The Importance of Spies to Washington's Success
Abstract
The American Revolutionary War alluded to as the American War of Independence, and the Revolutionary War in the United States was a clash between Great Britain and thirteen of its North American provinces. The result of this war proclaimed freedom of those colonies as the United States of America. General George Washington's military prowess was instrumental to the militaries success during the war. Many strategies contributed to this achievement, but the use of spies had played a pivotal role in the success or failures of armies, nations, governments, and global warfare for centuries and this was no less true during the Revolutionary War. This paper will discuss an overview of the Revolutionary War, intelligence during the war; the role women played during the conflict and other factors of the war. George Washingtons dependence on espionage was critical to his overall success.
