Detailed explanation-1: -Both the American and the French Revolutions aimed at bringing equality and liberty to the people. Both nations were attempting to gain freedom from their rebellion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Americans’ victory over the British may have been one of the greatest catalysts for the French Revolution. The French people saw that a revolt could be successful-even against a major military power–and that lasting change was possible. Many experts argue that this gave them the motivation to rebel.
Detailed explanation-3: -France chose to support the American Revolutionaries for two reasons. First, in global politics, France had been engaged in periodic wars with Great Britain. However, being a colonial power, they did not want to appear to be endorsing rebellious colonies.
Detailed explanation-4: -Between 1778 and 1782 the French provided supplies, arms and ammunition, uniforms, and, most importantly, troops and naval support to the beleaguered Continental Army. The French navy transported reinforcements, fought off a British fleet, and protected Washington’s forces in Virginia.
