the site or passage might you with your question!
explanation:
by the time of the onset of the american revolution, britain had attained the status of a military and economic superpower. the thirteen american colonies were one part of a global empire generated by the british in a series of colonial wars beginning in the late seventeenth century and continuing on to the mid eighteenth century. the british military establishment increased relentlessly in size during this period as it engaged in the nine years war (1688-97), the war of spanish succession (1702-13), the war of austrian succession (1739-48), and the seven years war (1756-63). these wars brought considerable additions to the british empire. in north america alone the british victory in the seven years war resulted in france ceding to britain all of its territory east of the mississippi river as well as all of canada and spain surrendering its claim to florida (nester, 2000).
given the sheer magnitude of the british military and its empire, the actions taken by the american colonists for independence have long fascinated scholars. why did the colonists want independence? how were they able to achieve a victory over what was at the time the world’s preeminent military power? what were the consequences of achieving independence? these and many other questions have engaged the attention of economic, legal, military, political, and social historians. in this brief essay we will focus only on the economics of the revolutionary war. so yes, the united states did force to resort in order to pay the cost of the revolution. ur welcome : )
