Of the many things that helped the Americans prevail over the British, it was the aid of the French that was most crucial. After 1777, the French gave the Americans money, material, and military manpower. - French Military Assistance
The Mexican government tried to prevent Americans from taking over Texas by implementing laws to limit American immigration, increasing military presence in the region, and enforcing stricter control over the territory.
Agent Orange was distributed over Vietnam in aeroplanes from big tanks which sprayed the gas all over the forests to defoliate them so the Americans could see where the Vietcong were. Unfortunately a lot of the Agent Orange contaminated rain water which was then drunk by the Vietnamese civilians and lead to severe birth defects.

The Vietcong had planned for the war years in advance. First, they prepared their supply lines. They built the Ho Chi Minh Trail. It was not one road but a series of extremely narrow roads that merged and separated. The bridges were built underwater so they were not visible from the air. Thus they had simple supply lines with lots of built in redundancy. Second, they dug out caves to hide their solders. Thus their solders would hide during the day and come out during the night to fight. The caves also held their supplies and hospitals. Third, the Vietcong used extremely simple weapons. The AK-47 rifle is designed so that it will not jam. Thus a Vietcong could get mud all over his rifle and it would still work. It was not a fine crafted piece of machinery like the American weapons. Fourth, the Vietcong used weapons that took bullets and other ammunition one millimeter larger than American weapons. Thus, if the Vietcong captured American ammunition, they could use it. If the Americans captured Vietcong ammunition, it was worthless. Fifth, the Vietcong would kill the money lenders. In Asian societies many people owe money at a high rate of interest. The Vietcong would break that cycle. They would show the local people how they would deliver them from their oppression. Sixth, the Vietcong listened to American Generals talk. One American general said, "The Vietcong anti aircraft guns can not go over 6,000 feet. We will be safe if we fly at 10,000 feet. The Vietcong knew American airplanes would fly at 10,000 feet. They put their anti-aircraft guns on top of 6,000 feet high mountains. The guns would reach 12,000 feet. When a plane flew over at 10,000 feet, they would shoot it down.
The Americans had great armies

The Americans had several advantages over the British during the Revolutionary War, including strong motivation and a unified cause for independence, which inspired greater commitment among the troops. They also benefited from familiar terrain, utilizing guerrilla tactics that leveraged their knowledge of the land. Additionally, the Americans had the support of foreign allies, particularly France, which provided crucial military assistance and resources. Lastly, the decentralized nature of American forces allowed for more adaptable and flexible strategies against the more traditional British military approach.
