How did Great Britain (World Power) Lose to a bunch of hillbillies?

[Sin City]

First, Jingositically is not a word. Second, the British never had a chance. NEVER. They could have sent every soldier in the British Army, and they still would not have been able to crush the "rebellion".

Your soldiers were armed with inferior weaponry, they were trained in tactical maneuvering that was not only stupid considering they were fighting marksmen armed with rifles, but stupid because it was not effective in the terrain of the American frontier.

They relied on tactics that assumed they were fighting an armed force with organized supply lines, and infrastructure, when in reality they were fighting an army of self sustaining hunters.

Your soldiers were never more than prey to us. More soldiers would have simply meant more dead for you.

You can keep lying to yourself about British superiority, just know that you are lying to yourself.

Americans were on the same **** the Iraqis are pulling on us now in the mid east.
Guerrilla Tactics..
**** can get the job done if you know what your doing.

Guerilla warfare will wear down any army over enough time. Go watch Mel Gibson's The Patriot. When the Americans fought head to head they got their asses kicked. When they fought guerilla style the British got their asses kicked.

When the South lost they should have resorted to guerilla warfare.

Or the reason that reflected reality was that the war was becoming too expensive, too risky, the French had managed to get involved and there was more immediate value to be gained from India and the West Indies.

America went on to become the most powerful and richest nation on earth. But it took the First World War to diminish the strength of the British Empire for that to happen.

Pulling out of what became the USA enabled Britain to have a global empire for the next 100 years. Remaining in America would have resulted in the potential loss of India and the Indies.

What happened was at the time we were fighting Spain and France, then a few colonial peasents decided they didnt like paying taxes and wanted free reign to murder indians, so they deceded to take us on while we were massivley distracted.

Not strictly accurate. We got distracted by France while we were trying to stop the colonial peasants from killing indians, not before.

That's why guerillas eventually win, it costs too much to keep fighting them.

You have to provide a cost-benefit analysis. When the Indians tried it on they got crushed, because India was deemed more worthwhile than America.

They were right as well. India was considerably more valuable. And less fat.
