The French Forces in Britain was very small. Not that many made it out of France after the Battle of Dunquerqe (Dunkirk). The French armed forces did join with Britain and the US forces and they were known as the allied forces.

Why did French immigrants come to America and when?

The French claimed New France one year after Jamestown was founded. The French government was driven by the same impulses as the British crown, determined to keep up with the British as far as colonization of the New World. The problem was that most French citizens did not want to come to the area known as New France. The soil and climate were not suited for farming. The soil and climate of Nova Scotia were worse than New England. Most French settlers were laborers or tradesmen, not farmers. The crown would only allow French citizens in their colonies. The Huguenots, for example, were harassed in France and eventually many ended up in the British colonies. The French did find a good trade with the Indians in furs and trapping animals for their fur became an important industry as well as colonial fishing. The French colonies grew slowly.

Why did the Iroquois ally themselves with Britain?

In the Revolutionary War Period of America's history, the Iroquois generally favored alliances with Great Britain rather than the American colonists for one fundamental reason: the British were less of a threat than the colonists were, which is to say that they had more to gain from helping the British than helping the nascent "Americans." The British cannily garnered Iroquois support by also supplying them with arms and other helpful resources.
