At the time of the American Revolution Britain, France, and Spain were all competing for colonial territories and spoils. They were the three most powerful empires in the world, the three superpowers of their time. France joined the revolutionary war because they saw it as an opportunity to make Britain weaker throughout the imperial possessions that Britain already controlled, basically giving France a free hand to continue colonial expansion in other regions of the world without competition from Britain. In addition, the French also saw a chance for stripping Britain of some of her colonial possessions in any postwar treaty the Americans and the British made if the French joined the Americans and came to the table.
