world was via the investers more then royals then they would not be so
intreasted to give up powers and rights/riches of the *new world*..... seems
hit intreasting topic here...

The monarchy (Britain) fought for 7 years to keep America, sending several
armies led by military heros, and also hiring German troops. But, with French
aid, we defeated these armies. We defeated the last one in Yorktown VA. It was
then too difficult to send another army over and come down from Canada (and
they had tried this earlier in the war and been defeated at Saratoga NY). And
we had expelled most of the loyalists (Tories), their local support, to Canada
and the Caribbean.  So they negotiated peace.

We fought a second war in 1812, but since then relations have been good.
