There are two ways in which the American Revolution helped cause the French Revolution:

  1. The French paid an exorbitant amount of money to help sustain the Colonial Rebel Army and for French armies and navies to fight against the British. As a result, French coffers were notoriously bankrupt.
  2. The ideas of the American Revolution, such as the equality of all people and personal freedoms were very attractive to the French bourgeoisie who were limited by authoritarian laws and legal inequalities with the French nobility and clergy. The success of the American Revolution served to inspire the French to rise up and clamor for equality.
