Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The American Revolution was principally caused by colonial opposition to British attempts to impose greater control over the colonies and to make them repay the crown for its defense of them during the French and Indian War (1754–63).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Revolution also unleashed powerful political, social, and economic forces that would transform the post-Revolution politics and society, including increased participation in politics and governance, the legal institutionalization of religious toleration, and the growth and diffusion of the population.
