How was the continental army able to win the war for independence from Great Britain?

Answer 1

The Continental Army did defeat the British in the Revolutionary War. That's why we no longer honor the queen.

IMPROVED ANSWER:

The reason Americans were able to defeat the British in the American Revolutionary War, was because of "distance." Fighting on unfamiliar territory, having to ship soldiers, weapons, and ammunition across the ocean, it was just as matter of time before the the British would lose the war.

It was a very hard financial burden for the British to fight the war in America. Also, during battles, men of the Continental Army could hide in wilderness regions, and the British were unable to find them.

Answer 2

One of the main reasons for the Colonists victory against the British, the colonists had an undercover spy network which consisted of spies who were either pretending to be part of the British army. Because of this, the troops were warned of what were supposed to be surprise attacks. This helped change the course of the war. Another reason that the colonists won instead of the highly trained British armies is that they made an alliance with France who sent in generals to train the colonist force. When the French helped train the colonists it increased their chances by giving them better weapons called bayonets and new training.
