Question

What advantages helped the Americans win the Revolutionary War?

Answer 1

Hint: The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also identified as the Revolutionary War or the American War of Independence, was started by delegates from thirteen British American colonies in Congress against Great Britain because of their disagreements with Parliament's taxation policy and lack of colonial representation.

Complete answer:
The Colonists' spy network was a major advantage in their success over the British. The Colonists had an underground intelligence network in British-occupied New York, consisting of informants who pretended to be British soldiers or were revolutionaries trapped in the city keeping a close eye on British officers.

They used invisible ink to send letters to each other (and, eventually, to George Washington). The troops were warned of what were meant to be surprise attacks because of this vital detail. This influenced the outcome of the war.

Another advantage was that the colonists defeated the well-trained British armies in the American Revolution as they formed an alliance with France, who sent in generals (including Marquis de Lafayette) to train and discipline the colonist troops. By providing improved guns (bayonets), new training, and, most notably, a new disciplined mindset, the French helped the colonists improve their odds. Because of their brilliant tactics, supportive allies from another nation, and most notably, their zeal for independence, the Colonists were able to beat the British during the American Revolution.

Note: There would almost certainly be no United States of America today if the colonists had lost the battle. Although the British had won the Revolution, the colonists would not have settled in the Midwest of the United States.
