All of these were reasons why Britain did not win the war against the American rebels except:
A. General Washington's military strategy of prolonging the war by constantly retreating inland made it difficult for Britain to re-supply its troops.
B. The colonial rebels were able to take military advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and water formations where battles occurred.
C. Other European nations eventually came to America's aid.
D. Britain's army was not prepared for the guerilla-style warfare of the colonists.
E. The British army's hierarchy of authority broke down in the unfamiliar foreign land.
Answer (2)
The question asks which reason did not contribute to Britain's failure in the American Revolutionary War. The answer is E, suggesting that while command issues existed, Britain maintained operational control despite challenges. Other factors such as military strategy, terrain familiarity, and European support played significant roles in their defeat. ;
The answer to the question is option E, indicating that while there were command challenges for the British army, they maintained operational control during the American Revolutionary War. The other listed reasons—Washington's military strategy, knowledge of terrain by rebels, European support, and guerrilla tactics—played significant roles in Britain's difficulties and eventual defeat. Therefore, option E is the only option that does not accurately reflect a reason for Britain's loss.
