What was the most significant factor in the United States’ victory in the American Revolution?
  1. Support from Canadian militias.
  2. Aid from France.
  3. Aid from Spain.
  4. The Loyalists’ decision not to mount a counter-effort on the home front.
Explanation
Answer: B - Monetary and military aid from France was the most significant factor in the United States’ victory in the American Revolution. The British had the opportunity to win the war on a couple of occasions, but strategic mistakes ultimately went in the Americans’ favor each time. Eventual aid from England’s longstanding foe France, including critical funding as well as the military tutelage of Marquis de La Fayette, proved instrumental in the former colonies victory.
