Intervention of God-Fearing, yet Non-intervening Powers, like, OMG!

In the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the War of 1812, and virtually all wars, any non-warring, yet intervening countries through supply, money, food, etc. affect both the result and war itself by either supporting or ruining a side's competition. In the American Revolution stemming way before the idea of presidency in the mid - late 1700's, the French were extremely vital to the American rebels in terms of overall supply, as they, too were also bearing an entity against the British. The war even ended with the French unloading troops that efficiently wiped out the British and won the war for the rebels. In the War of 1812, most interventions were focused on the sea, the navy, and trade. Many French ships were cut off on supply when the British blocked trade with the U.S. In the Civil War, Great Britain contributed to the Civil War by supplying munitions, they also have a role by cutting off ship supplies, but virtually, the North prevented the British from doing anything whatsoever, cutting off the vital essentials for the South, and thus, gaining efficiency in winning the war. Overall, many wars that have occurred throughout the world depend on intervening foreign powers, and even a slight help may be extremely crucial to the outcome of the war.
