What advantages did the British have as the war began?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Well, one advantage the British had at the beginning of the Revolutionary War was that they had the largest army on the planet. They also had more money and were much more developed of a country. The U.S. barely had a Continental Army, was not fully developed, and they didn't have a lot of money due to all the British taxation.

Have a wonderful day! :D

it would be  

germany had to pay all damages related to the war.

and i think

germany had to take sole responsibility for the war.

the conditions that made the byzantine empire vulnerable to attacks by the muslin turks were the sack of constantinople by western crusaders, the conquests of the sultanate of rum, presence of rival kingdoms and finally the set up of fiefdoms at the empire which were owned by the ghazis (turkish warriors).
