Explanation:

In the American War of Independence (1775-1783), France fought alongside the United States against Great Britain since 1778. French financing, ammunition, soldiers and naval forces were essential in the American victory over the British crown.

The objective of France was to weaken Great Britain, 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 and created coalitions with the Netherlands and Spain, which kept Britain without a significant ally to help it. It gave the Americans grants, weapons and loans. It also sent an army to serve under George Washington, that prevented the second British army from escaping from Yorktown in 1781.
