Congress didn't provide the army with enough equipment because: It didn't want a war
It wanted foreign countries to give aid
O a soldier's life is expected to be hard
It didn't have enough money
the Continental Army was a volunteer army

I believe the answer is because it didn't have enough money.

The Correct Answer is It didn't have enough money

Explanation:

It didn't have enough money. We were part of England before the revolutionary war but then we decided we wanted to be separate, so that's when the revolutionary war started. The U.S. (colonies) were practically a bunch of rebels with barely any money that wanted freedom from the royal nation.  

because of the war the westeners befriended japan and each other advance.
