Question

do you think the colonists could have won independence without aid from foreign nations? explain

Answer 1

Yes, the colonists could have won without foreign aid. They also could have lost with or without foreign aid. And, if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their butts on the ground.

Answer 2

The Treaty of Alliance (a.k.a. the "Franco-American Alliance") was a pact between France and the United States signed in Paris by American and French officials on February 6, 1778. It stated that the two countries agreed to aid each other into the indefinite future in the event of a British attack. Further, neither country would make amends with London until the independence of the United States was recognized. The Treaty also stated that neither America nor France would conclude treaties with other nations unless diplomats from both countries were present during negotiations. It was mutually beneficial for only five years, from 1778 to 1783 and was abrogated in late 1799 after the notorious XYZ Affair.

The Treaty came about following the success of American forces in the Battle of Saratoga (New York), when French leaders were convinced that the Americans could indeed prevail against their hated British rivals. It brought France directly into the conflict and produced a tremendous financial and psychological advantage for the Americans. It would later prove decisive at the final major battle, the siege of Yorktown, when the presence of both French land and naval forces convinced British General Cornwallis that a continuation of the campaign was hopeless. Scholars generally agree that it is in large part responsible for the severely impoverished French economy during the reign of Louis XVI and therefore, explains the raucous popular unrest which generated the French Revolution in 1789.
we not could win

Answer 3

I think the colonists could have won independence without aid from France if thats what you mean. But I think it would have been much harder and would have cost more lives. The French were most of our money. In addition to sending in troops to help us, they gave us a lot of financial support.
