The Americans did not have a chance against the British because the Americans were small while the
British had a military, and they had controlled them. They had to call on the countries that they knew
could beat British their enemies France and Spain. “They helped them by providing aid in the form of
supplies, weapons, military leaders, and soldiers.” They wanted to help because Britain had become big
and powerful m in Europe and the remaining world. France and Spain saw Britain as their rival. By
helping America, they were also damaging the British. They wanted to get their revenge also France and
Spain had lost the Seven a War against Britain. France and Spain hoped to regain some territory they
had lost on the war the with the British and gain a new trade partner in the United States. “The British
surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781 the Americans had basically won their independence.” I
believe they only won by the help there was no way they could’ve done it alone they didn’t have enough
resources to do so. The France and Spain played a big help. This was a historical event and very
important because bit was the start of the united states.
