Question
how many victims in American Independence War?

Answer
Hello Suzana,
It's impossible to be accurate, but the total number of deaths is believed to be about 53,000, about two thirds of those from disease. Troops from the USA, GB, France, Spain and the Netherlands were involved plus German mercenaries, Canadians and Indians. Battles were fought at sea and in other parts of the world between the British and her European enemies hence the large number of casualties.

I have a good basic knowledge of British political history, but my speciality is the Kings and Queens of England and Scotland from 927 AD. Please no social history questions, it's not my strong point and I'm unlikely to answer them.
