Question

How Did the American War of Independence and events of ireland contribute to french Revolution.

Answer 1

The French Revolution was influenced by the political experiences and systems of other nations. The most significant of these influences was the American Revolution. In 1775, after a decade of political tension, the 13 British colonies in eastern North America rebelled and declared their independence from the mother country. After almost eight years of war, the American colonies emerged victorious. They formed a new nation, the United States of America, that was founded on three documents: a declaration of independence, a constitution and a bill of rights. The American Revolution served as a model for those seeking change in France. It provided reformers with a working example of a successful and moderately peaceful revolution. It also facilitated the spread of revolutionary ideas in France. Ironically, France’s King Louis XVI and his government had supported the American Revolution with financial aid and military support. France’s involvement in the American Revolutionary War placed even more pressure on the national treasury, contributing to the fiscal crisis of the 1780s.
