Explanation:

In the American War of Independence (1775-1783), France fought alongside the United States against Great Britain, beginning in 1778. Financing, ammunition, soldiers and French naval forces were essential in the American victory over the British crown . However, France won very little, except for large debts.

Benjamin Franklin was the American ambassador to France. From 1776 to 1783, Franklin met the leading diplomats, aristocrats, intellectuals, scientists and financiers. The writings and images of Franklin captivated the imagination of the French - there were images of Franklin that were sold in the market - and became the new American archetype, and even a hero for the aspirations of a new order in France. The objective of France was to weaken England, to prevent it from becoming more powerful and to take revenge for the defeat it suffered in the Seven Years' War. After the US capture of the invading British army at Saratoga (1777), and after the French Navy was rehabilitated, France was ready. In 1778 France recognized the United States as a sovereign nation, signed a military alliance, created coalitions with the Netherlands and Spain, which kept Britain without a significant ally to help it. He gave the Americans grants, weapons, loans. He sent an army to serve under George Washington and sent an army that prevented the second British army from escaping from Yorktown in 1781. For all, France spent 1.3 billion pounds (approximately 13 billion dollars in current currency) to support Americans directly, not including the money they spent fighting against England on land and sea outside the United States.

France's help was vital in the American victory over the British crown. The United States won many territories with the signing of the Treaty of Paris of 1783. But France, after losing some naval battles, did not achieve much. France got his revenge and got a new ally and business partner. However, the high debt accumulated by France was one of the main causes of the French Revolution of 1789 and subsequently the Quasi-War between Revolutionary France and the United States.
