Did king george the 3rd start the American Revolution?

No, he was simply the British King. By this time in History government was being devolved to ministers and parliament. Although King George II was the last British King to lead his troops in battle (Minden, Germany 1759) the effects of the American Revolution on George III were probably a matter of an insignificant colony a very long way away. Although he may well be the focus of the Colonists discontent, I do not think that the King was the cause of it. Obviously the war of revolution was fought against the British Crown, the British & Loyalist forces in North America would believe their fight was a 'legal' one, the colonists thought different.

How did peace with the French hasten the American Revolution?

Peace with the French, established through the Treaty of Paris in 1763, allowed the British to focus more on their American colonies, intensifying their efforts to impose taxes and regulations. This increased British control and dissatisfaction among colonists, who felt their rights were being violated. As tensions rose from these measures, the desire for independence grew stronger, ultimately hastening the push for the American Revolution. The absence of French influence also encouraged colonists to unite against a common adversary, fostering revolutionary sentiments.

What advantages do the French colonists looking for land in the Ohio River Valley have over the British-American colonists?

The French colonists in the Ohio River Valley had several advantages over the British-American colonists, primarily their established alliances with Native American tribes, which provided them with crucial support and knowledge of the land. Additionally, the French maintained a more centralized command structure, allowing for coordinated military efforts and resource allocation. Their focus on fur trade rather than large-scale agriculture also enabled them to develop strong economic ties with local tribes, fostering goodwill and collaboration that the British-American colonists often lacked.

What One of William Pitt's goals for the french and Indian war was to conquer french Canada?

One of William Pitt's primary goals during the French and Indian War was to conquer French Canada to eliminate French influence in North America. He believed that capturing Canada would significantly weaken French power and secure British dominance in the region. Pitt's strategic focus on North America aimed to rally colonial support and resources, ultimately leading to decisive British victories that paved the way for the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ceded Canada to Britain.


How did great Britain with its magnificent army navy and never ending finances and supplies lose the American revolutionary war to the American colonists?

There are other reasons, in addition to motivation, guerrilla tactics, and a long supply chain. The fact is that, except for the defeat of Cornwallis, ( prmarily due to the French Navy's participation) the British won most of the American Revolutionary War's major battles. Help received from the French was arguably the most important contribution to the American victory. Without it, the American colonists would almost certainly have been defeated. That's why Benjamin Franklin and other major American leaders spent so much time in Paris. The focus of British efforts elsewhere is another reason for the American success, and again the US has the French to thank for its victory. The war in the colonies was only part of a wider war between the British and the French, and it was in the Caribbean that the British concentrated most of their Naval effort, eventually defeating the French there, thereby securing what was then its richest colonial possession, the West Indies. Motivation (the outcome was not important to the British line soldier), guerrilla tactics used by the Americans (unfamiliar to the British), and being at the wrong end of a very long supply chain.
