Best Answer

The main similarity between the French and American revolutions were that in both cases a king had been the main power that was over thrown as rulers. The comparison was not totally accurate however. In the case of the American revolution, the British monarch remained in power of Britain's global empire. In the case of the revolution in France in 1789, the French king, Louis XVI was deposed and eventually executed by the leaders of the revolution.

The French Revolution was likened to the American Revolution because of the attempts to topple the unchecked authority and power of a monarchy to establish a different form of government.
