Question

in reference to the american revolution, what do these terms have in common?
a they all assisted the british.
b they all assisted the americans.
c they all are examples of foreign involvement in the war.
d they all are examples of people or groups who stayed neutral.

Explanation:

• Marquis de Lafayette: A French aristocrat who volunteered to fight for the American colonists. He provided military leadership and was a key figure in the Continental Army.
• Baron von Steuben: A Prussian military officer who helped train the Continental Army, improving its discipline and effectiveness.
• Hessians: German mercenary soldiers hired by the British. However, their involvement still represents foreign (German - as they were from German states) participation in the conflict.

All three - the French (Lafayette), the Prussian (von Steuben), and the German Hessians (even though they fought for the British) - show foreign involvement in the American Revolution.

Answer:

C. They all are examples of foreign involvement in the war.
