It was both plus a lot of other things including luck, but I doubt the Francophiles will agree.we are speaking English fuck chop.If it weren't for the French, US citizens would be speaking English.America is huge.What if the Russians had a build up in Mexico and then started to move into the US? What if the Chinese? What if they moved in military vehicles? Would we stop the invasion?
However if the chinese invaded, and it would have to be them, mexico would ally with them for land, France and French Canada would surrender to them, but they would be stopped inside the border states.
Strong military presence there and enough guns so that every man, woman and child could have 6.
and no, the French didn't come to the rescue, they were talked into it, easily, b/c they just wanted any excuse to stick it to England.
You missed out on the real reason we won the Revolutionary war
It was not the Minutemen with their muskets but the French with their fleet
Digital History
Perhaps the single most important reason for the patriot victory was the breadth of popular support for the Revolution. The Revolution would have failed miserably without the participation of thousands of ordinary farmers, artisans, and laborers who put themselves into the line of fire. The Revolution's support cut across region, religion, and social rank. Common farmers, artisans, shopkeepers, petty merchants were major actors during the Revolution. Ex-servants, uneducated farmers, immigrants, and slaves emerged into prominence in the Continental Army.
A lie as I just displayed.Actually, it is the right who is trying to rewrite history to match its agenda
The left is merely keeping you honest
Who else was going to fill the roles in the Continental Army? Patriotism? Of course you can't have a revolution without the support of the people
But where did all that patriotism get us? We were engaged in defensive battles that prolonged the war but did not lead to victory. The British took any city they wished to occupy? Why? Because they had a fleet and we didn't
It was not until the French entered the war with a fleet that could keep the British in check that the British finally withdrew
