Question

Why didn't the European system of fighting a war work in America?

Answer 1

Fought between 1775 and 1783, the American Revolutionary War / American War of Independence was primarily a conflict between the British Empire and some of its American colonists, who triumphed and created a new nation: the United States of America. France played a vital role in aiding the colonists, but accrued great debt in doing so, partly causing the French Revolution.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Americans were fighting for independence against the British.

Explanation:

The American colonies had declared war on the British in the early 1800s. This was after the British were seizing the ships that were meant to ship cargo to the mainland France. However, France had been British enemy in Europe for a while. Hence, Britain felt it had the right to stop the passage of goods to the enemies. In addition, prior to that, America had fought against the British in the American war and declared independence between 1775 and 1783.
