You could likewise say about the United States; "You had the most advanced military on earth, you had nuclear weapons, you defeated Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan *simultaneously* and so on and yet you couldn't defeat half a third world country of rice farmers? Seriously?"<br /><br />The will was simply lacking. Even after the disaster at Yorktown, Britain still held the most key strategic points, the major ports and had naval supremacy. They still had large numbers of troops in the field and the primary army had not been defeated. However, with no clear path to victory in sight, France, Spain and Holland joining forces against them, Lord North's government fell and the British just didn't want to keep fighting. It's happened to most major powers.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-72097674739469027102015-07-05T19:56:45.199-05:002015-07-05T19:56:45.199-05:00Dear Britain,
