Why did the british think they were right in the revolutionary war?

Answer 1

Because the British have a historical background of military service and lineage, units with great military records and high esprit. Their training standards had always been set at a high level and their professional officers had served with distinction for their Monarch, their Country and their Regiment. US Officers they encountered were ninety day wonders and the troops were hillbillies, farm boys, and semi-lliterate draftees from American slums. Americans had no sense of History and culture. The Brits were correct, but these men could fight.

Answer 2

During the French and Indian war, Britian spended TONS of money to defend the colonies from allied French and Indian forces who would have attacked the colonies, not to mention that the colonies own George Washington(Yes, the first president) started the war by ambushing a French patrol. After the war,which spread worldwide, Britian was in a massive war debt. To help pay for this Britian levied taxes on the American colonies until the debt could be payed off. This really wasn't a big thing to Britian. After all, it was only temporarily and people leaving in Britian payed TEN TIMES as many taxes as the colonists had. The colonists complained often about "No Taxation Without Representation." The truth about this was that Great Britian had offered the colonist a spot in parliament for one of their delegates. They turned this down. Even if they had "Representation", the vote for the new taxes was so big, it wouldn't have made a difference. Besides, some people in parliament actually supported the colonies, although they were very few. So even if these supporters weren't officially representing the colonies, they still were. The colonist also grumbled that they could no longer have prisoners tried in their own courts anymore, but rather they were shipped over to Nova Scotia. This is simply because colonial jurys were biased and would vote a person guilty or innocent simply depending on whether they were loyalist or patriot. They also said it was unfare that colonial legislatures could only meet about once a month. This was to try to keep legislatures from coming up with dangerous ideas(For example, the Boston Tea Party). Another complaint was that colonist had to shelter British soldiers. The British saw this as part of keeping laws. Under law, colonists could not settle past an imaginary line in the west to prevent Indian hostilities and torespect where the Natives had lived for centuries. Many colonist ignored the law and settled past the line anyway. The majority of these people came from cities, so British soldiers were stationed in the cities to monitor were the people traveled. If the colonists did not give these soldiers shelter, in the winter they would freeze, and since tents don't last forever, in the summer, there tents would have been so battered, some of the soldiers would end up sleeping with no tents at all. Tents also took up a lot of space in crowded colonial cities. Some colonists said that soldiers should be punished for murder if somebody in the house they were staying in was found dead. They were not. This is because there was no evidence they did it, and most of the stories were made up anyway by angry colonists.

Answer 3

There could be many reasons for this attitude. Britain had been an imperial power for much longer than Japan, with a military that had won many wars. Japan like the US was a new kid on the imperial scene. Yet Japan was an Asian country, and racial bigotry cannot be ruled out. Hubris, also known as the victory disease, may have prevented the British from acknowledging the strengths of Japanese forces, until the point when they became undeniable.
