1 is certainly D and D is the most logical choice for 2 as well, though I can't find any documentation to support that!.

A-Britain wasn't defeated that badly

C!. The Tories were the government that prosecuted the war, and Mr!. Pitt was the longtime supporter of the American Cause!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
