What are the similarities and differences between the glorious French and American revolutions?

Answer 1

France 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.

AnswerRemember 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. AnswerThe 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. AnswerThe American and French Revolutions do have at least one thing in common; the public rid themselves of their higher power. AnswerI 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. AnswerNapoleon 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! AnswerAn 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). AnswerThe 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.

Answer 2

Both the American and French Revolutions occurred in the same era, both overturned rule by a Monarch, both were more-or-less guided by the ideas of Enlightenment and had economics as a central issue.

The American Revolution ended in a Democracy, and the French Revolution brought forth first anarchy, then dictatorship.

In general terms, the American Revolution came about because the British government did not fully realize the seriousness of the unrest and dissatisfaction which soon developed in its colonies in North America. The British government in London considered the distant colonies more as a possession than as an extension of its territory and people. Ill-will between the British government and its colonies in North America began to develop after 1763.

The American colonies had enjoyed a large degree of self-government, and they wanted even greater freedom from British control, so they resented the imposition of stronger British rule and heavier taxes. The colonists refused to pay these taxes, and in 1773 the Boston Tea Party was staged to dump incoming tea into the harbor rather than pay taxes on it. Troops were sent into Massachusetts to strengthen British authority. Other events which aggravated the growing dissatisfaction in the colonies were new laws which limited westward settlement, restricted colonial trade with other countries and required colonists to house British soldiers stationed in their communities. All these laws are passed without consultation of the colonists.

When the American Revolution erupted in 1776, King Louis XVI of France supported the American colonies in their bid for independence from the United Kingdom. Little did the King know that he had helped bring about his own downfall. French military and financial support seriously weakened the French economy. In 1789, the same revolutionary fervor crossed the Atlantic Ocean and erupted in France. The effects of these revolutions spread around the world, as absolute monarchies in many other countries were replaced much more peacefully with limited constitutional monarchies, republics and other democracies.

The American Revolution officially began with a document, the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The French Revolution officially began with an action, the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789. The most obvious difference was that the American Revolution resulted in the newly independent United States, whereas the French Revolution overthrew its own government. However, the French people were greatly impressed with the ideals of freedom and democracy sought by the new United States, and these greatly influenced their thinking. In the 1780's, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson came to France as diplomats, and their presence in Paris greatly impressed the French people.

Answer 3

India vs France

India and France are different countries, which differ in their geographical, cultural, traditional and political characteristics.

India is officially known as the Republic of India, whereas France is officially termed as the French Republic. India is a country in South Asia, and France lies in the western region of Europe.

As a sovereign, socialist, secular and democratic republic, India is the seventh largest nation in the world, in geographical terms, and the second most populous nation in the world. On the other hand, France is a unitary, semi-presidential republic. It is the largest state in the European Union, and the third largest in Europe.

While India has recognized Hindi and English as official languages, France has only recognized French as the official language. The state of France was formed in 1843, with the treaty of Verdun. India is an ancient country, and was colonized by the British, French and Portuguese for a very long period. The country got its independence from the British on August 15, 1947.

Another difference that can be seen is that France is a developed country, whereas India is a developing country. When comparing their economies, France has a better economy than that of India. The national GDP of France is higher than that of the national GDP of India.

The name 'India' has been derived from the word 'Indus', which has been adapted from the Sanskrit word Sindhu. Well, there are numerous theories about the origin of the word France. The word France is a term that has been coined from the Latin word 'Francia', which means land of the Franks. It has also been said that France was derived from 'frankon', a Proto-Germanic word.

Well, France and India have many cultural differences. Unlike France, India has a cultural pluralism, and the people are very much absorbed in traditional customs. In India, family values are greatly respected.

1. As a sovereign, socialist, secular and democratic republic, India is the seventh largest nation in the world, in geographical terms, and the second most populous nation in the world. France is a unitary, semi-presidential republic.
