they wouldn't want to be in the colony after having independence struck from them. They also had to be on the offense at all times. They couldn't play defense in the homeland (America wasn't going to sail across the atlantic to attack, they just stayed in the colonies) . Overall, Great Britain, I believe, had the harder time to win the war. It was a glorious battle though. #USA #Freedom
