They had weapons, their societies were separated, which made it easier for them to take over
It helped because it enabled other fronts to open up because the American Offensive in the area ended with a victory, which meant that they could move to other areas and bother Germans there. They didn't' do this however because the fighting ended since the Germans became aware of their losses and signed an armistice.

The Decleration of Independence does uphold the political principles because with out it or country would still be suffering for the lack of money and freedom because of Europe's greed. For example, imagine the U.S. becoming a country like South Africa. We would be poor and helpless because we would have no independence and the right to agree to trading and developing a economic system in general. So my overall arguement stands to show that I support the Decleration of Independence and that it upholds all of Americans political values.
