Despite Great Britain’s massive military advantages, there were several reasons that they lost the Revolution. When the English lost at the Battle of Saratoga, the Colonists gained their biggest advantage; the French. Not only did France help support the patriot troops, but thanks to the efforts of Marquis de Lafayette, they also gained French troops and ships. This put the colonists at a massive advantage that played a significant role in England’s loss. In addition to this, the colonists were devoutly persistent in their revolutionary efforts after declaring independence. After July of 1776, there was no turning back. The patriot rebellion was driven by anger, and extremely powerful motives, whereas the British were driven mostly by fear of economic loss. This also contributed to England's loss during this time. More specific factors such as George Washington and Baron Von Steuben also aided the colonists greatly, resulting in British loss.

One advantage would be that Britain had to come to us. Home play advantage gave us an edge since we were fighting from our homes in an attempt to stop the British from taking our freedom.
