b) Guerrilla warfare

Guerrilla warfare, learned from natives, was a key strategy employed by American forces in the Revolutionary War, notably contributing to the victory at the Battle of Saratoga. This unconventional approach, involving small, mobile units engaging in hit-and-run tactics and ambushes, leveraged the colonists’ intimate knowledge of the local terrain. The use of guerrilla tactics, a departure from traditional European military methods, allowed the Americans to effectively counter the might of the British army. The success of guerrilla warfare at Saratoga and throughout the war demonstrated its efficacy and influenced future military strategies.
