If that answers your question, I would be glad to answer more. And. that is most likely why Americans won the Revolutionary war. At first you yourself would think 50,000 British soldiers, against 17,000 unprepared Americans. -------Kevin =P
The Continental Army wore no uniforms-- only their everyday clothes. Many had no guns, so they carried spears and axes. Some had fought in the French and Indian War, but most had no military experience. Many were farmers who had just enlisted signed up, for duty in the army.
The British army was made up of professional soldiers with training and experience. The British army also had thousands of mercenaries hired solders.
The British army fought the Continental Army (American Army).
they had the same fighting tactics and they both fired the Brown Bess Muskett
The Continental Army and the British Army were significantly different in their organizational structure, levels of experience, and funding. The Continental Army was an undisciplined, unprepared fighting force with makeshift uniforms and sloppy tactics (at least at the beginning of the war).
They were both army's, they had the same fighting tactics, and they both fired the Brown Bess Muskett
No. The Continental army that fought the British was organized under a confederacy of colonies (later becoming states under the articles of confederation). The Union army wasn't born until the US constitution was ratified in 1787.
NO
The British army and the Turkish army has the same strength
The same as every other army - they fought.
"The Territorial Army of the UK was formed in 1908, while the same army in India was formed by the british in 1917."
The result of the Battle of Monmouth was inconclusive. The Continental Army of the US lost 350 to 500 killed, wounded, or captured. The British had about the same casualties.
The men in the continental army were literate and committed to the cause. They did not need the same close supervision as the British Solders. When they understood what to do, they would do it and not wait for orders if none were forthcoming. The men in the continental army knew and used Indian tactics. Americans did not follow European Rules of Engagement. They would shoot the British officers and the common solders had no idea what to do. The loss of an American Officer did not cause any such problem. The Americans knew the land. They knew birch and other roots provided vitamin C in winter. The English army could not function in winter.
It was the first major battle in the Battle of New York and New Jersey which saw the fledgling Continental Army driven into Pennsylvania by the British.
the british army of the American revolution was well trained, led and equipped. however, the troops did not fare well so far from England and home. The American army had little in the way of training , equipment and supplies. but, they did have the will to fight the british oppression of the Americas. Washingtons acquiring of General Von Stueben made a big balls change in the training of American troops. the vanquish of british troops helpped the American army with guns and supplies which were in short supply. so, in some way the british helped supply the American forces.......... and that's all. oh yeah
In the British army a Bombadier is the same rank as Corporal
