German traitors
The British employed help from the German Hessians
The British soldiers realized the situation was about to explode and called for help.
in the 1st world war we were called tommys, does that help?

I presume you mean in the American Revolutionary War. The answer is for the money; they were paid by the British to fight for them. That is, the rulers who controlled the German mercenary units were paid. The actual mercenary soldiers were drafted or volunteered for military service, but not specifically to fight for the British.
King George came from a German line and because of that used German soldiers in the Colonies to help try to gain British control back. The people in the colonies were very receptive and kind to the German soldiers housing them and feeding. Many German solider never went back to Germany.

No Because The British Treated The French Poorly.
