Why the french did not publicly support the Americans untile after the battle of saratoga?

During the American Revolution, the Americans did not receive any support from outside nations for several years. It was not until their victory at Saratoga (in 1777) that France was willing to offer public (and quite generous) support of the American cause. The reason is that the French, like other European peoples, were not willing to lend a hand to a cause that was doomed to fail: they needed assurance (through victories by the Americans) that their help would be going to a serious, legitimate cause.


Why did the us stop supporting french revolution?

The Americans understood very well why the French wanted to have a change in their own country. Because the French had helped America fight in their revolution, America was freed from the UK government and got their declaration of Independence. When the French troops returned home and started revolting against their own government as well, the Americans understood very well the cause of it and at first supported it, but only until it became clear to the Americans that the French were using horrible violence and were actually planning on dethrowning and killing the King and Queen. When the Americans got wind of that, they stopped their understanding and support instantly since they could not agree with such radical and violent plans. Especially not, since King Louis XVI had sent the French troops to America to help fight against the UK! How could they support a country that wanted to rid itself from the French King who gave the Americans the ability to be independent? They were very grateful to Louis XVI and they started to sympathize with him.

How did the Battle of Saratoga change the relationship between the French and the Americans?

The Battle of Saratoga played a huge influence on the French. The fact that the colonists won a decisive victory proved to the French that the colonists could actually fight. The French were eager to get back at the British because of their humiliating loss in the French and Indian War, and saw a chance to get revenge and increase their power by becoming involved in the American Revolutionary War. Mainly due to Saratoga, the French decided to enter in the colonists war for independence.
