What effect did the French alliance have on the outcome of the Revolutionary War?

Answer 1

The Colonists got money and weapons from the French. Also, the French distracted the British by attacking them elsewhere in the world. And, the French Navy helped to cut off the British at Yorktown, Virginia, enabling the Colonists to defeat them and bring the Revolution to a close. Unfortunately for French King Louis the XVI, supporting the Colonials was very expensive, and it inspired his own people to have a Revolution against him, which led to his death, as well as the deaths of many other French people.

Answer 3

They provided military support. The Battle of Yorktown was won because the French Navy prevented the British Navy from being able to rescue General Cornwallis. This forced Cornwallis to surrender to Washington. They also provided military advisors that were a big help in training the Continental Army.

Answer 4

It inspired the French people, mainly the middle class and lower class, to challenge the authority of their King and the aristocratic upper class. This led to the French Revolution (1789-1799).

The lower classes in France felt as mistreated and disenfranchised by their leaders as the Americans had when punitive acts were passed by the British Parliament, laws that they saw as abridging their rights.

Answer 5

Well, in general terms, the American Revolution came about because the British government did not fully realize the seriousness of the unrest and dissatisfaction which soon developed in its colonies in North America. The British government in London considered the distant colonies more as a possession than as an extension of its territory and people. Ill-will between the British government and its colonies in North America began to develop after 1763. The American colonies had enjoyed a large degree of self-government, and they wanted even greater freedom from British control, so they resented the imposition of stronger British rule and heavier taxes. The colonists refused to pay these taxes, and in 1773 the Boston Tea Party was staged to dump incoming tea into the harbor rather than pay taxes on it. Troops were sent into Massachusetts to strengthen British authority. Other events which aggravated the growing dissatisfaction in the colonies were new laws which limited westward settlement, restricted colonial trade with other countries and required colonists to house British soldiers stationed in their communities. All these laws are passed without consultation of the colonists. When the American Revolution erupted in 1776, King Louis XVI of France supported the American colonies in their bid for independence from the United Kingdom. Little did the King know that he had helped bring about his own downfall. French military and financial support seriously weakened the French economy. In 1789, the same revolutionary fervor crossed the Atlantic Ocean and erupted in France. The effects of these revolutions spread around the world, as absolute monarchies in many other countries were replaced much more peacefully with limited constitutional monarchies, republics and other democracies. The American Revolution officially began with a document, the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The French Revolution officially began with an action, the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789. The most obvious difference was that the American Revolution resulted in the newly independent United States, whereas the French Revolution overthrew its own government. However, the French people were greatly impressed with the ideals of freedom and democracy sought by the new United States, and these greatly influenced their thinking. In the 1780's, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson came to France as diplomats, and their presence in Paris greatly impressed the French people.
