And that changes what exactly? The French entered the war late and made a difference, true, but we were already on the up side, if not winning, at least fighting to a draw.You can thank the French for helping save our asses in that little war.Dumb fuck...They said the same thing in 1770....how'd that work out for you? American's don't lay down and they don't quit.

This against what was at that time, the most powerful and battle tested army in the world.
Never think that a civilian populace can just be defeated in short order. Not when there are 100 million people with 300 million guns.
Even if the French decided not to enter, and the Patriot LOST every battle from that point onwards, they still would have WON the war.
At best, King George would have retained control over the cities, but the 18th Century suburbs and the rural regions would have been overwhelmed with Patriots, making trade and other businesses/affairs all but impossible outside of the cities themselves. Food imports would have ceased, the Soldiers occupying those cities would have been forced to leave the cities to pillage food from the countryside (and then be destroyed by the well fed Patriot militias).
Investigate the history of the THIRD AMENDMENT to confirm the veracity of the above statement.
