The British were far from their homeland.
The geographic vastness of the colonies.

Answer 1

Answer: The British had less experienced military officers.

Explanation:

In this context, it is possible to point out that the British also had more experienced military officers than Americans. The long history of wars waged by Great Britain has resulted in many experienced military personnel. On the other hand, the colonists had minimal military experience but were at an advantage because the British had long waited for supplies to come across the ocean. Britain was also in financial trouble because it spent its state coffers during the wars with Napoleon.
