France spent a great deal of money helping the American
colonists gain their independence from Britain. How would this money lead to
the French Revolution?
Seeking revenge for France's aid to the colonies, England would send "revolutionaries" to France to start a revolution.
The drain on the French treasury would lead to economic collapse in France, sparking a revolution when its leaders failed to respond.
The new American government defaulted on the French loans, which angered the common people of France.
In return for France's assistance, America would provide financial support for the French Revolution.
