How Did France Obligated To Aid France?
In 1793, France was at war with it’s surrounding countries; Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, and the United Netherlands. France turned to America for support because in America’s time of need, during The American Revolution, France aided America. France thought it was time for America to repay them. In response, the US drafted the Proclamation of Neutrality which said that they would not be taking any side in the war. Although some may say that America was obligated to aid France, America made the right decision to stay neutral, since America was vulnerable lacking a strong army, and they had no legal obligation to take action.
Many said that neutrality was wrong. Some people claimed that by signing a treaty with France’s ruler, Louis

The Treaty of Amity and Commerce recognized that the U.S. was an independent nation and they promoted trade between the Americas and France. The Treaty of Alliance made The U.S and France as allies against Britain. They secretly shipped supplies, mostly gunpowder to the Continental Army, but racked up around 1 billion livres in debt.…

    Why Did Adams Have Avoided War

    With France being angry at America's statement of neutrality, they attacked American ships. To put a stop to this, Adams sent 3 people to France to attempt to reach a peace with France in 1797. However, French agents want the Americans to pay a bribe of $250,000 and lend millions of dollars to France. The Americans objected to this and said " Millions for defense but not one sixpence for tribute. " When they came back and the story got out, Americans were outraged and demanded war.…

    2. What role did France play in winning America’s independence? The French played a gigantic role in winning America’s independence. If it had not been for France’s money, weapons, powerful navy, and soldiers America would have definitely lost. In the battle of Yorktown George Washington would’ve definitely died and lost the battle against General Cornwallis. If it hadn’t been for the 5000-6000 French soldiers America might not have had its first president! The French did not come to help the U.S. because they wanted America to be free, but they did it for their own reasons. They wanted to crush the British for not only the French and Indian War but other external reasons.…

    France's Involvement in the Revolutionary War

    If it was not for the help of the French, America would have never gained their independence from Britain. Britain was the biggest empire that the world had seen since the Roman Empire. In fact, without assistance the Americans were no match for Britain. The hatred towards the British from both the French and Americans had made it easy for them to form an alliance. In 1778, representatives of both America and France signed the Treaty of Alliance. The two countries agreed to aid each other in the event of a British attack from the present time and forever. It also stated that neither country would make amends with England until independence of the United States was recognized. America forming an alliance with the French was significant in gaining America’s independence. Because of the donation of funds, the help from French navy and the help from the French military, the Americans gained their independence.…

    George Washington's Problems With The Fathers

    George Washington faced some few yet significant issues regarding the foreign affairs policy of the United States after becoming the first president of the United States of America. It had to do with the war between France and England that took place in the year 1793. The vinculum of the United States with the war was ineluctable as it was involved in trade relations with France. As a result, the British army had seized American ships that were carrying on the trade process with France. At this point of time, the United States needed to take an immediate decision that had to do with the extent of its participation in the war between France and England. Many people in the United States advocated the idea of United States supporting France in the war against England as France had done so for the United States in the 1770s nevertheless the United States did not do that. In fact, it signed a peace treaty with Britain, which was deemed unfair by many people but President George Washington took a prudent step at this juncture, fully aware of the fact that the United States was not capable of affording another war against England.…

    How Did France Enter The American Revolution

    Influential figures like Count de Vergennes advocated joining the colonists in fighting Great Britain in hopes of simultaneously reestablishing France as Great Britain's peer; however, out of fear of raising tensions with Great Britain, advocates of the revolution failed to gain the necessary support to enter the war during the first years of the revolution. As such, for the first three years of the revolution it looked as if Great Britain would defeat the colonists, but to no avail, in 1778, France formally – and publicly – allied themselves with the colonists in the hopes of getting retribution against Great Britain for the Seven Years War, keeping Great Britain from holding too much power in the Western world, and keep France's own colonies stable in terms of trading. It is important to keep in mind that France entered into the American Revolution at two different times: the first being when politicians became increasingly curious over what was happening in the colonies and began to intervene in secret, and the second being when France formally and publicly allied themselves with the American…

Washington constructed Fort Necessity, and soon attacked the French. The French and Indian War had begun. However, when studying american nationalism, it is not what started the French and Indian war that is important. Instead, by focusing on the American’s view of the British during this time, the growing nationalistic ideas leading to the American Revolution are more apparent.…

The anthem reflects their attempts to rally the people with a call to arms to end their oppression. The following stanzas from the anthem exemplify this call:…
