How were the colonists able to defeat the greatest world power of their time?


By gaining confidence from the military, the French were able to defeat the greatest world power of their time (the British). To gain confidence/trust is an important factor this may help when it comes to war.
The french started to make their borders stronger and this helped them for any kind of attack. They were prepared for any situation.
Then the British started giving taxes. The colonies were not pleased by those new taxes. Stamp Act was what one of the new taxes the British made. The colonies were unwilling for all of this and brought delegates to come and gather in New York. They decided and convinced that all kind of tax could not come from the parliament, but from the legislatures.
