Foreign allies did a great contribution to the American Victory. Especially Spain, France, Poland, and other individual foreigners, who were the enemies of Great Britain, helped the patriots so much.

           The French worked hard to increase the population of French supporters for the Americans. Even The Americans made an alliance with the French because France helped the American in a big time by supporting them in the war. One of those famous and well-known individual foreigners was Marquis De Lafayette from France who provided the patriots with financial support because he donated about $200,00 for the warfare. And also he participated in the war and wounded his leg. Basically he did lots of scarification for the Patriots. 

            Later on Spain started to join the war against the Great Britain in 17 79.  The Spanish helped the patriots so much in the western Frontier. Another foreign individual from Spain named Bernardo de Galvez, who was a Spanish governor, was a very important ally of the patriots. He allowed the American to use the Spanish port of New Orleans. He also attacked British forts in Florida and along the Mississippi River.   

            Two Individuals from Poland named Tadesu Kosciuzko, and Kazimierz Pulaski came to America and helped the patriots so much. Kosciuzko was the one who brought army-engineering skills to help the war effort. Pulaski helped to train the cavalry units.   

             If these foreign allies didn’t help the patriots I don’ t think that America would have faced such a victory in the war between Great Britain and the Patriots. Because the patriots didn’t have so much money, weapons, or skilled army for themselves, they just had foreign allies who supplied the patriots with financial support, encouragements, weapons, and skilled army. Foreign allies were one of the major advantages for the patriots and it also turned out to be a major disadvantage for the Great Britain. If it weren’t for the foreign allies I am pretty sure that till now America would have been under the British control, without achieving their independence.
