Answer 1

rance assisted America in their revolution so much that it in supplying 90% of gunpowder stocks in 176 as well as artillery troops, navy (as America didn't have one) they crippled themselves financially then later started a Revolution of their own. Remember that the American Revolution happened 1776-1783 and after the French saw that King George the 3rd lost the most prized colony of England decided that they would do as the Americans did and revolt against tyranny. The French Revolution took place after the American revolution. The French and American Revolution had many of the same ideologies. Each revolt concerned itself with the personal freedom of the people as well as the proper representation of those citizens within the respective government. The American Revolution was initiated against Great Britain, and the policies of the British Parliament, 3000 miles from the site of the revolution. The French Revolution, however, was a revolt against the autocratic rule of King and Nobles within the French system. While each revolution contained military warfare, the French Revolution turned more bloody and violent than the American Revolution.

The American and French Revolutions do have at least one thing in common; the public rid themselves of their higher power. I believe that I have a more complete answer. They do have some subtle differences, but they are definitely numbered. One of them is that each country's king was the cause of the revolution (King George III for the American, King Louis XVI for French). Each country had their own Declaration and Constitution written during their Revolution. Also, each country revolted against a higher power, as mentioned in the previous post.
Napoleon was the 'George Washington' of the French Revolution. except for the fact that he did not help set up the constitution, believe in democracy, or want the people to rule themselves, instead of becoming president in a limited term, he declared himself emperor and tried to rule all of Europe so. other than that, they are just alike! An obvious similarity is the French involvement in both Revolutions. Americans travelled to Paris 4 times begging for assistance against the British to which the French obliged and were semi-secretly involved from the get go supplying 90% of gunpowder stocks in 1776..as well as artillery troops, navy America didn't have one). The similarities seem to have been covered by previous answers. But one striking difference between the French and American revolutions is that, while France truly underwent a revolution within its own borders, the American colonies fought a war, not of revolution, but of secession. In France, the revolutionary forces sought to overthrow an oppressive internal government. In America, the colonists fought to secede, or withdraw, from a repressive government thousands of miles and a wide ocean distant.
