The American Colonists only won the Revolutionary War because of four reasons.

1. France

France supplied the American Revolutionaries and had ships rival the British fleet. France played a crucial role in blocking off Yorktown's river so that British reinforcements couldn't get into Yorktown to help the surviving British soldiers.

2. Guerilla Warfare

This means that regular citizens in the colonies got arms and just started shooting redcoats. These people were called Minutemen because they could get ready for a battle in a minute. American colonists rose up and arms to fight off the British for freedom.

3. Knowing the Terrain

One of the main reasons Britain lost their colonies was because their soldiers didn't know the terrain as well as American colonists. Back then, America was mostly trees so redcoats had to go through dense forests. Because of the forests, the raid to cut off New England colonies from the rest of the colonies was a failure, American snipers picking off soldiers, native guides, and even generals. Great Britain also was used to fighting in open terrains so their formations didn't help them in these forests.

4. Britain Arrogance

The monarchs in Great Britain thought the war could be won in a day so they didn't really prepare for a very long war. When they finally realized that they couldn't win quickly, they had to rely on German soldiers that they paid to work for them.

Why did the Spanish continue to explore and settle other Caribbean islands?
sweet [91]

Answer:

First, the islands came to be used for growing sugar. The islands were also important because of how rich the mainland of Spanish America was. There was silver, in Mexico and Peru and it had to get shipped to Spain each year. It went through the Caribbean to get there.

Explanation:

The Europeans came to the Caribbean in search of wealth. The Spanish had originally looked for gold and silver, but there was little to be found. Instead, the Europeans tried growing different crops to be sold back home. The islands of the Caribbean were discovered by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, working for the then Spanish monarchy. In 1492 he made a first landing on Hispaniola and claimed it for the Spanish crown as he did on Cuba.

natulia [17]

Answer: A way to keep plantations running.

Explanation:

Slavery played a fundamental role during the American Civil War. Most of the South's slaves were used in the plantations. During and before the Civil War, slaves fought for their own freedom, and many of them fled from servitude during the war.

Slavery was the main reason for secession, primarily for the Southern opposition to the efforts by Northern antislavery political powers to prevent the development of slavery in western states.
