America gained its independence because of poor British policy in Europe. Just compare the triumph in Canada against the French in 1759, when France was occupied in Europe, with the defeat in the American Revolutionary War, when Britain's isolation from Europe allowed France to use her navy to help the Americans. Anyway, Britain could easily have avoided the war with America if it had been a tad more reasonable. It's fun to think "what if". I think America would have gained independence slowly and peacefully by about 1810.

How were the economies of Latin American colonies and European countries connect by trade?

Latin American countries were not industrialized but produced raw materials - agricultural, timber, metals and so on. The European countries needed these for their continuous wars and since the second half of the 18th century, for their industrialization efforts. So, European countries imported these commodities, returning processed goods to pay for them. The profits remained in Europe and Latin America remained undeveloped.


Which countries did not support the colonists in the revolutionary war?

During the American Revolutionary War, countries like Great Britain, Spain, and France had varying degrees of involvement or stance. While Great Britain directly opposed the colonists, Spain was initially neutral but later provided covert support to undermine British efforts. Additionally, other European nations, such as Austria and Prussia, largely remained uninvolved in the conflict, focusing on their own regional issues. Overall, the primary opposition came from Britain, which sought to maintain control over the colonies.
