Question

which strategy was george washington forced to use early in the revolutionary war?
attack the enemy regardless of losses to his army
retreat whenever necessary to save his army
hire spanish mercenaries to attack british forts
always fight in the traditional european style

Explanation:

During the early Revolutionary War, George Washington's army was often at a disadvantage in direct, traditional European - style battles against the British. To preserve his army (which was crucial for the long - term fight for independence), he would retreat when necessary. Option A is incorrect because attacking regardless of losses would have destroyed his army. Option B is incorrect as he didn't hire Spanish mercenaries for attacks. Option D is incorrect as his army was not capable of always fighting in the traditional European style due to lack of training, supplies, and numbers compared to the British.

Answer:

C. retreat whenever necessary to save his army
