The American Revolution is universally seen as a colossal defeat of
the powerful British Empire by colonial rebels. Yet the British
emerged from the conflict in better shape than the newly
independent United States. After the revolution became a global
conflict with the entry of France, Spain and later the Netherlands
on the American side, Britain's desire to maintain prestige in
Europe through dominance of her many colonies-particularly the West
Indies and India-was the driving force behind British strategy.
Military victories late in the war, along with retention of the
rest of the empire, allowed Britain to remain a significant power.
This history explores the view that Great Britain did not really
"lose" the Revolutionary War.
