What European nations fought with the Americans against the british?

Spain and France were the two main European countries (there was one more I believe) that took up arms against the Britishduring the American Revolution, however, not necessarily as allies to the Americans. France had a formal alliance with the Americans, yet only after the decisive battle of Saratoga. Spain, on the other hand, had no such alliance and pursued a more independent strategy against the British. This was due to Spain and France's fear of the threat that an American nation would be to their respective territories in the New World. However, note that the Americans considered their support of the Spanish, and even their alliance with the French, as mere tools in the pursuit of a victory of the British; many American leaders did indeed have dreams of expansion, as the Spanish and French feared.

Why did other nations help the patriots?

France had a bigger and better naval force than the Americans. France helped them out because they had been in war with England for a long time, and would jump in at the chance to defeat their enemy. Same with France, Spain also had been in war with England. They helped the colonies by supplying them with equipment. If there's other nations that helped them, then I don't know. I only know France and Spain.
