France had been defeated by the UK in the Seven Years Wars and when the American Revolution began King Louis determined that anything France could do to injure, irritate or inconvenience the UK by supporting the Patriots was worth a few million dollars worth of artillery, shot and shells, gunpowder and muskets. They smuggled military equipment into the Colonies until after the British defeat at Saratoga, at which time they formed an alliance and sent in a 10,000 man force under Rochambeau and their badly needed Navy.
