Britain controlled 1/5 of the world and and still is a world super power. Britain's army's far out numbered the colonists, however Britain's forces were spread out across the globe. This left the colonists out numbering the British military and so victory was achieved. As in those days the communications of today were unavailable hence little or no reinforcement's. As Britain owned so much little was done to reacquire its lost land. However in those days it wasn't Britain vs the USA as the colonists were all British them selves and so the war was more of a civil war than anything else!
