| It was hard for Britain to
get supplies as fast as America could. Once the victory of Saratoga was
known it was clear to the French that if they didn't get into the war quickly
there was danger that England would make peace with America. So in February
of 1778 America and some other foreigners entered into the war and started
helping them. They helped them get everything they needed: guns, gunpowder,
etc. Whenever they thought they needed a certain supply of something they
would say so and they would have all of the supplies they needed in less
than two days! Britain on the other hand had to have a way to reach Europe.
They had to have supplies shipped all the way from Europe to America. That
would take a while to do. Britain was running out of supplies really quickly!
American was getting stronger and stronger day after day! That wasn't good
for the British at all. As a result of this, Britain lost the war.
