Answer:
There's a popular belief that Americans fought and won the entire revolution with nothing but guerrilla warfare. That's not true, and the myth largely stems from how the war began. The very first military engagement between British and American forces occurred on April 19 of 1775. American militia men had been covertly transporting weapons and colonial government leaders from town to town, hiding them from the British army. The British heard about these stockpiles in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord and went to seize them. The American volunteers of these town gathered together to oppose the British, resulting in a brief skirmish. As the British beat a hasty retreat back towards Boston, American militia units basically popped out of the bushes along the entire road, shot a few volleys, and disappeared. It wasn't enough to decimate the British, but the British weren't prepared for it, and it drove them back.

Imagine that you are in charge of leading a small army of volunteer soldiers against the largest and most powerful professional army in the world. Are you going to march straight into battle? Not if you expect it to be a very long one!
For centuries, small armies have relied on guerrilla warfare to help even the odds. This includes non-traditional wartime tactics like ambushing, sabotage, and raids rather than direct engagements. Guerrilla warfare is not meant to really defeat an opponent; instead, the idea is to make the war drag on and become so expensive that your adversary gives up. It's the different between fighting a professional boxer versus a swarm of mosquitoes - the mosquitoes won't kill you, but they just may drive you away.
Amongst the many armies to try out these tactics were the American colonists fighting for their independence. The American Revolution was a conflict between a group of volunteers and a massive professional army. Did they think they could defeat Britain, the heavyweight champion of European colonialism? Maybe not, but while Britain prepared to defend its title, it was the colonists who learned how to 'float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.'

All of these are often considered as examples of "charismatic' leaders.
This means that their character and leadership impacted the masses greatly with their charisma and that separates them form common people or leaders.
Scholars and politicians disagree on this question, and both sides have arguments of value. However, the attitude most democratic countries have adopted is that of thinking they DO have responsibilities towards less developed countries. They provide several arguments for this position:
- Most developed democracies engaged in colonialism. The countries that were colonized provided colonial powers with resources and a labour force that contributed to their development. Therefore, rich countries developed at the expense of developing countries.
- A related point is the fact that after decolonization, most powers left without any plan to maintain order. The chaos they left behind has made it difficult for some countries to recover (often including the destruction of previous culture, values, ways of government, etc. that used to maintain order in the communities).
- The Earth's resources belong to all of humanity, and redistribution is justified on these grounds.
- A humanitarian argument. We have a duty to help those people who are suffering, regardless of whether they are our neighbours or not.
