The revolutionary war was perhaps the most pivotal war in United States history. Causing
thousands of deaths, it was a war fought primarily over ideals and principle rather than land and
material wealth. While at one point it appeared as if the United States was going to lose its fight
for independence, a crucial turning point in the war came as France decided to join. France
decided to Join the revolutionary war for many reasons, but primarily due to their interest in
repaying Britain for their losses in the French and Indian war (Seven Years War), to further
secure the prospects of their land in the Americas, and to help Americas principles.
A primary reason behind Frances decision to enter the revolutionary war was their desire
to repay Britain for their losses in the Seven Years War. Over the course of this war, the French
fought alongside and assisted the Indians against Britain. They did this in order to fortify their
position on land holdings in America. Unfortunately for the French, they suffered grave losses
and ended up losing this war. It was followed with widespread shame and humiliation on the
world stage. For these reasons the French saw the American Revolution as a way to avenge their
losses and potentially regain their prowess on the world stage.
Another reason France decided to enter the Revolutionary War was to secure their land
holdings in America. These land holdings were under threat as the British had a more direct line
to supplying their land, and were potentially hostile to the French. The French saw negotiations
with the Americans to be far more favorable and ultimately elected to take the Americans as
allies rather than the British in order to secure their land. In addition, the opening of other fronts
of war with Britain assisted in the destabilization of England as a whole assisting France in a
potential rise to power in coming years.
The final reason the French decided to help the Americas was their similarity of ideals.
The French were largely at odds with the British ways of Imperialism and as evidenced by the
later French revolution maintained similar ideals to the Americans. For these reasons they
decided to get involved in the war on the side of Americans.
The revolutionary war was ultimately won by America on a large part due to the
contributions of the French. Their technology in addition to wide array of desperately needed
supplies assisted the Americans in their struggle against the British. The success of their ideals,
coupled with the ultimate strengthening of the democratic system finally lead to one of the
greatest systems of human government in history. This was made possible through French
assistance and to this day the United States owes to France a large debt of gratitude.
