The citizens started a revolution when they were unhappy with their government.
the American revolution is important because it led to the revolutionary war
No real difference. The American Revolution was fought as a war for independence. Either works.
The American Revolution came first. King Louis XV who was the King in France (the one that was overthrown and sent to the guillotine during the french revolution) actually gave money to help the American cause. The Americans could not have won the war if they had not received financial & political support from France.
World War I occured after the Industrial Revolution and had the benefit, or curse, of technologically advanced weaponry. The American Revolution had a distinct purpose, independence from Britain, instead of hazy unclear motives like those of the Great War.
