No. They had no Italian mercenaries, but did have Germans. The king asked Catherine the Great to send Russian troops, but she refused.

What advantages did the British have during the lexington and Concord battle?

At the beginning of the American Revolutionary War the British had the advantage that they were in control. They held power. The Americans did not yet want independence just relief from arbitrary rule, or a return to the way things were in 1763. The British had a strong government to make war choices (the colonies had no official one now that they declared their independence), they were well supplied, they had many more troops, and the troops were well trained. The British had an advantage as the American Revolution began because they had trained and experienced troops.

Why did the Hessians fight in the war?

The Hessians were auxilliary troops from Hess, a state in what is now Germany (The term "Hessian" is now used to refer to all German troops deployed by the Crown in the American Revolution, although not all of them were necessarily from Hess). They were most notably "rented" out by their rulers to the British during the American revolution. A large number of these young soldiers 'deserted' from their units when they left to go back to Germany and settled in the American colonies. Many of those joined the Pennsylvania Dutch communities to be with fellow German speakers. Thus, many modern day Americans of German descent can trace their roots back to the Hessians.

Were there us vets as mercenaries in the Vietnam war?

Most probably not. US mercenaries operating in a CZ (Combat Zone) which contains massive amounts of US troops would not be profitable (nor healthy) for a "soldier of fortune." Money (or other fortunes) are worthless to dead mercenaries. The closest were the CIA operatives (Ravens, etc.). Mercenaries traditionally do well where both survival & profits go hand in hand; which largely means operating in an area which does not contain large numbers of opposing GOVERNMENT armies. Mercenaries thrive in regions that are normally "un-civilized", which enables them to "basically do as they want" or "need to do" to collect that paycheck.
