At the beginning of the French Revolution, the Americans supported the war because the French had the same ideals as the Americans- to overthrow the king. However, the war became out of hand and those who were supposed to lead the group who wanted to overthrow the king became overthrown by their own people. For example, Marquis de Lafayette's sister, mother, and grandmother were beheaded when they were supposed to be the leader. The French Revolution became more of a war with the poor against the rich instead of a war with differing ideas. The French Revolution was much more violent than the American Revolution.
Leaving aside British vs. Gallic passion or lack thereof ...
The French had convenient scapegoats "handy", as it were.
The American revolutionaries (many of whom were, themselves, fairly wealthy) would have had to form a mob, charter a boat, and travel two months or so to England in order to grab some significant nobleman and string him up. With travel time back home, it would have required an investment of a significant fraction of a year, longer if you stopped off at the pub after for a quick pint, and chances are that by the time you got there you'd have cooled down a bit and found saying "I find your policies most unpleasant! Good day, Sir!" to be sufficient.
The French revolutionaries (many of whom were peasants) had to walk down the street. Total time required, maybe a couple of hours including the cafe afterward.
The Haitian revolutionaries... and this is going to sound racist, but bear with me... were mostly black slaves. They had grievances against France in general, sure, but only in a kind of general and abstract way compared to the grievances they had against their owners, who again were right there for the purposes of the having of the vengeance.
They both fought to free themselves of tyranny. America fought to free itself from the rule of George III, while France fought to free itself from the rule of its monarchs and nobles. Although the American Revolution was not as violent as the French Revolution, they both made a big impact at cost many lives. One can also see the similarities through their connection with each other at this time. During the American Revolution, the French aided in the defeat of the British navy and land forces. This, in turn, cost them and put them in a deficit. This deficit added to the need for Revolution in France. Both Revolutions established a constitution with their own forms of government and citizen rights. The final stage of the French Revolution was the Directory. This was the establishment of Napoleon as France's new leader. After the American Revolution, President George Washington became President. After both Revolutions there was a strong and influential leader established.
both the Irish and french revolutions were inspired by the American revolution. after the American revolution,many french soldiers and generals,eg Marquis de lafyette,who had fought for France alongside the American colonists brought the idea back to France,and after that,the Irish heard of it and were influenced greatly by American ideas
Spain was an ally of France so it gave some money to the American Revolution. Spain sent gold to be used for the Battle of Yorktown.
France entered the American Revolution on the side of the Patriots because they hated Great Britian.
The American Revolution was over before 1799 when Napoleon became the First Consul of France.
The American Revolution inspired many other revolutions such as the Haitian Revolution and the French Revolution. The American Revolution showed that Revolutions could be started and ended with a good outcome. So the Haitians, Latins, French, and a bunch of other countries revolted.
Monetary support for the American Revolution came from the Netherlands, France and Spain.

Depends what you call a Revolution. If it's a change of Constitution, there have been 23. If you mean a violent overthrow of the existing régime, then there were revolutions in 1789, 1792, 1795, 1799, 1805 (though the change from Consulate to Empire was bloodless), 1814, 1815, 1830, 1848 and 1870. I make that 9 or 10.
the American Revolution
You'll have to clarify that, revolutions happen within a country, not between two nations.
France helped the Americans in the American Revolution. That is why they ended in extreme debt after which helped lead to their Revolution. France helped the Americans in the American Revolution. That is why they ended in extreme debt after which helped lead to their Revolution.
France had a debt of $11 million because of supplies and other military service at the end of the American Revolution.
