Abstract
How can the small, rag-tag Continental army outlast the 18th century's most formidable military power? One important factor is that the British misunderstand what they are facing in this conflict, one of five battlefronts in which the British are engaged in the years 1760 to 1815. Powerful opposition to the war in Parliament, the active support of European powers against the British, and the realization that the colonies are not crucial to British prosperity also play a role. It may not have been much of a war, but the colonists now hold the destiny of this young untried nation in their own hands.
