The same could be said about the Americans in 1783.

Or the North Vietnamese in 1975.

The North Vietnamese had the dudes, the firepower and the money in '75. They sent something like 180k soldiers across the border with a lot of help from the Soviet Union.

As for us:

-We had ~48,000 regular troops, backed by Colonial troops plus another 12,000 French.
The Brits had ~22,000 troops of their own with another 25k loyalists.
