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.
