Answer 1

The reasons the colonists won the Revolutionary War include:

1. They understood the local geography. - The colonists had a better understanding of the terrain, which was advantageous in battles and guerrilla tactics.

2. France and Spain provided support. - The military and financial assistance from France, and to a lesser extent Spain, was crucial in helping the colonists achieve victory against Great Britain.

(While having more experienced soldiers and officers also played a role, many of the Continental Army's officers had limited military experience compared to British regulars.)
