Done by the wealthiest and most populous colonies of British settlers, with copious aid from multiple Great Powers like France and the Netherlands. As opposed to some third rate guerillas fighting with equipment donated by another third world country.
Recover? They got their arse pasted within 6 weeks and then spent the rest sitting with their thumbs up their arse until the Allies liberated Paris. At which point they started acting like they should be counted as one of the Victors despite contributing less than China did.
And of course, we all know that France was the only nation to take casualties in WW1. And received no aid from the Marshall Plan at all. And wasn't facing opponents who faced much worse casualties under the Japanese.
Royalist France, and Spain both contributed arms funding, and recognition to the American Cause yes Washington's victory helped insure that recognition but it was recognition of legitimacy from international powers which brought Britain to the table
France's population had already basically stagnated before WW1, the only reason they survived in WW1 is England committing the BEF, and even then the French high command in 1910 already planned to throw colonial troops at the Germans until they ran out of ammunition in conjunction with extending conscription to a very unpopular three years with the expectation that Russia would surge troops into east prussia that Von Moltke lost his nerve and the German navy ate up budget appropriations are really what insured the Germans didn't win in 1914 and after that it was English Credit, and then American Credit, grain and bullets that allowed France to survive... which was of course to result in France defaulting on its war time debts to the US to the tune of several billion dollars 1920s money.
Yep. Sometimes you buy something like that on a whim, use it, and wonder why in the world you didn't try it before.
It was a long trip, the whole thing was really expensive, and India was better money.
Yep. They didn't really lose the war so much as they said "fuck it"
Parliament always wants to do shit like that on the cheap Congress got it honest
I thought 1812 was before the america war of independence.
... The American War of Independence was officially declared 1775 (plus about a decade of increasing unrest that's considered the 'American Revolution' before then), and ended 1783.
I've seen this video on Youtube
Also, the US tried to conquer Canada. Which is fun.
Tried? We were succeeding.

Leaving out the obvious possibility of infidelity?
So "Kira" something.
