The exact number that fought in the actual revolutionary war is not known however there are many estimates around 200,000 at one point or another fought.. The final number of American casualties was around 50,000.. An estimated 25,000 died in battle throughout the years.. And estimated 17,000 died of diseases specially those who were prisoners of wars held captive in prison ships..

The total of British soldiers that served is not known as it couldve been anywhere from 250,000 to 500,000 including officers, conscripts, and mercenaries.. About 170,000 of them were seamen in the navy and about half of them had been pressed into service.. However there is no realible and accurate statistic on how many total British died..

Also theres no accurate statistic for how many Spanish, French, and Native Americans died..

Oh and as far as the Germans they lost about 1,300 in battle and additionally about 7,000 died from disease.. Approximately 16,000 Germans returned home however about 5,000 remained in America for several reasons and many of them eventually became American citizens..

What country did you fight during the American Revolution?

I did not fight any country during the American Revolution; it occurred nearly two centuries before I was born. If the question is asking who the national combatants were in the American Revolution, see the Related Question below. If you mean America, the Americans fought the British government, and a few native Indian tribes that were allied to the British. The embroynic US however, were not 100% and many Americans fought with the British.
