In the United States, France and the United States are beginning to bargain. France has a long history in history. The earliest cooperation between the two countries began with the American War of Independence.

The United States claimed that the American War of Independence was the first large-scale liberation war in the history of the colonial people for national independence and freedom and democracy. It was the earliest and greatest true liberation war in human history. The American War of Independence put the free philosophy of the European Enlightenment into practice on a large scale, reflecting a new and progressive political spirit and values.

North American military and civilians eventually defeated the British Empire, the world's largest industrial country with a population of nearly 10,000, with 13 North American states with a population of only 2 million.

A young country with in short supply and no navy, with only one-half to one-tenth of the other's population, can defeat the old colonial country. Is it really "justice will win"?

According to data from the American War of Independence, during the entire War of Independence period, except for 1775-1776 and 1781-1782, the total strength of the Continental Army was decreasing. In the same year as the last battle of independence in North America, the Battle of Yorktown, the total strength of the Continental Army suddenly decreased by about one-third.

If you just look at the numbers, you can't see the posture of "the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves". This is obviously different from what we usually know about the Continental Army in at least 1777, not a strategic counterattack). After a great victory, it was a great victory and a great victory, and it was very different from the process from victory to victory.

In contrast, the changes in the British military and local forces during the same period.

The year when the War of Independence broke out, there were only more than 6,000 British troops stationed in the thirteen states in North America. The total strength of the Continental Army was 380 more than the total strength of the entire UK during the same period. The Bunker Mountain battle, which the Americans were very proud of, took place in this year. If we only look at the process of that battle, we really thought that the Americans won the more with less.

In the next two years, the British's military strength in the thirteen North American states grew rapidly. The well-known victory of Saratoga occurred in 1777, but we found that from 1778, the British regular troops sent to the thirteen North American states doubled. Obviously, the Saratoga victory was not at least militaryally any "turning point" of the North American War of Independence that is usually advocated.

The figures after 1778 are even more surprising. Britain's total military force in the North American continent showed a downward trend, while its total military force in the West Indies showed an abnormal growth during the same period.

It is obvious that the American myths intentionally or unintentionally concealed the fact that the British ground forces were weaker than the traditional land power France. Even in terms of Britain's strength and naval strength, Britain's maritime advantage after France joined the war in 1778, and the country's maritime advantage had at least numbers turned into disadvantages. After reading the author's addition, I don't know how many people would have doubts about the victory of the North American War of Independence. There is nothing strange now. After 1778, the British troops in North America did not increase but decreased, while the troops in the West Indies rose sharply because of the rapid increase in the number of troops.
