It was meteoric.
The American revolution was obviously for the united colonies separation from great Britain. The french revolution was a revolt against their government, like we revolted against Great Britain. Our revolution was much less violent, even though we had a war.
Generally, the working class and the peasants were not killed, though sympethisers of the bourgeausie were. The upper class and the nobles were usuually guillotined.
Jean-Paul Marat was many things; he was a great philosopher who helped to bring the French out of dark times. He was a radical voice and journalist during the French Revolution who resolutely stood up for the rights of the poor sans-culottes.
Many British Loyalists became instant Canadians after the American Revolution.
During the revolution, (he was in his very early 20's then) he left France and went back home to Corsica (which was a French colony at the time) and joined Pasquale Paoli who was a freedom fighter and a revolutionist. Through this move, he succeeded in becoming a lieutenant-colonel of the National Guard of Corsica in 1792. Though he was a revolutionary, he did not approve of the way France was going crazy during the revolution. In 1799 he came to power and put a stop to the revolution.

I believe the French did(seeing as though they were an enemy of England) and Spain might have provided some help.

There were no kings during the revolution. That was the point, to get rid of the monarchy. Though at the beginning there was Louis the.....(think it was 16th...no idea)!!? :D x
There were no french in the civil war their are some in the revolution though.
They were horrified at how the French had mistreated their government and of all the bloodshed that had occured. They felt that they could no longer trust the French even though they had been allies during the American Revolution.

Louis XIV was not in the French Revolution, since he had died in 1715. I think you mean Louis XVI, his great-grandfather, though he did not act anything.
The French Revolution started because the people decided that they wanted to get rid of the monarchy government. But what exactly started the revolution was that all though the subjects wanted to get rid of the monarchy , the French soldiers defended the monarchy. So began the Revolution. Good Luck! * The smarter and simpler reason is because the French people were treated unfairly.*
Yes. Though as a result of Napoleon's and Britain's blockades during the Napoleonic years, the US went to war with Britain for a short period of time. This war, the war of 1812, was indecisive.
Rousseau's ideas inspire many leaders of the French Revolution. Rousseau fought for individual freedom. He though that a direct democracy was the best form of government.
No. Though it is true that 1889 was the centenary of the French revolution, the Eiffel tower was designed as a landmark to be the entrance of the 1889 world fair, and as a statement about the possibilities of new building techniques with new materials.
