No I personally couldn't have but... It is completely hypothetical but some say, yes, the war could have been avoided. It is important to note that the Revolutionary War had its roots back a century to the Glorious Revolution of England, when King Charles I threatened to make New England a royal colony under his direct control. However over the next century, the English turned to a "salutary neglect" policy which left the colonies to govern themselves. You know the rest when King George attempted to recontrol and restrict the economy and government of the colonies in the 1760s and 1770s. This started the war. There are a few schools of thought of how King George could have regained control over the colonies without causing rebellion. 1. England could have continued its policy of "salutary neglect" and loosened its reign over the colonies, allowing them to become a sort of commonwealth. Hopefully, this would encourage loyalty to the crown, but it would have not been as profitable. 2. One radical thought is that England could have allowed partial independence to the New England colonies, where the rebellion began. After all, the South tended to be more sympathic to the English.

Unless faced with total slaughter; any war can be avoided. War is simply the obtaining of a political goal by other than political means.
Definitions:
1. If a peoples is going to be slaughtered anyway...no matter what they say or do, then there will be war (simply to survive).
2. If a peoples want something done, and their adversary does it, then no war. If they don't do it, then it's war (obtaining a political objective by other than a political way).
No, I don't think so. The British took a view that the colonies were spoiled children and needed to be spanked. In doing so they shut the door on any conversation about what was wrong and how to correct it. The distance between the two also was getting greater because more and more people saw themselves as American and not British.
The American Revolution could of been avoided if king George said yes when the colonize ask to. But inside he said "No". This is how the American revolutin started.
Probably not, unless Britain didn't take the colonies in the first place. You'd be a bit pissed if someone took your country.
