Was the Atlantic such a costly burden for the Bongs to travel and send logistics and troops through that the Revolution was a destined failure or could they realistically have won if they just had better tact and luck?
It wasn't just them vs the Colonies, it was them vs the Colonies + Spain + France. They would be fighting an uphill battle regardless of logistics
They had just faught the 7 years war and were bankrupt,they fielded a tiny budget army and lost because of atritional/asymetrical warfare

>>18532525Britain could not devote too many military resources to the war; troops had to be left to watch Ireland and if the Royal Navy moves too many ships out of home waters, then France will take advantage to invade England.
The biggest issue wasn’t the French or any of the other dumb excuses browns like to trot out to deflate Big Bad America. The biggest problem was there was a large contingent of Englishman sympathetic to the colonist’s cause.
